First post from a new member, so go easy on me. I am looking for a 30-36 gun safe/RSC. More to keep the kids away from my guns than anything else. I have gone through a ton of posts relating to fire effectiveness and how long it will take my neighbors kid to break into my safe with an orange peel, some chewing gum and a nine iron.
I'm not looking to store the crown jewels in this thing, but I'm also not naive enough to think it won't have to survive a break in attempt or 30 minutes in a fire. I have champagne tastes with an Old Milwaukee budget.
I have been to Gander Mountain and Cabelas, but wasn't too impressed with the offerings from Liberty. I have also been to a local safe store that carries both Amsec, which i like but can't afford, and a Superior Encore safe that the sales guy was really excited about and seemed to be a good vales. I have seen one or two people talk about Pioneer safes, but there isn't much info to be found and they only seem to be available on eBay and i would assume they are made in China.
Not totally against Chinese made, but would prefer to buy American if possible. I don't have the closet space to be able to reinforce anything and the safe will be in my basement accessible through a walkout, so stairs won't be an issue.
I would like to keep it around $1200 if at all possible and i have looked all over in Minnesota for a used one with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated regarding the safes i mentioned or any other ones you can recommended.
Thanks again.
