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?
Years ago when I was researching Gun safes,... I was advised to stay away from the digital locks. The true and tested S&B tumbler would out last the electronic digital. Maybe they have improved.... not sure now.

That's the route I went. Has plug ins for a dehumidifier, and holes in the floor to bolt it down. 3 years now and zero issues.

Not cheap but very good for the money.

When I researched safes a few years ago I was horrified by how little protection you got for under 20k, when it comes to both fire and theft.
I really couldn't justify the cost of a safe that truly offers protection, and until you spent another 20K or so all it did was make the thief spend another few seconds to break into it and that didn't seem worth it.
I ended up with this unit (I am pretty sure for under $600).

I have done other things to my safe to slow down a thief (bolt it down, put it in a closet, etc) but I figure they would have it open in under 2 min if they want.
I think getting a few steps up from the gun cabinets is the best bang for the buck.

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 (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.
