Lets Talk Safes

[Sixgun]

I just came from sportsmens warehouse, they have sale on really nice safes.

I got this one from big r if you watch they have them on sale all the time, iirc I only paid $599.00 for it.

From a few posts up, appears to now be called "Murdoch's".

Let me wade in here. I had a very nice Liberty, then I sold it and built a full on vault. Be ready to spend more like 1500-2000$ for something that you will want to keep around for a while. I seeyou are still in an apt. so maybe a couple of low buget Wal-Mart safes with barrel keys would be ok for now. My point is, a good AR-15 with the usual stuff will run into the 1000-1500$ range, so don't cheap out on a safe to keep it in.

Car-15, I did this to my safe, I can get more guns in it and easier access.

Not hard, let me know if I can help.

that would be a great improvement over what I have now, it is a real pia to get them in and out as it is.

Thanks for the suggestions fellas, i didn't know Wal-Mart and Costco even stocked safes.

What is Murdochs? Never heard of that place, do they stock a lot of safes?

Anymore suggestions welcome. I've been meaning to head to Gander and Bass Pro, they are the only two places i know that have them in store. Are their prices fair to what i could get online after shipping?

I got one @ Sam's Club (they had it in stock) about 18 months ago. It's a 12/24 gun Winchester and cost me around $650. I need another safe of the same size (any bigger and I wouldn't be able to get it into my basement - it was hell as it was). While I like the mods shown in the pics in the earlier post, it wouldn't let me squeeze in (figure of speech - not actually taking chaces with the guns) what I've got.

No matter what option you go with you absolutely MUST purchase either a moisture absorbing crystal pack or a de-humidifier - even if you've got the guns well oiled and in silicon socks.

I would love to get a nice big one i can have for life right now, but living in a one bedroom apartment has its drawbacks to be sure. If i can get something decent to last me ~2 years, i'll be happy. That is sound advice, but we just have no place to put the larger, more expensive ones.

car-15: That's pretty much exactly what i'm looking for! Thanks for the pics. Looks like i might take a ride down to Murdochs.
