Looking for a gun safe

[Taylor]

I'm looking for a gun safe, something that can hold 10 or so long rifles and 3-5 pistols with room for a fair amount of ammunition. I'm also looking for something of decent quality and at a fair price. I'm not looking for the cadillac, bells and whistles $2k safe.

What would you recommend? TIA.

I'm willing to help out if you're patient. Amsec models predominantly
Our Houston warehouse stocks more than Dallas and they don't typically stock transfer for a sale.

Get ready for the flaming, but Costco...

I have one of their safes, and it was like $699 delivered. It is about 5 feet tall, 4 feet wide, and 2-2.5 feet deep. I have lots of toys in it and room for more. It's bolted to the foundation and does what I need it to do. No, it isn't the protection of a high end safe, but the price was right.

I'm in the same boat. Trying to avoid going too crazy with it but I don't want to settle for a stack on gun locker.

Canon is a great safe for the money if you are looking for ok fire protection or someting to stop a smash and grab robbery. I would love to have more high end safes, but I couldnt justify it when I bought them. Even the best safe can be broken into if someone knows how and wants to. Fort Knox keeps armed guards around for a reason.

Wait for cabelas to have a sale, apply for card, spend $2k or more and get 0%. Don't be cheap. You'll only be disappointed.

Here's the one I have from Costco. They'll run it on sale for a few hundred less with free delivery.

Anyone deal in Liberty safes on here?

[8mpg]

Any other decent safe dealers around? Im going to hit up BeesKeys in Dallas on Friday after my work meeting. They sell Ft Knox which is a good brand. Im looking to buy a nicer safe (not Cabelas/Costco/etc). Ft Knox, Amsec, Liberty?, Browning Prosteel?

I ended up with the Amsec Bf with 4ga liner in a gloss finish. I got mine from Thesafeplace.com

I spent a good portion of the day eduacating myself about safes. I've come to realize that I want a bare minimum fire rating of 30 minutes, 18-24 long gun capacity (seems to be a common denominator in configurations) and a mechanical dial lock. I think I've found what I want at Cabelas here : http://www.cabelas.com/product/shoot..._SEQ_104369580

Liberty has a very good reputation, and their pry test video on Youtube pretty much sold me on their locking technology.

I'll give them a look.

I'll take a look at the Amsec line and see what I can find that meets my criteria.

I read some pretty bad stuff about those, decided to cross the Costco stuff off the list.

I don't have quite enough cowskin rugs to require a safe of such magnitude.

Anyone deal in Liberty safes on here?

Liberty is what I've got my eye on... my one good eye thatis.

There are 2-3 other threads about this on the forum where people have put out a lot of opinions. Recommend finding and reading those threads.

I went the Costco route, have it for about 6 years now and don't regret it. We each have to be comfortable with our choice though. Those other threads talk about features, weaknesses and such.
