Stack On and Sentry safes certainly fall within your budget, but I prefer safes that use UL rated locks. Some of these safes do not have a UL RSC rating, because the non rated locks that they use are easily bypassed.
Almost everything you're going to find in this price range will be Chinese. That in itself is not a problem, so long as you are looking closely at what you're planning on buying. Some Chinese safes are built better than others, just like US made safes.
Most of these safes will also use gypsum board for insulation. This will give you some protection, but do not take the manufacturers for their word and start storing irreplaceable items inside the safe. Same goes for burglary.
