If you rent your home, or will do a lot of moving around, look at a smaller safe. You can always get two or three of them, later.

I'd love to buy a 64-gun safe for $699. Cannon is a reputable maker. I think safes in the sub-$1500 range are all pretty much the same once you get past the basic steel box for $250. If you want the safe to protect documents during a house fire, forget that idea at this price point.

Bolt it down, and keep in the interior of the house, not against an exterior wall, and completely hidden from sight of casual visitors.
