Barska Rifle Cabinet Review
I recently had the chance to try out the Barska Biometric Rifle Cabinet. This is a great gun safe for those who want the convenience of a biometric lock but don’t want to sacrifice security.
If you’re only needing to store 1 or 2 rifles this is all you’ll need. The specs indicate that you can store 4 rifles in this safe, which is true, but if you have optics or scopes mounted on your firearm you’re not going to get all 4 in this safe. Barska also have options that allow for larger storage – the AX1170 model has 16 rifle storage positions, so there’s other models that you also might be interested in.
The cabinet is made of thick steel and has a robust locking mechanism. The biometric lock is quick and easy to use, and it worked flawlessly during my testing which is testament to Barska giving you 120 fingerprint storage options. This allows you to store multiple versions of all of your fingers, so if you press the fingerprint reader at a slightly different angle, you’ll still be able to gain access.
The interior of the cabinet seems spacious and well-organized. Although as mentioned above the specs state that it has room for 4 rifles, ammunition, and other gear although, in reality, you’ll most probably use this for only 2 rifles comfortably. If you’re looking for more capacity this safe wouldn’t be for you.
Overall, if you’re only storing 1 or 2 rifles, the Barska Biometric Rifle Cabinet is an excellent choice for those looking for a high-quality steel gun safe.
