It was $200 off so I got it for $800. I already had a Cannon about the size the one you linked with a manual lock that I bought about 5 years ago for around $600. The warranty on the Cannon is really good (better than the one you linked) and the smaller size was really not big enough for me. The number of firearms they say they hold is not really realistic IMO. Anyway, if the safe is big enough for you and you can't justify a bigger slightly better warranty, weight, burn time, etc. then this is certainly better than nothing.
My Cannon was assembled and painted in Mexico with US components. I would have preferred a fully US made product but I couldn't find the same size safe with a similar warranty for less than $1350.

It says it only weighs 240 pounds, all the good safes weigh 500+ pounds that I know of. Looks like the safe yellowdog mentions might be a good one. There is a fire rating that you need to pay attention to, and I can't remember what is good and what is probably not good, but if you talk to a safe guy they can probably educate you.

I ended up getting a Cabela's branded Liberty safe, 48 gun "fatboy" for about $1200, delivery from Cabela's was only $20 too :yike: picked up a power connector from a Liberty dealer online for $40.

That is the same safe ^ pay attention to delivery prices, 710lbs is a lot to ship :chuckle: The other thing I saw was that most of the people who had issues with ANY safe it seemed like they were the ones with an electronic lock.
"Upgraded in 2010 to 45 minutes @1200°F and 80,000 BTUs, which is more fireboard than the competition!
Palusol heat-expanding seal included on all models, expanding up to 7 times it size in a fire at 212°F. Don't settle for inferior door seals used on cheaper safes."
That's a good way to detail out what you can expect for fire protection, many just say they will last for X amount of time and being as there isn't any standard for such that I am aware of that could mean anything.

Yeah I noticed that. I'm sure newer technology can account for something, but to some extent there's no substitute for good ole fashioned mass. I think I'll stick to a heavier safe, and one that leaves room for growth.
The electronic lock concerns me, too.
