We used to have a wall safe in our old home. It fit between the studs in the wall, so was only ~4" deep, no fire protection, just sheet steel, but it would slow folks down if they found it at all. I think it was only about 15-18" tall and as wide as the distance between 2 studs and and deep. They make a tall version for rifles.

They do make deeper wall safes, but obviously, you'd have to have the depth behind the wall to be able to do that.

I have a safe that's about 300#, and a real pain in the rear to move. It's like a tiny fridge, only 18-20" tall. It holds a fair amount of stuff, but not remotely the right size for rifles.

I have heard (here on the board) that gun safes are often not great at keeping people out because they often have a weakness that can be compromised. I assume you can spend enough to fix that.

There are actually a fair number of threads on home safes and long spoon safes on the board. You may want to do a search.
