Just a heads up, some people are boarder line fanatical about gun safes. You're going to get some answers that say it's a great deal and some who say you should encase your whole house in concrete and used M1 Abrams armor plates.
Do some research on them. They're all just sheet metal boxes with Sheetrock lining. IMO you need to think about how many dollars worth of stuff is going in it, and how hardcore of a thief or fire do you feel like you really need protection against.
Odds are a $1000 safe that size isn't going to be bombproof. It'll probably stop and casual thrives and house fire that gets put out relatively quickly.

The difference between a Stack-on $150 12 gun safe and a $1000 Browning, Cannon, etc. 50 gun 30 min burn safe is 3 inches of sheetrock and a little more room. Make sure you'er you know what your buyin it for, If it is security your looking for, you need something more custom and robust with thicker sheet metal probably cheap end of $3500 to $5000. You can break into a $150 and a $1000 safe sold at local stores in basically the same 30 seconds to 1 minute. just fyi.
