I need help finding a safe...

If you're locted in the San Francisco Bay Area, go to "Traders" in San Leandro. I was there yesterday looking for the same thing. They have a selection 2nd to none..., from a couple of hundred dollars to top shelf safes you are speaking of. Impressed the hell out of me..., and that's not easy... Be sure to speak with someone and have them show you the selection that actually have, not just what's in the store.

I really like Sturdy Safe. I have narrowed my purchase down to them. All of the other name brand safes I was looking at (Browning, Fort Knox, ect.) all used 10 & 12 gauge bodies, while Sturdy Safe uses 7 & 8 gauge bodies.

+1 on Sturdy Safe.

After I saw what a fire-axe can do to 10 gauge... I decided 7 gauge was appropriate.

I am way liking the products made by Visalia Safe, saw one at a show in Reno a couple of years ago, figuring when I get a house that will be what I am going for.

A big +1 For Visalia safes I have one and I love it. Check them out call them up and tell them what you want. The people are super friendly and they make good stuff.

Great peoople+ Great product =WIN!

I really liked the Fort Knox safes when I saw them. Actually I saw a bad *** one at the reno gun show a few weekends ago. it was a burnt copper metallic color with some carbon fiber look "racing stripes" going down the front of it. But I just can't get over how thin walled the base model safes are. You have to spend a LOT more money to get a comparable thick walled model.
