Brattonsound RD7+ door
If some kind soul has a Brattonsound RD7+, would they mind measuring the door opening height for me please? I'm thinking one of these might make a good replacement for my existing safe, but wonder if my Swing with extended stock will fit in, needs 1.28m minimum.
Many thanks
Many thanks
Careful now/that sort of thing

Hi shugie,
The door opening is 1.25 on my RD7+ with overall outside size of 1.30 my Musgrave fits in at an angle through the door. Hope this is of help.

Re: Brattonsound RD7+ door
It is indeed, trying to get a long rifle at an angle into a packed cabinet is frustrating, so I think I'll look for something a tad taller. Thanks for the information.bnz41 wrote:Hi shugie,

Hi Shugie.
You could have a look at the MT7+ as its 1515 mm tall, the only drawback is it isn't as deep so scoped rifles have to be stacked on the slant!

I can't think of any cabinet that will take scoped rifles without them being somewhat askew...

You may be right, and I may be pursuing the unobtainable!meles meles wrote:I can't think of any cabinet that will take scoped rifles without them being somewhat askew...

Depending how much space you have I looked at a 18 gun buffalo river safe, the guy put a 32" Palma rifle straight in. It's more of a bank vault than a safe though

The MT9+ has the same footprint as the RD7+ but is 207mm taller. It is 407 wide and 346 deep - the MT7+ is only 271 deep. At 1.515m tall it meets your needs for length and if the MT7+ was just a little short but deep enough then the MT9+ should be fine.
The MT9+ is the same as the RL7+ but without the top box and a 9 gun foam insert in place of the 7.
Brattonsound ARE accommodating and will supply any standard outer cabinet with insides to your requirement - sometimes at a cost and other times without.

Re: Brattonsound RD7+ door
I've got the MT9 plenty of height, but 5 scoped rifles is as much as it comfortably holds, without risking scratches and dings
