Need a safe, suggestions?

[bottlerocket]

Well once I PCS to NAS Pensacola, all of my weapons will either need to be trigger locked or kept in a safe and stored separately from ammo.

I am trying to find a nice starter safe as my collection isn't huge yet. Just something for about 6 rifles and maybe 4 handguns to plan ahead just a bit. Anyone have experience with the Cabela's brand safes? Or would I be better off going with a name brand one? I want to try to pick it up locally before the move since I get paid based on the weight of my household goods I move

I like my crappy 8-gun steel cabinet. It was about $130 at Cabelas.

who makes those safes for cabelas? i thought century made them.

It depends on your budget. For lining the walls of your garage you can't buy Ft Knox safes unless you a loaded with cash. For the money you really can't beat the Century safes that you can get at Academy. Make sure to get one with a digital combo as turning the dial gets old real fast.

Not sure how much you're looking to spend but Costco actually sells some nice gun safes.

Yup, they sell the absolute best bang for the buck. I recently sold one for 250 more then I paid for it and upgraded to a much bigger safe.

The same safes at other places can be 40-70% more.

Buying a safe is like buying a house.

Get the biggest, baddest mother fukker you can.

When I bought my safe (6' tall, 40" wide, 30" deep) I thought I'd never come close to filling it.

Now I have guns that I can't fit in the safe and need another one.

I think its Cannon

Id like to keep it ~600 if thats even possible. If its not, I can come up with the money of course, but that is what I'd like to spend. There is no REAL threat of these being stolen as it is a military base, but I have to have them in one. Later on when I become a homeowner I will definitely look into one of the ~$1500+ safes for my guns as well as other important items. But as for right now its just a handful of rifles and pistols.

I think last time I was at Costco they had a nice 550 lb Winchester safe for around that price. They also have some they sell online.

That one looks really small. It does have the external hinges that I like, which allows the door to be opened further.

I don't personally like dial combinations though, I prefer the electronic ones just for ease of use.

Looks like the one Costco had. I checked it out and looks pretty good. If you can get it for half what that website lists it at then that's comparable to their prices too.

Is it in-store only? because all i am seeing on their site are either more expensive, or they are the same price but much smaller.
