Vertical Gun Rack - STOC-LOC?

[MRM]

I have several rifles in need of good storage method to keep them clean and secure from kids. I was looking at the STOC-LOC system from Pintaro Manufacturing. Anybody used this system? Does anyone know of any alternatives? I really do not want a heavy gun safe.

I do NOT have such but looked into them.

FOr an avg of $60 per gun, I found them to pricey for the amount of long guns I own. Figuring say 50 long guns, a person would be paying about $3000 at least. The guns would be exposed to those coming in the home and that is also risky. A person can spend half that much for a more secure storage system such as a lighter safe that would hold more.

If someone only has three long guns, the STOC-LOCKmight be ok.

Thanks. I currently only have 3 guns but plan to eventually own about 6. So, I am hoping the STOC-LOC will do. Their website is not extremely informative so I sent them a list of questions. I was hoping to find someone who owns this product or a similar product that works well.

The first picture of the Stoc-Loc shown on their web page shows how I think most people would mount this item, on a door or possibly a sheetrock wall. I see a MAJOR problem with this setup. The firearm is only as secure as the door or sheetrock is strong. The second and third pictures show it mounted to what looks like the wall of a log cabin. This definitely looks to be a stronger, more secure mounting position than a door or sheetrock, but I would bet most of us don't live in a log cabin. I would think mounting it on a door would not be secure as most interior doors are hollow core and do not have security hinges. Mounting it to sheetrock, it could easily be pulled from the mounting surface with a large screw driver/prybar even if screwed/bolted into the studs. I guess this would be about 1/3 the cost of buying an entry level safe and a little more secure than sticking them in the corner of a closet.
