Hey all, to those contemplating a medium sized gun RSC (safe), I've followed this subject for a while. I joined Sam's club about a year or so ago, thinking I might buy their:
Winchester Safe WL6030:
http://www.granitesafe.com/winchester.html
But as soon as I joined, that safe was gone, and was replaced w/ this one...
I ended up getting the Silverado Safe which is a step up from the Winchester model S6030in gloss black:
http://www.granitesafe.com/silveradosafes.html
So prior to getting this one, I called Granite and asked if I could get the WL6030 anywhere else, which used to sell for around $580-$600, because Sam's wanted $800-$900 for the replacement S series unit, but they said that most Sam's bought this one now, and didn't know where I could get the old WL, and calling Sam's didn't help either.
A few months ago, I noticed a new Winchester showing up at some Sam's but it was a bit smaller, I think it was the WL 6026, but my closest Sam's only had the $800 S series.
Yesterday, I went into the local Sam's and saw the S6030, the more expensive one, was selling for $560, same safe, just a lower price for some reason. Don't know if they're on sale, on close out, or what. Guy said they were selling at $800, so he said they're gonna be gone quick at $560.
I found that searching their site is not accurate for stock items like this. This store had 2 in stock, and has had at least one in stock for a year, but many time the website shows none in stock, so sometimes you have to physically call or go by the store to know if they have one.
I think this is the Sam's link to it w/ a slightly different model # for SC/Sam's Club https://www.samsclub.com/shopping/navigate.do?dest=5&item=373882
I wrote down the specific "Item Number" that they used to look it up, if I see it laying around I'll come back and post, if it helps anyone.
I know there are valid reasons to buy a more expensive SAFE and not some RSC like this, but I have most of my defensive stuff in quick lock boxes anyway, so this won't hold a ton of expensive stuff anyway, but wanted to get something bigger than I needed, and had a mixed use plan for it. Maybe in the next house I'll do something more expensive if my needs warrant it, but for anyone in the budget RSC market like I was, I thought you might find this interesting.
Good luck. The closest thing I've seen to this is Dick's sometimes runs a special on their 28 gun black and silver Stack On safe for around $600, normally it runs around $800 or so too. It's about 60" high, but I think it's 25" deep, and that would cause me to remove an entired door jamb to put it where I wanted to put it, whereas this 22" deep model (not counting handle) should slide in where I need it.
