May be in the market for a safe for about a dozen guns.

Whatever you decide on, go up at least one size

Liberty. But do get the bigger size than you think you need.

Tractor Supply sells the Cannon brand and their sales knock em down several hundred dollars. Keep a Golden Rod warmer unit in there and stack those gums.

depends on your expectations

Are you trying to keep kids out or the cat burgler?

hidden is better than secure. Can't steal what they don't know is there. I'm toying with the idea of a hidden "safe" between studs in the closet.

After watching some reviews on YouTube and reading up on a few articles I decided I really couldn’t afford a true safe. I ended up with a stack-on from sams just because it was the best bang for the buck at the time.
If you watch you can catch some sales at academy or tractor supply.
Make sure you buy double the size you need unless you are storing single shot crack barrels, because the number stated on the safe will not hold the amount listed unless you just shove them all in!!!

I got a Cannon from academy for Christmas, 60 I think. It was their cheaper line with 3 pins. I mostly want to keep my kids out and make in inconvenient for a burglar.

Gotta keep them gummy little fingers outta my stuff.


ETA, they can all be broken into, and for the most part, none of them will truly keep your guns safe in a house fire.

I DID see that Cannon will insure them for loss if something does happen.

I have a 30 gun that we filled up in a few years. The right side can be retrofitted and made to hold another 30 or so guns. Right now it’s shelving like you would see in a pantry. That being said I wish would have gotten one that holds 60+ guns.

Liberty, buy twice the size you think you need. Long barrel shotguns have to be in slots out from under shelving and scoped rifles can't be in slots along walls and often intrude on the row behind them, ARs with scopes and protruding mags often occupy the rows in front and back of the firearm as well. Then once you accommodate all this you want some easy access spots for your frequently used guns.
