Winchester Evolution Bow & Gun Safe with 90-Minute Fire Rating and Electronic Lock

$ 5,499.99
Winchester Evolution Bow & Gun Safe with 90-Minute Fire Rating and Electronic Lock

The Winchester Evolution Bow Safe is the flagship safe in Winchester's lineup for hunters who store both archery equipment and firearms. Two sliding grid panels inside the safe hang bows upright on hooks, so a compound bow or recurve doesn't have to lean against the wall or lie flat on a shelf; the same grid system can also hang additional firearms, slings, and gear. Behind the two sliding grids, the main compartment holds up to 30 long guns on 30 included GunStiXX plus a GunStiXX plate, and a 12-pocket door panel organizer handles handguns, documents, and smaller gear. The result is a single safe that stores a hunter's full inventory, bow and rifle together, in a dedicated secure footprint.

The Evolution Bow Safe is a serious piece of hardware. At 60 inches tall, 48 inches wide, and 30 inches deep, and weighing 1,518 pounds empty, the safe needs dedicated floor space in a basement, dedicated gun room, trophy room, hunting lodge, or finished garage. Plan for professional delivery and placement; this is a two-dolly, four-person job, and once it's positioned, use the pre-drilled anchor holes to bolt it to the floor during setup.

Fire protection is 90 minutes at 1400°F, and the right spec for a safe that will also hold documents, cash, electronics, and sentimental valuables alongside the bows and long guns. The Palusol heat-expanding door seal around the perimeter of each door expands when heated to seal the gap between the door and the body during a fire, cutting off the hot gas and smoke pathway that would otherwise degrade a standard rubber or foam seal under fire conditions. UL-rated fireboard protection is layered into the ceiling, walls, and both doors.

On construction, the Evolution Bow Safe is built from 12-gauge solid steel, with a 3/16-inch steel laser-cut door. Each of the two doors uses external solid steel barrel hinges and carries its own set of locking bolts: the right door has 11 active and 5 dead-locking bolts (16 total), and the left door has 6 active and 5 dead-locking bolts (11 total), for 27 solid-steel 1-inch bolts across both doors. The dead-locking bolts on each hinge side cannot be compromised in a burglary attack, which, combined with the double-door architecture, gives a wider pry-resistance envelope than a single-door design. The Evolution Bow Safe is UL Listed for burglary protection as a UL RSC (Residential Security Container), which is a tool-attack certification earned through Underwriters Laboratories testing. 

The lock is a UL Listed SecuRam electronic lock with a backlit keypad, the same commercial-grade lock Winchester uses on its Bandit, Ranger, and Legacy series. SecuRam is a well-established commercial safe-lock brand, and the backlit keypad is readable in the low ambient light of a basement or dedicated safe room where the Evolution Bow Safe typically lives.

Inside, the Evolution Bow Safe includes a motion-sensing LED light kit that lights the interior automatically when either door opens, a Power Docking System with one 110V outlet and one USB port for charging and powering electronics stored inside, an adjustable shelving system with auxiliary shelves, and a pull-up utility shelf that doubles as a workspace for inspecting a bow, cleaning a rifle, or working on a scope. Winchester also includes a dehumidifier with the safe, which handles condensation, rust, and mildew in basement or garage environments where the safe will typically live, without requiring you to buy a dehumidifier rod separately.

The Evolution Bow Safe ships in a Gray/Blue powder-coated finish and uses a 5-spoke chrome wheel handle, a premium touch over the single-lever handles on Winchester's budget and mid-tier lines. Winchester backs the Evolution Bow Safe with a Lifetime Limited Warranty plus a Lifetime Free Replacement Guarantee for both fire and burglary damage, which is the strongest warranty position Winchester offers across any series.

Winchester states the Evolution Bow Safe exceeds California DOJ requirements, which is the regulatory floor most firearms storage buyers care about.

If you have questions about the Evolution Bow Safe, planning delivery and placement for a 1,518-pound double-door safe, or how to configure the sliding bow grids and interior shelves for your specific collection, please call us at 800-207-2259.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is shipping really free?

Yes. Free delivery is included on every safe we sell, anywhere in the lower 48 states. The specific delivery method depends on the safe's weight: small package delivery for under 150 lbs, curbside, or garage delivery for heavier safes. See full shipping details →

How long will this take to arrive?

Shipping timelines vary by product. Check the availability status at the top of this page for the estimated ship date. Once shipped, transit time typically runs 5–10 business days, depending on your location. You'll receive tracking when the safe leaves the warehouse. Safes under 150 lbs ship via UPS or FedEx Ground, no appointment needed. Safes weighing 150 lbs or more ship via freight (LTL); the freight carrier will contact you directly to schedule a delivery appointment once the safe reaches your local terminal.

Can you deliver it inside my house and bolt it down?

We don't provide inside delivery directly, but we work with third-party installers across the country who do. Here's how it works: call us at 800-207-2259 for a recommendation in your area, and we'll provide the names and phone numbers of installers we've worked with. You contact the installer directly to arrange pricing for delivery and installation. Once you've agreed on a price, place your order with us using the installer's address as the shipping destination. The installer receives the safe, inspects it, and schedules your final delivery appointment. Some installers prefer to pick the safe up directly from the freight terminal. See inside delivery details →

Will this fit through my doorway?

Check the product's exterior dimensions (listed above) against your narrowest passage, interior doorways, stair landings, and tight turns. Most people remove the safe from the pallet before moving it indoors, so the safe's actual dimensions are what matter for doorways. Standard interior doorways (30–32" clear) accommodate most residential safes, but measure before ordering. Call us if you're uncertain. See where to locate your safe →


Can I change the combination myself?

Electronic locks: yes; it takes about 30 seconds. Instructions are included with your safe. Mechanical dial locks: no, changing a dial combination requires a licensed safe technician. Important: attempting to change a dial combination yourself (or having an unlicensed locksmith do it) voids the lock warranty. A licensed safe tech maintains the warranty. See lock operating instructions →

Note: Some mechanical pushbutton locks (like Simplex) can be changed by the user without a technician. Check your specific lock's instructions.

What if it arrives damaged?

Call us immediately — while you have 24 hours to report damage, calling right away gets the claim filed faster. Take photos of the damage and packaging before moving anything. For minor cosmetic damage, we typically send touch-up paint plus a partial refund. For significant damage, we send replacement parts or arrange a full replacement. Order Protection (optional at checkout) speeds refund payouts to 48–72 hours vs. 30–60 days through standard freight claims; replacement safes ship on the manufacturer's normal timeline regardless. See receiving your safe →

What's your return policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy on unused, in-original-condition products. The return freight for a heavy safe is substantial, so we strongly encourage you to call us before ordering if you're unsure about fit or configuration. See full return policy →

Can I place my order by phone?

Yes. Call us Monday–Friday, 8am–5pm Pacific at 800-207-2259. You have two options: we can take the full order by phone (we pause the call recording before you read your card number, so payment info is never stored), or we can build your order and email you a payable invoice link so you can enter your own payment details securely.
