Gun storage is something that comes up with increasing frequency in my house thanks to the way our firearms seem to multiply like rabbits. Efficient organizing is something else I, personally, attempt to carry out, and that certainly comes into play with storing firearms. There are quite a few safes out there from full-sized, fire-resistant uprights to smaller bedside options to truly small single-pistol safes. Each type has a use but the average safe doesn’t utilize a space so many of us tend to overlook when it comes to firearms storage (and I do not mean sliding your gun under the bed at night, a habit some have which we can discuss at a later date). New from Realtree is a safe that does just that: makes use of that unused space under your bed for locking away your guns.

The new safe is being referred to as exactly what it is: a Realtree gun safe. The company lists it as designed for under-the-bed, in the bed of your truck, or stacked one upon the other in your closet. For security it has both an electronic keypad and a rotary key lock with upgrades available to higher-grade locks. It’s relatively hefty at 185 pounds and is designed to last; according to Realtree this is the “last one you’ll ever need to buy.”

This looks like a durable option for stowing a few guns securely under your bed or, if you’re able, stacking them in your closet or gun room for even more storage space. The camo finish is a nice addition for hunters such as myself who have so much camo clothing and gear in their closets this safe would blend right in.

The Realtree gun safe is made for the company by the War Dog Safe Company. MSRP $2799. Take a look online at http://www.realtree.com/camo-products/realtree-gun-safes
