    you bolt it to the floor not because of theft, but so it wont tip over.

      All my firearms are stored at a secure location. Some board members have been there too and can vouch for the security. I think pheux just went over not too long ago.

        No safe is a guarantee against a thief. If you give them enough time they can cut into your safe. A sawzall with metal cutting blades will get into 99 percent of all the safes out there in under an hour. Hence the house alarm.
        This, I used to move safes and I can move a loaded 36" Winchester safe by my self (I am a scronny 5'8" 160 lbs) easily with a Piano dolly and can drill most common gun safes in 15 minutes or less. It is a safety item. Not a guarantee, if someone wants it and knows what they are doing then they will get it. Impact drill, some Titan bolts and 10 minutes and you are just that much more secure

          Peer and beam house. Safe is bolted to some 4x4s I had put under the house to reenforce the floor. They want it, they'll cut the floor out.

              I have hardwood floors and thought about getting lag screws to secure it. The safe is in a tight closet so if they can't rock it forward, they shouldn't be able to get it out of the closet I'm thinking.

                  Mine was 800lbs empty. Now it's somewhere in the neighborhood of 1200lbs with guns and ammo. Still bolted down. Amazing how easy these things move when someone knows what they are doing.

                    Elvis.. i have to go through sideways

                    the issue i run into is the location i have to put the safe, bolting it in isnt an option.. right now the guns are in drawers and gun cases.. is it worth it to get a safe i cant bolt down? or is it not worth it over where they are now?

                          Mine is bolted to the floor, tied to a pack of angry badgers that are fed bloody red fleshy meat, behind a laser beam security system and encapsulated in a lead and concrete room with a vault door..

                            I was looking at Fort Knox safes but I am going to go with a real safe. 4500lb and will be anchored.
                            If you're looking for a safe that is so tough, the insurance companies will back it up for $500,000, you've come to the right place. With a 6" Thick Composite Door, 2 hours of Fire Protection and a UL TL-30X6 Rating, this AMSEC CFX703620 Made in USA High Security Composite Jewelry Safe is a Beast!

                              Most of the "safes" we all have are not even really considered safes by UL ratings. They are Residential Security Containers.

                                Mine is not very big, one determined fellow and a dolly could have moved it. The guys who delivered it offered to bolt it down for an extra 15$ since I don't have the right kind of drill to get into the slab so I had them do it.
