After years of using a Stack-On cabinet, & it looking like there are no reasonably priced chest options to put at the foot of my bed, I may as well buy a safe.
I don't need anything huge or insanely priced. Function over form.
I only have a few long guns and a few pistols. However, it would be nice to be able to fit some ammo cans and/or mags, etc in the safe as well.
I'm renting right now & do expect to move again next year so I am not looking for a 1,500 lb safe. I will have to find a company to deliver it to me upon purchase if whomever I buy from can't/won't. I do not have a few buddies to call on to help move it.
I'd prefer to put it on the 2nd floor, but that requires either going up the steps to front door then 2 sets of stairs to get it upstairs & who knows if the weight would be too much for the floor. So I guess I will put it in the basement. The basement is always pretty cool even when we have 100+ degree temps & high humidity.
I'd like to keep the price under $700, but may go up to $1,000 for something I find to be really nice & useful. Just b/c that's the budget I set, that doesn't mean I want to spend it all if I don't have to.
