[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4112394, member: 45773"] What's your budget? I gotta say, if you're protecting life's memories, I'd buy the best safe you can afford. It doesn't make a lot of sense to trust an $800 safe to secure a gun collection or other valuables worth 5 or 10 times that much. But, if that's what you can afford then I understand that, too. I have one of those. It's a Liberty I bought a few years ago from Tractor Supply. Big, roomy safe for like 50-ish guns. But, yeah...the good stuff doesn't live in it. It's much bigger than the AmSec safe I have and weighs half as much with a really flimsy interior. Personally, I think the American Security burglary/fire rated safes are some of the best, but they're very expensive. I have one that's roughly 60"Hx30"Wx27"D I bought used (like new) for $900. The same safe new is about $6000. I was just lucky my buddy couldn't get it out of his house and was in a rush to sell it when his house sold. Of course, I also bought it several years ago. But these are nothing like the Tractor Supply or Atwoods or other big box models. Mine weighs almost 1200 lbs empty. I hate shopping for safes because I'd rather spend the money on guns. But it's a necessary cost of having the hobby. One other thing...almost all of the lower end, budget safes are made in China. That was a definite deal killer for me. [/QUOTE]
