Since getting a M1 Garand from the CMP last spring I have been thinking it has been time to go and invest in some sort of gun safe. We currently have 7 weapons of various types including military rifles, shotguns and .22 rifles. I have talked to some of the different safe salesmen at the stores around town (Champion, Browning, Stack On) from other distributors(Ft Knox, Amsec) and researched on the internet. I have looked at some of the discussions on this forum specifically by a1abdj and CB900F but wanted to put a post with my specific situation.
I think I am looking for something that can store both weapons and documents(the girl from the local champion safe place recommended getting a firebox to go inside the safe for documents). Ive watched my budget had grow from $400 to 2k+ since I started looking at $400 sentry RSC, then went to the Sam's Winchester Safe for $650, to the $1000 Browning Bronze and the $1900 Browning Medallion series safes, and priced the fort knox protector series at ~2400. Money wise I am willing to pay for something good since security and fireproofing, not money are my major concerns yet I don't want to go over 3 grand total. I am looking for one would be pretty much a plain Jane safe (I don't mind the high gloss, just don't like the extra $200 to get it) I would think a safe in the 20-30 sq ft range (though I would consider a 40 sqft depending on the price) would be the right size. I like the external hinges and would prefer a rotating lock. I'm partial to seeing an example of before I buy anything. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to get a good deal for the money.
