Very nice safe. It arrived before time and was packaged in a sturdy box. Very easy to setup and install. Once I registered for the warranty I was offered a surprise gift. Alan from CS is very responsive and the gift turned out to be the door panel organizer. Overall Im very pleased with the product and Customer Service. Beautiful and Sturdy.
Im a first/time buyer of a gun safe. This arrived yesterday, and seems to be sturdy, well/built, and effective for the purpose. Its light enough that I could carry it by myself (100 lbs), which was important for getting it into the room where I want to keep it. My collection is small, so its a perfectly sufficient space for what I need.
I found the instructions around setting up the fingerprint sensor to be slightly confusing at first, but got it working within a few minutes. It doesnt seem to be quite as sensitive or sophisticated as, say, the sensor on my 4/year/old smart phone, but it gets the job done. Note that its important to set up at least one fingerprint, or any will work.
The cover for the battery compartment seems a little flimsy, but thats fine; hopefully I wont have to open it more than every few months. I havent used it yet to the point where the batteries died, but theres a separate battery container (keep OUTSIDE the safe!) that can be used if they die completely.
Finally / the door rattles very slightly. Im going to add a bit of felt to the inside to make sure bumping the safe doesnt make a lot of noise (as it does now).
Overall, very pleased with it! It works.
To preface this product review, Id like to make clear two critical admissions for your consideration:
1) Im a new gun user with less than a few hours of training with live ammo and well under 100 hours of dry firing practice; currently, I simply own a single long rifle and two handguns.
2) I was offered, and I accepted, a free door panel organizer from Moutecs gun safe service team (which Ive not yet installed at the time of this writing because of liness). I wasnt required to write a review (let alone a positive one) for this, but I did so anyway purely out of friendly reciprocation and not because I was obligated to. Nevertheless, take my word with a grain of salt if you will and take heed only if they make sense to you.
Simply put, I purchased this long rifle safe as a starter for the due diligence that comes with owning and operating my first rifle, a budget/friendly PA/15. Going along with this mindset of being a responsible, budget/conscious gun owner, I knew exactly what I wanted while doing my initial cursory research on long gun safes: Under 500 USD, very tight space constraints (as you can see from my pics), and REASONABLY secure.
After a few hours of light analysis and deliberation, my decision came down to either of Moutecs long rifle safes, with or without the biometric scanner; I opted for the former only because the final cost difference became negligible after taxes and shipping fees. In the end, I got exactly what I wanted while being roughly 20 under my budget. Suffice to say, I am quite satisfied, and heres why.
Having been dropped off at the front of my garage, fully assembled, this 100+ lb Moutec safe was more than a chore to haul into my room; which gave me confidence that a prospective thief would have a similarly difficult time trying to lug it out, failing to crack what I presume to be a decent lock (to anyone that doesnt already specialize in breaking locks anyway).
The safe fits my exacting space requirements and it simply needs to be bolted to the wall to prevent tipping over, as the majority of the overall weight comes from the sturdy door. The insides are pretty self/explanatory from the pictures and it benefits greatly from installing a cheap LED motion sensor cabinet light you can easily search for online.
For the price that I paid for Moutecs long rifle safe I got exactly what I was looking for: A compact safe that strongly deters both lock picking and forcible entry/carrying away at what I consider to be a reasonable price. Obviously, there are other good alternatives out there, but Id be surprised if I missed something CONSIDERABLY better in the 500 or under range.
If most of my talking points make sense and you happen to agree with them, then go ahead and buy this safe with confidence, the same level of confidence I now have with securing my first long rifle. Works well.
First time gun safe buyer. Was looking for something that was semi sturdy but quick to access. Nothing to expensive. This Moutec has done the job. Great size was able to fit 5 rifles, a handgun, 6 magines and some ammo in the main part. Top part has plenty of room. Able to fit a handgun, papers and my metals up there with a lot of room still to fill. Had no problem fixing to the wall. Fingerprint has worked great thus far. Instructions are pretty straight forward. Nothing difficult about it. This a great safe for the cost. Perfect.
This safe is a very good value for the money, i wish the sides were thicker if only for peace of mind. I could have used a little more width to store ammo Cute.
This product does well for the price and came with clear instructions on installation and setup. Shipping went well and the product was properly padded for transport, mine came with no damage, cosmetic or otherwise.
It is a little top heavy and mounting is a must, be careful with the bolts as the locking pin that anchors everything into place can fall inside the wall, like mine did.
Be sure to register a thumbprint or any will unlock it.
The steel is thick enough to stop an average thief and is a good size for the average homeowner, and is small enough to be mounted in a closet out of sight.
There is a slight gap between the door that I wish was tighter but it would still take someone a bit of time to break it open with generic tools.
The customer support with the company is also great to work with and were very helpful. It was easy.
This is a really great safe with tons of space and three different secure ways to open. I easily configured both my and my wifes fingerprints for several features. I is sturdy and heavy and love the door hanger organizer which is an add/on Great value. Very sturdy.

Easy to operate and I feel my guns are safe.
Nice and sturdy safe and relatively easy to get into my basement. Bought it for some shotguns and it works great. Good Product.

Good for the value
Safe is overall solid and sturdy. Finger print reader is kind of sensitive. It suits my needs to secure my forearms. Easy set up.
Good Value for the price
This safe is a very good value for the money, i wish the sides were thicker if only for peace of mind. I could have used a little more width to store ammo Cute.
Nice
Nice safe, just wished they had very clear instructions on the fingerprint scanner. He loves it.
