For increased fire protection you can and should put some sheet rock on and around it. Helps with the fire rating. Also a cheep solution.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I own less than 10 long guns so a 20 would be perfect. Need some space for important papers some jewelry. Headed to Costal to look at one they have for $699.00. Digital combination, plus they are having a sale on Hamburgers for $.25. Anyone have a Vortex Viper HS 4-16-50mm with BDC they want to sell?
Honestly, try to wait for black Friday and find small ma and pop hunting shops that sell safes, some thing like sunbirds. Can get a safe for like 40% off.

I'm sure I will get flamed for saying but, modern safes(liberty,cannon type) are plain garbage. If your looking for actual protection any not just a metal box with drywall for fire protection look at https://www.sturdysafe.com
Not cheap but very good for the money.

I've owned both Liberty and Fort Knox. For Knox by far was a superior safe in terms of the amount of steel they use, much thicker. However I think Liberty makes a great product and bang for your buck it will do the job. Granted I could buy a better safe but it would cost more than twice as much. In the end safes are just a deterrent, if they want in bad enough they WILL get in. Its just a matter of time and effort.

In the end most of us with our safes need them for fire protection, keeping out unauthorized users (kids, druggy cousin) and lastly is theft. MOST thieves wont spend the time it would take to even try and mess with a safe. most thieves are smash and grabbers (don't leave guns in the closet unsecured). If a thief does plan to go after your safe and brings the tools hes going to get in anyways honestly.

So don't go cheap Costco Cabinet safe but you also don't need to take out a second mortgage on your house. Check out liberty and see what you think. great customer service too.

I found my 24 gun Sentry at Walmart in Auburn, for $200 cheaper then Sportco and Cabelas had it.

I'm always curious how guns will survive a fire in a fireproof safe. The contents of the safe might not burn but wood stocks could be trashed anyway just from heat and smoke.
