The M49 maintains the same width and long gun storage as the M49T, without the extra height needed for extra long barrels. This lower height profile, however, gives you more options for safe placement, such as in a bedroom closet.
Also, like well designed furniture, Browning ProSteel safes are built to be wider like a bureau instead of the more common "boxy" refrigerator like dimensions in other safes (26" exterior depth), allowing you to place the safe in any number of locations in your house without blocking off interior space. And given the elegant and clean stylings of the Medallion safes, these will add style to any room instead of just taking up space in a corner.
