Wall mounted trigger lock

Can anybody recommend a compliant wall or floor mounted trigger lock to secure a single rifle securely?
 
A quick Google revealed this which was in the back of my mind. However, it says "in the cabinet" and I'll doubt it'll be acceptable for anything permanently on its own except for a deactivated weapon.

I've got three of those locks for mounting antique muzzle loaders on the wall. For use as a security lock they would be about as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
 
With the bolt removed the rifle is useless anyway, so could you perhaps use a steel cable through the action and anchor that to the wall with a ringbolt and padlock? A small safe hidden away elsewhere for the bolt, and that should surely satisfy the security requirements 🤔

it does say for shotgun OP is for a single rifle. I can’t imagine a FEO going for one either, you could probably have it in bits with a battery Dremel

Those locks are first class micky mouse locks they would take about ten seconds to open with a screwdriver. They are good for displaying non licence firearms but would never pass UK or Swedish firearm security requirements.

Look the type of thing some shops used for displaying shotguns.
 
Surely you could just remove the two screws securing the bottom metal and be away with the rifle in no time. And considering that polymers are now used by some manufacturers you could just break the trigger guard with a screwdriver.
 
They are great as a secondary security measure where firearms can be displayed inside a secure room, or temporarily at shows etc.
They are easy to defeat/pick, I have about 50 of these - there are only two key profiles among them all, they are only as good as the anchors in the wall and you won't be able to get very large screws before the bracket becomes the weakest part.

But great to display non-licensed weapons or firearms within a shop.

I have a few left over from a job lot I bought. If you want one pm me.
 
I have found the clamp although the keys have been misplaced....another wish that people would leave things alone in this ****ing house that don't concern them...but I can take some pictures later so you have an idea. If it works I will make an effort to find the keys. Is the rifle fitted with a 'scope? If so is the ;scope removable? Or is it iron sighted?

Thanks @enfieldspares
There’s no scope. Cheers
