In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

The problem is, of course, that no sort of filler or angle iron would ever cause more than a slight inconvenience to someone wanting to jemmy the cabinet off the wall. Most of my cabinets are bolted into brick walls, but they'd still take seconds to get off with a big enough bar.

The Police just need to acknowledge that "reasonable security" means having the firearms in a locked cupboard/cabinet that will prevent a casual sneak-thief from picking them up.

On my last inspection, I happened to have one cabinet detached from the wall, as I was in the process of moving it elsewhere. Not a problem for the FEO, but anyway I said "try and steal it". It was a Brattansound 12-gun cabinet with about 18 rifles in it. He couldn't even get a grip on one end of it, let alone lift it off the floor...

agreed
The deterrent is for the opportunist thief, a determined thief with a bit of time and the right equipment will defeat most gun cabinets and fixing systems.

so stick with the caulk and paint, if nothing else it will look nice.
What is a Sapper? This versatile genius condenses the whole system of military engineering and all that is useful and practical. He is a man of all work of the Army and the public ready to do anything or go anywhere, in short, he is a Sapper.
