was trying to make them all fit. limited space in safe. can you stand them up on barrel and stock(alternate to make them fit)?
The idea has crossed my mind too. I'm running out of space. I'm using rifle rods (https://www.storemoreguns.com/rifle-rods-gun-rack-system/) and they work fine, but, sure, alternating stacking is the most efficient way. It'd be a pain to take stuff out and put it in every time, though
Just want to be sure you are not damaging the muzzle whether by hard surface scraping or wicking moisture, etc.
My rifles are in 3 gun racks on the wall, a stand up rack, in 3 glassed cases, hanging from hooks, or displayed on bipods. This is most of the SKSs. There's 35 in there. PAX

Before my great sell off, I took the stuff I didn't use much and put them in socks and alternated up and down.
That worked pretty well for me.
I dont want to sound this way but back in the day I had 3 safes. One just for pistols. One for C&R and one for my regular rifles and shotguns. 20yrs later I'm whittled down to one safe for all.
Luckily I'm able to stand them up on their buttplates.
While I have entertained the notion...I don't have any safes at all.
I make my own wall hangars with scrap pieces of 1x4 and 3/4" dowel pieces....and keep them all on display.
That way I can enjoy them the 99.999% of the time I am not firing them. It also prevents me from buying more guitars...I have very little wall space left. :)
I don't have small children over...very few friends who come all the way out here to visit, and folk who are offended by them even less. Our neighborhood is pretty crummy...but it's mostly conservative poor white trash who respect their neighbors, and also expect everyone to be well armed. If I lived elsewhere, I would likely be more likely to keep things under lock and key. Security cameras covering the entire property also lend some piece of mind, for those very rare occasions when someone isn't home.
It doesn't hurt to be scary looking...I was recently described as a 'biker-type' by one of my daughter's boyfriend's mothers. I guess my ancient Polaris and Kawasaki quads make me look tough. rofl
