Looking for a good safe

[vondong]

Hey all, I'm looking for a good safe that won't break the bank. I'd rather use a combo lock versus an electronic one but not opposed to it. Keep the price under $1000, but the closer to $500, the better. I've been looking for 16-24 gun capacity. Help is appreciated.

Call Homeland safe. Tell them your budget. They will work with you. Their safes have anti-pry tabs and double step doors. Their prices are great too.

Costco and home depot my friend. Short of finding a good used one on calguns

You could always buy the cheap $500 Liberty, bolt it down and then when you have more cash, use it as a ammo/mag safe.

Liberty is definitely the way to go. It's the cheapest "real safe" you can get. Anything from Costco is garbage. I got one of the Liberty Centurion 24's and I'm very pleased with it and it's just under your $1k budget.

Go here and find a dealer near you; http://www.libertysafe.com/find-dealer.php

Buy big and heavy. Bolt it down. Add a moat around your house, fill it with crocodiles.

"Please, someone point me to where I can spend $500 to protect $5000 worth of belongings." "Thanks!"

*sigh*

Don't bother with fire proofing safes. Buy a safe made out of steel, and lots of steel. Bolt it down.

In terms of brands: AMSec or Sturdy Safe, or an older safe from Kodiak or the like -- when they actually used to use steel in greater thicknesses than 16 gauge.

Anything from Costco or Home Depot and you're wasting your time, you're better off spending $150 on a locking cabinet.

Check out some of their videos, impressive.

Costco. Your $500 there should get you something decent.

REMEMBER.....
When you transport that safe from place to place, throw a big brown refrigerator box around it. So the nose-ee neighbors won't see sheet.

Buy one that two dudes can muscle in & out of a regular truck.

Wise words here.

Those boxes that look like impressive safes, might not be as safe as you think.
As least be forewarned on what you are actually buying.

Thanks for the tips everyone, they are appreciated. Looks like a Liberty fits my needs and budget.
