Try putting some in barrel down, this helps in fitting more in.
Works for me !!!
Eek! I'd never store a gun resting on the muzzle.
===================================
My gun safes are carpetted and have an extra layer of soft rubber matting on floor = no problem.
However, if your safe is CHEAP with no protection, I would not use at all !!!

With creative "leaning" (guns at an angle along the side/back walls), besides removing all the shelving except for a full-width shelf 6" from the top/roof, I easily fit 30 rifles into my "22-gun" Cannon safe, including their scopes & bolts (the BA rifles have their bolts open/back) - and none touch each other (barely).
NO slings allowed, though.............
My Cannon's interior, however, has an open front to the two sets of rifle racks/rests, and not the closed front/bar that many safes have, that require tilting the rifle to get it out - IMO setting up an easy hit on it's neighbor.
One half of the top shelf's for important family papers; the other half's for handguns (8 at present).
The bottom of the safe, betwixt the rifle butts, has room for a Golden Rod dehumidifier on one side & a loose scope or three on the other.

Aside from the creative storage methods mentioned above (especially the very effective muzzle up/down technique), I'll let you in on a little known secret.
It doesn't matter what the manufacturer says the safe will hold. Two safes, from two different manufacturers, with the same internal dimensions, will hold the same amount of guns.
All of the manufacturers install their interiors, count the slots, and claim that as the capacity. The problem is that 1 slot won't always hold one gun. However, 10 cubic feet will always hold 10 cubic feet. When comparing capacities, disregard the number of slots, and look at the internal volume.

I keep mine in a gun room that is made from a walk-in box. Not impossible to get into, but it sure would take a lot of time and effort to get there. Insurance company considers it to be sufficient.
