Need suggestion for gun cabinet

[joepa150]

I am looking for something lower priced that I can store my rifles and shotgun in. I do realize that for the price range I am looking in, it will be more of a gun storage cabinet than an actual safe that will keep out thieves. I just need it big enough to fit 5-10 longguns. I don't need it fire proof but that would be a plus. Max I will spend is $400.

If found this one on amazon for $179. It appears to be a step up from the green stack on cabinets which look like a 5 year old can break into.

Stack on that seems to be the lowest of the low end cabinets. This one I do not want to buy. http://www.midwayusa.com/viewProduct/default.aspx?productNumber=114219


Any other suggestions on what and where to buy a gun cabinet?

Please no lecturing about "if you can afford to buy guns, you should be able to afford to buy a high quality safe"

I have the stack on cabinet and i got it for 90 dollars at walmart, and its actually very well made and tough.
It is very easy to assemble just nuts and screws

Seems the stack-on meets all your stated needs.
1 storage only
2 number of guns
3 not fire proof
4 not theif proof
5 cheap
i have one and it is well made for what it is and has served me well for 10 + years

Do you have a Lowes home and garden store near to you? They have a Liberty 12 gun with 5 locking points for $399.99 or even less on sale.

Tractor Supply Center has some guns safes. Might be worth checking out.

I am still debating which one to get. It is down to these.

I like the lowes safe but it is the priciest. They all are not the greatest against theft BUT I feel the $89 Stack on is the easiest to break into while the others are going to be tougher.

Anyone know how much Gander Mountain would charge for Freight?

I was thinking about ordering the Stack On 10 gun safe for $229. They have free shipping but since it is oversized, there will be a undetermined freight charge. They want me to place an order and then they will let me know what the freight is once it gets ready to ship. I don't want to got through all that hassle to find out the total price. It may be more than Sports Authority which I would rather buy from since it is local but if I can save $50 online it would be great. Who knows, they may charge over $50 for freight!

If you get on Sports Authority's e-mail list, they will send you coupons. I just bought the Stack-On 8 gun cabinet using a coupon for 25% off their regular price of $120 (which was not a great price but cheaper than Cabela's).

If you have Academy Sports near you here is safe in your price range.

you probably own firearms that are worth more than the cost of a safe. why worry when you leave home about guns in a cabinet. my safe may get stolen but they are gonna have one helluva job ahead of them, big dolly, cutting torch, lots of strong bodies.

Thank you everyone for your help. I decided to buy this safe based on reviews and many recommendation on another forum.

Had it for 2 days so far. I love it and I am glad I decided to buy it. Lowes also gave me 10% off!

Quality and security far exceeds my expectations. Imo any thief that would try and rob my house will have a VERY tough time getting into this. Obviously a good thief would be able to but I doubt a thief of that caliber would even attempt to rob my house. It wouldn't be worth it to them to rob a house like mine.

I am also glad I didn't dish out more money on a bigger and more secure safe.

BTW how does the safe jaymac listed from Academy compare to mine? Would it have been better to get that one?

I have a cheap stack-on... big mistake. Stupid key won't turn. Locksmith couldn't rake it... basically i'm down to drilling the lock. Any other ideas?

Awesome. Great job Stack-On.

As I posted, I bought the Liberty safe for $397 minus 10% off so about $357. They had it on black friday for $297. I got a price adjustment plus the $39/10% off (they calculated it off the 397 ).

So I got the safe for $257 before tax!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
