Kodiak KBX5933 46-Gun Safe

This kodiak kbx5933 46-gun safe review starts with the verdict: the Kodiak KBX5933 is the best safe in our guide for large gun collections, and it ranks #2 of 9 overall. It is a 46-long-gun safe made by Rhino Metals, sold under the Kodiak brand, with a 4.5-star rating from 64 Amazon ratings at $1,369. The steel body measures 59 by 33 by 22 inches, and the feature bullets list a 395-pound build while the specs show a 470-pound item weight, so plan for a heavy delivery. In practice, this safe fits buyers who own 30 or more rifles and want room for optics, pistols and ammunition in one cabinet.

On top of that, the SafeX Security System combines 14-gauge steel, a UL Listed electronic lock, hardened armor plate and an anti-tamper clutched handle, which means the door resists prying and tampering better than a basic cabinet safe. For fire protection, Fireboard insulation and a heat-activated fire door seal deliver 40 minutes at 1400 degrees Fahrenheit. That rating is stronger than the average residential safe but still below a commercial vault. Meanwhile, the interior adds a deluxe door organizer, handgun holders and adjustable shelves, so pistols and ammo stay separate from the rifle rack. The external hinges open a full 180 degrees, making it easier to pull long rifles with scopes. Internal electrical outlets with USB ports let you run a dehumidifier or charge devices inside.

At $1,369, the Kodiak KBX5933 costs about $30 per long-gun slot, which is fair for a 46-gun safe with a 40-minute fire rating. By contrast, the 42-gun Kodiak KBX5629 costs about $212 less, but it gives up four rifle spaces and some fire protection. If you own fewer than 20 guns, the Kodiak KBX5522 or the XPEDITION 24-gun model will save money and floor space. However, this safe is not for a small apartment: it is 33 inches wide and weighs up to 470 pounds in the specs. Even so, if your collection keeps growing, buying the room now avoids a second purchase later. For a large rifle collection, this is the one to get.
