at a good price. im frugal not fancy/bragger. it needs to be rather small, like a 10 or 14 gun safe. im looking through amazon right now. most have free shipping on the safes!

so whats a decent brand for someone on a budget around $300 or $400? it can't be more than 20" deep. thats really a bit too much.

i only have 3 rifles, couple handguns, and some ammo that are kinda worthy of a good safe.

In your price range you might want to look around in craigs list or something for a used safe. But for a few dollars more if you can purchase from COSTCO might I suggest

I don't know of much you can get with your price range other than a lockable box from stackon available at most Wal Marts.

Just remember, a fire "safe" is a lockable compartment that can withstand being in a fire for a specific amount of time without damage to the contents.

A fire safe is not a burglary safe, and it will never stand up to a burglar. I am sure you already know that.

This is a burglary safe.
