Oh man I was in the middle of writing a detailed response with links and all kinds of info . I then accidentally closed the tab

Anyways to make it short now that I've wasted about 15Min .

The Winchester safe has a 10 gage body while the Liberty is 11 gage

The Winchester has an added 1/4" steel plating in the door that the liberty does not and is likely the biggest single difference in the two weights

The Winchester has almost double the fire rating , meaning more insulation .

All three of those add weight to the safe . IMHO if the two safes are the same size and price . The Winchester should be the better safe by far .

This was me looking up what I believe to be the two safes you listed . To do a more apples to apples look see . We need links to both safes .

FWIW , I've been doing A LOT of research on safes the last three weeks . I'm going to be buying one in the next month or so . Before researching my budget was $700 after researching it's now $2500

Here are the two I've narrowed my list to but am willing to look at others if they come along
