Quick Answer: The Remington Nitro SAR6546N is the best all-around Remington gun safe — 46 long guns plus 8 handguns, a 90-minute/1,800°F fire rating, for around $3,380-$3,790. Buyers who need the longest fire window Remington sells should step up to the STS SAR6540S, rated 120 minutes at 1,800°F for around $3,950-$4,700. Budget-first shoppers should look at the Gun Club series instead — a 40-minute/1,500°F rating starting around $1,249.99 — while anyone chasing raw capacity over fire minutes should check the 84-gun Big Green series.
“Remington gun safe” draws 1,600 monthly searches, mostly from shoppers who’ve seen the name at Tractor Supply or a dealer site and assume it’s the same Remington that makes rifles and ammunition. It isn’t. SA Consumer Products — the manufacturer behind Sports Afield and Costco’s Sanctuary line, both already covered on this site — licensed the Remington brand from Remington Ammunition (a Vista Outdoor brand) in spring 2022 specifically for in-home secure storage, according to trade coverage from Shooting Illustrated and Outdoor Hub at the time. Remington’s gun-safe lineup is really SA Consumer Products’ own catalog sold under a licensed name, spanning four fire-rating tiers at four different price points. We compared them on fire rating, capacity, and price.
Remington gun safe lineup compared
| Series | Fire rating | Capacity range | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gun Club | 40 min / 1,500°F | 12-52 guns | ~$1,249.99-$2,199.99 |
| Express | 60 min / 1,650°F | 24-60 guns | ~$2,227-$2,800 |
| Big Green | 90 min / 1,650°F | 39-84 guns | ~$3,800-$4,750 |
| Nitro | 90 min / 1,800°F | 26-56 guns | ~$3,380-$4,130 |
| STS | 120 min / 1,800°F | 40 guns | ~$3,950-$4,700 |
Remington Nitro SAR6546N
- Sits in the middle of Remington's lineup on price but reaches a genuinely higher fire-test temperature (1,800°F) than the similarly-timed Big Green series (1,650°F) — the better buy if you want 90 minutes of protection against a hotter structure fire, not just 90 minutes against a milder one.
- CA DOJ approved per current retailer listings, and includes the same Securam UL-listed electronic keypad with key override used across the Gun Club and Express tiers below it.
- Rated waterproof for 7 days in up to 2 feet of standing water when bolted down, matching the rest of the Remington catalog.
Remington Gun Club series
- The lowest entry point into the Remington catalog — a 36-long-gun-plus-4-handgun SAR5936GC runs around $1,999-$2,199 at non-Tractor-Supply retailers, the same figure our own Tractor Supply roundup verified for its in-store SKU.
- Still CA DOJ approved and still carries the 7-day/2-foot waterproof rating — the budget tier doesn't drop the water protection, only the fire-rating minutes.
Remington STS SAR6540S
- Remington's flagship fire rating — 120 minutes at 1,800°F, a full half-hour longer than the Nitro series at the same 1,800°F test temperature.
- Marketed as the "Executive" tier, with a sage-green hammertone finish distinct from the gray and black options on the lower tiers.
The honesty check: one Remington, four fire ratings, and a manufacturer that isn’t Remington
The firearms maker Remington doesn’t build these safes. SA Consumer Products — already on this site as the company behind the Sports Afield brand and Costco’s Sanctuary line — licensed the Remington name from Remington Ammunition (a Vista Outdoor brand) in spring 2022, specifically to cover the in-home secure-storage category, per trade press coverage at the time from Shooting Illustrated and Outdoor Hub. That’s the same multi-brand pattern our best Sports Afield gun safe guide documents from the Sanctuary side — one manufacturer, several retail names, Remington’s licensed rather than house-built.
The naming trap here is the fire-rating ladder, not the brand name itself. All four series share the same waterproof rating (7 days, 2 feet of water, bolted down) and a similar Securam UL-listed electronic lock, so the real spec that changes under the Remington name is fire-rating minutes and test temperature: Gun Club (40 min/1,500°F) → Express (60 min/1,650°F) → Nitro (90 min/1,800°F) → STS (120 min/1,800°F). The Big Green series complicates a clean read of “90 minutes” specifically — it also claims 90 minutes, but only at 1,650°F, a full 150°F cooler than Nitro’s 90-minute claim. A shopper comparing two listings that both say “90-minute fire rating” could easily assume they’re buying the same protection when the test conditions behind that number are different.
We checked for safety recalls per our standard practice on this site: we found no CPSC recall on record for a Remington-branded gun safe specifically. SA Consumer Products, the manufacturer behind these safes, did have a real one under its Sports Afield and Sanctuary names — a June 2024 CPSC recall of roughly 133,370 small biometric quick-access handgun safes after 77 reports of the fingerprint lock opening for unauthorized users. That recall doesn’t carry over to Remington: none of the Gun Club, Express, Nitro, Big Green, or STS models use a biometric lock, every tier ships with the same keypad-and-key setup instead.
Which Remington series fits you
Start with Gun Club if a 40-minute fire window covers your risk tolerance and budget matters most — it’s still CA DOJ approved and still waterproof-rated, just shorter on fire minutes than the tiers above it. Step up to Nitro for the best balance of capacity, fire protection, and the hotter 1,800°F test temperature at a mid-high price. If the longest fire window under the Remington name is a requirement, the STS series is the only one that reaches 120 minutes. And if raw gun capacity matters more than fire-rating minutes, the 84-gun Big Green series holds more than any other Remington tier — just don’t assume its “90 minutes” matches Nitro’s 90 minutes at the same temperature.

Our best Sports Afield gun safe guide covers the Domain, Haven, and Journey lineup from the same company, and our Tractor Supply gun safe guide covers where Remington’s Gun Club line sits alongside Winchester and Liberty’s store-exclusive SKUs. Dunham’s Sports also stocks two Remington-branded safes — the Corlokt XXLR 60+8 and Long Range 48+8, both around $1,800 — see our Dunham’s gun safe guide for the full in-store lineup.

The bottom line
Remington’s safes are really SA Consumer Products’ catalog under a licensed name, and the real decision isn’t about the Remington badge — it’s which of four fire-rating tiers, and which test temperature behind a given minute count, you’re actually paying for. The Gun Club series gets you in the door cheaply with real CA DOJ compliance, Express and Nitro each buy more fire-rating minutes and a hotter test temperature at a real price step, and STS tops out the lineup at 120 minutes. For most buyers who want meaningful fire protection without STS-level pricing, the Nitro SAR6546N is the right starting point.
