As with most things, you get what you pay for - Barska Quick-Access Biometric Rifle Safe

wlwood's Review of Barska Quick-Access Biometric Rifle Safe
As a previous reviewer has indicated, this is not really a "safe." It is more of a thin-gauge steel, weapon lock box. If you don't secure it to the floor it can easily be picked up and carried away, weapons and all. The biometric lock is not fool-proof. I have all 8 fingers and both thumbs stored and it opens for me about 60% of the time first try. I have big hands too so its not a small print problem. Your fingers need to be placed just so. I rather think the issue must be in the simple matching algorithm used by the reader and lock controller. When it does work, the door unlocks in about 2-3 seconds.
It also makes a lot of noise when the door is being opened or closed normally. There is something in the door mechanism which swings back and forth clanging against the sheet steel panels and makes a racket. If you were trying to open this silently you better be slow and smooth otherwise everyone nearby will hear you.
It is also pretty small inside. The shelf cannot be adjusted up or down so long-barreled rifles may not fit well. An AR with a red dot installed will only fit sideways - the door will not close otherwise.
This "safe" can probably keep inquisitive young folks at bay, but it will not stop a determined thief.
Pros:
Inexpensive, easy to install, biometric lock
Cons:
Thin steel, noisy door, limited internal geometry, biometrics can be slow on access, will not stop determined thief
Best Used for:
Prevents casual access to a few firearms
Would Recommend:
Yes
