[QUOTE="Deepwoods, post: 2865064, member: 40686"] I researched bear extensively and was on my way to OKC to purchase the model 6036. I luckily was able to visit the Armorvault store on my way. I never proceeded to the bear store. IMO, there was no need to. The Armorvault model 703 sold me at first glance. The bear 6036 has a 3/16 plate door and 10 gauge body. The Armorvault has 1/4 inch plate door and body. The bear 6036 has one lock, the armorvault has two. Although the bear does use two sheets of 3/4 inch sheet rock up against the 10 gauge body, the Armorvault uses two sheets of 5/8 sheet rock but has a 3/4 inch dead air space between it and the 1/4 inch body. The interior of the bear is particle board, armorvault uses a thin layer of steel. The Armorvault are hand built one at a time by Mark and Harold. Extremely nice and easy going guys. I personally would not use electronic locks, they eventually will fail. I've owned a combination lock safe for 20 years, I much prefer the dual keyed locks on my armorvault. Bear does make a heavier gauge safe, but out of the price range I was limited to. And armorvault does make a lighter gauge safe, but I was trying to compare apples to apples for my point. A person can spend any amount you want on a safe, I was just trying to get as much as I could for my money. I believe armorvault gave me that, more so than bear would have. [/QUOTE]
