Description
The 6030EL combines a keypad-operated lock with a substantial steel body and locking bolts around the door. It is the original 6030EL configuration identified in this listing; specifications for newer 6030ELX or similarly named Bighorn safes should not be substituted.
A nominal 26-slot layout provides organized long-gun storage, with usable space depending on the size and configuration of the items stored. Plan the interior around actual firearms, optics and accessories instead of treating the maximum slot count as a guarantee that every collection will fit.
Features
- Electronic entry: keypad-operated lock; confirm the fitted lock model for its exact instructions.
- Steel body: 3 mm body steel stated in the supplied catalog.
- Four-sided bolt coverage: ten 1.25 in locking bolts, described as seven active and three dead bolts.
- Lock protection: catalog-listed hardplate and relocking protection.
- Heavy construction: approximately 700 lb listed weight.
- Nominal 26-slot storage: capacity varies with firearm dimensions and added accessories.

Plan the route before delivery
This product's listed weight is a handling requirement, not an invitation to move it without suitable equipment. Keep the door secured as directed during installation and keep children away from the work area.
| Entry route | Obtain current external and packaged dimensions, including handle projection. |
|---|---|
| Heavy-load handling | Arrange qualified movers and assess stairs, thresholds and tight turns. |
| Final location | Confirm that the floor and installation surface are appropriate for the loaded safe. |
| Anchoring | Follow the matching Bighorn installation instructions and assess the surface before drilling. |
Set up the lock with the correct manual
Bighorn documentation covers more than one electronic-lock brand. Identify the actual keypad before setting a code or replacing its battery. Test normal opening and locking with the door open as instructed, and keep the serial number and proof of purchase separately from the safe.

Common questions
Will it hold 26 scoped rifles?
The 26 figure is a nominal slot count. Scopes, wide stocks and other attachments can reduce the usable capacity; plan around the actual items you intend to store.
Is the 6030EL the same as the 6030ELX?
No model interchangeability is established. Use 6030EL specifications and the labels on the supplied unit.
Does a fire rating make the contents fireproof?
No safe should be treated as a guarantee against every fire. The stated time and temperature describe an advertised test condition, not unlimited protection.
Are inside placement and installation included?
Those services are not established by this description. Confirm the delivery point, moving service and installation arrangements before ordering.
