Whats a good gun safe?

wover98 · February 22, 2010, 07:20 PM

What type of safe would be the best bang for the buck? I am looking for one to hold around 20 long guns, maybe a few handguns on the door or a shelf. I want to store important papers as well so it needs to be a good fire rated one. I do not believe in buying a "Name" just because its a name. I need the best thing for the dollar.

Thanks
Will

Most prices depend on the quality of the safe, the lock and whether or not you want to get a fire proof safe. I would recommend checking out the Stack-On brand, they have a lot to offer, for decent prices in most cases. The best idea is to look in your local ads and check them out first hand. Gander (that is right I said it) has an excellent selection on hand. You should shop around to see if you can find a price...and if you do, see if Gander will match that price if that is more convenient distance wise.

For the inside door pistol holders, you can get quite a few products online, for instance: http://www.deansafe.com/gun-safe-accessories.html

Good luck deciding what you want.

I recently bought an Armory gun safe. It is not a name brand safe but it is rated for 30 - 45 minutes at 1200F, holds 24 long guns, has a top shelf, has a dial (which I prefer) and price out the door was @ $650.
