Gun Safes

[Tazz]

Fort Knox Titan, one of the best safes on the market. The door on mine weighs more than most of the safes out there, the safe itself weighs 1860 lbs. and the door alone is over 700 lbs. The door is made where it's nearly impossible to drill through and it has internal hinges. Fire rating is very important too, if your house catches fire you want the best protection possible. Most safes are rated at 1200 degrees for 30 minutes, mine is rated at 1680 degrees for 90 minutes. Like others have said, the bigger the better and combination locks are the way to go, electronic locks can malfunction. Also get a document safe to go inside the main one to protect your deeds, titles, wills and other important papers.

This too, when you get a large safe you have more options for accessories to better organize.

I got a sentry 10 gun safe for Christmas last year. Now in market for a larger fire rated safe. Definently go larger than you think you need.

I bought a large gun safe off of Craigslist. You can find good deals there if you watch. I agree that you will outgrow whatever safe you get. I will say, however, that several standard size safes acquired over time is not a bad plan, either. Most standard gunsafes can be moved fairly easily - large safes can be a real pain to move.

I bought i Red head from Bass Pro because I got a steal of a deal and from what I understand its made by the same people that make the Browning ones. I also have the combo lock not a big fan of the digital ones. If your a member of costco sometimes the have a really nice one on sale.

I have a sturdy safe, I would recommend adding them to your list: http://www.sturdysafe.com/. You end up paying for the quality of the lock, the thickness of the steel, and their advertising budget. For what I decided I wanted (basically, thicker than normal steel--7 gauge) they had by far the best prices.

If you know how to move one it's not that hard. When I had new carpet put in my house me and a buddy moved mine with no problem, it weighs 1860 lbs. with nothing in it and we moved it fully loaded weighing in excess of 2100 lbs. I'm not going to say on an open forum how to do it though.
