It took me a while to discern what the description was trying to outline. In many cases it said it would fit rifles with scopes but there were specific bullet points that said it would not. I want to be clear in case you are on the fence about purchasing this. I have an AR 15 and MP1522. Both of them have similar size scopes. There is absolutely no way you could fit these with a magine already inserted. Due to the depth of the safe that had 12 inches listed in the description and how the door closes I had to take the magines out and store the rifles in the furthest to the left and the furthest to the right positions. This allowed the door to fully close and left all the open space in the center. Since none of my rifles are above 42 inches I was able to put the second shelf in and store all of my ammo on it. For my hand guns I purchased Velcro holders that could be placed on the door. They are not perfect but they do Serve their purpose. Im concerned that they will lose their tackiness overtime but that remains to be seen. The last thing I did was purchase a double/sided magnet that can hold loaded magines. It worked out perfectly. I would probably opt for a full door organizer that fits in the future.
Lesson learned. Make sure you get the appropriate depth and make sure you understand that that is not the actual amount of space you get to store a rifle that has the stock resting on the floor of the safe.
While I did bolt the safe to the wall it is basically a glorified school locker. It will however serve its purpose in ensuring that no small children are able to access it. The biometrics do work and I feel more secure that I am able to lock my guns down.
I really believe that the descriptions should be modified and clearly outline the ability to store rifles with scopes.
