Not 100% sure where it's going yet, but likely concrete floor and masonry wall. Otherwise concrete floor and wooden/plaster wall.

Put a bit of board between the back of the safe and the wall.and put ya bolts thru both the hoard and wall.

I also considered installing the safe long-wise horizontally above obstructions but might need some shelving within.

I mean, if you have the opportunity to do that you'd just use an angle grinder or the good old "wrench attack"...
The masonry wall I have downstairs has a horizontal line across the length of the wall that's supposed to be a "decoration" I guess. Getting rid of that would be a messy difficult task and cause the safe to stick out about 1cm from the rest of the wall.
150kg safe I feel is a waste of money as I want my handgun licence in future so it needs to be bolted in regardless.
I might just go with a plank behind the safe to be on the safe side.
I should add I plan on putting the bolts in the floor or both the floor and wall.
In NSW can I request an inspection before I come into possession of a rifle to make sure I tick all the boxes?
