Your thoughts on Sentry safes?

[VaughnT]

Wallyworld has the G7211 model for about $350 and I was curious about the overall quality and value. I missed out on the $250 safes at Tractor Supply, thinking that they would be in stock after the holidays.

I'm not looking for a giant, holds everything safe, just something decent to secure my weapons. Fireproofing, again, isn't something that I'm all too concerned with, though I guess I should be.

Basically, I want something relatively small and easy to move. I want something that looks nice but doesn't cost me two arms and a leg. I want something that's secure and available locally. While this model might be too small for everything, I figure I can get one now and save up for another one in the near future. Also, having two smaller safes would allow me to stow them in closets or in separate rooms (bedroom and office).

I thought this Sentry model might just fit the bill. Anyone tried this model? Am I better off going somewhere else for better quality at the same price? Is there a downside to the Sentry?

Sam's Club has a similar model for around $189.

I have a sentry 16 gun model, and Im quite impressed. The price was right, its light enough i can move it when I graduate from college, and I beleive it will deter any smash and grab burgularies. Once I buy my own home, I will probally invest in a full size,monster of a safe, and use this one for magazines, and other items, or jsut overflow from a big safe. Jsut make sure you bolt down whatever safe you get, and try to put it in a confined area which limits access.
