Small gun safe.

privateside · June 6, 2013, 11:47 AM

Hi all. I have been meaning to buy a gun safe for several years and finally have the capitol I need. I'm looking for a safe to hold roughly 8-10 long guns and a number of handguns. Fire rating is not yet my goal so much as I don't want anything stolen while I'm away. Any suggestions? Any names to avoid?

I have 3 Liberty's and a Browning and I like both brands. Get the largest one you can afford as they will fill up faster than you think.

I am very happy with my Cannon safe. 10+ years later I see I should have got the larger one

As others have mentioned if your wanting to keep 10-24 guns on it , get one that is for 36-48. They fill up fast and usually more than guns end up in them too.

I was in the same situation was had benn using a glass front cabinet and my closet for about 20 years. Iwas in a Tractor Supply store and saw a Winchester 12 gun safe on sale. It's perfact and I can cram several more in and the shelf holds my handguns plus other valuables. Heavy duty steel,welded,comination and vault type wheel, three 3/4 inch lugs.Fabric lined also,which keeps the safe rash (nicks and dings 0 down.It weighs in at around 200lbs I think, so get your son in law to man handle it...I did!
