Gunsafes?

[spclark]

Just completed an uproot'n'move after 36 years, don't want to pay to haul old safe to new abode.

What brands of safes commonly available are reliable & a good value for the money?

Maybe more important is what brand(s) are to be avoided?

I need a biggie, make no mistake. Current box is 800+ pounds empty....

I'm pretty happy with the Sturdy safe I just bought. With upgraded steel and fire lining, it's pushing 1500 lbs, empty. I also had a smaller AMSEC BF6030 that I sold, that I liked as well. But in terms of bang for your buck, I think it's tough to beat Sturdy.

I dont know if you have a harbor freight near you.
Try their safe. A lock only keeps a honest person honest.

Based on your post, you've got experience with purchasing a safe so the caveats of relying on "it holds 20 guns" as gospel don't need to be covered. I own a SentrySafe and, except for it's size, I like it very much. In my state there are certain basic requirements for gun safes and the Sentry design meets them all. I also like the Winchester Safes Silverado Premier 23 Fire-Safe.

I'm sure their reviews are unbiased and unaffected by their advertisers. 8)

Amazing what a search (e.g. Google) will turn up.

I have had several, I just bought a Ft Knox and I love it. Great workmanship 45 min fire rating. Take a look at one in person.

I have a Ft Knox and it is very nice. Lots of options with the partitions and shelves. Nobody is running off with this safe @ 1200 lbs.

At any rate, if I bought another, it would have numbers, not a danged dial whereby if you go past your numbers by just a bit, you have to start over ! Irritating...
Also...I put mine in my garage and built a box around it with large lettering...DANGER ! FLAMABLES. GAS AND PAINT ! ( with a padlock as well)
I also installed a device that stays plugged in year round for moisture.

I've got a Liberty but wish I had one of these. The only scuffs I've put on my rifles have came from getting them in and out of my safe.

What about "Cabela's" safes? Are they in the top choices?

 

[doc gordon]

tractor supply has best prices I've seen !!!

I have two safes by Security Products and my only complaint is that they are too small......outgrew them, lol! Buy as much safe as you can afford! Bigger is definitely better. I want/need another.....

I like the recessed locking arrangement, most that see mine don't understand how they open - takes me just a few seconds. Security Products worked with me - the 2nd safe was bought a few years after the 1st one and they are both keyed to the same key.

Build a walk in and add a brown vault door.
