Safes: Cannon - Mesa - Liberty - Sentry

[sdmc530]

I have two safes,
1. A Champion Trophy 30. I paid 1400 for it. I really like it, combination dial, fit and finish is spectacular. Very heavy and secure. Interior is nice, but could be better imo, but it does the job very well.
2. I have a liberty Centurion, its a 17 gun holder I think or something like that. I got it at lowes for 400 last year. Its doesn't have the fire rating or the nice finish but its still a nice safe. I prefer the inside on the Liberty to my Chapmtion though. All in all both very nice.
Definatly go with the dial lock, my father in law got a safe at Menards I think a Canon and it had a digital lock and has issues with it from time to time. I know because he calls me to come fix it! I have a golden rod in each one too, makes a difference in my weather climate!

Hope this helps out....

It sure does. thanks! The Champion is way above my wallet stress point though. A mechanical lock is a strong preference. I appreciate the inputs.

Well, a handgun-only gunsafe isn't really a great idea. Even the heaviest can easily be carried by two men. I have two Gunsafes; A big Browning(875 pounds) with a five-digit spindial and a Steelwater with an Electronic(560-pounds). Of all the gunsafes I looked at the Steelwater was the best safe for the money. It has a lot of features usually found in upper-end safes. If you go to their website, you'll see what I mean. They even dropped on off the end of a forktruck at about twenty feet and it wouldn't open. This was after they busted the dial off,tried to force the lock through the dial-hole, attacked it repeatedly with six foot prybars, cut the hinges off, attacked it with an Ax and several other methods. It's a nineteen gun safe, I bought it for $766.00 delivered to my Deck.

Well, guess you would not approve of my safe. I bought this same exact safe, but from Costco. Only paid $299 for it and yes, it's bolted down.

I did not need a long gun safe, have no plans for any rifles.

YOu got her bolted down, they are not going to get it out, unless you have a wooden floor. You got your bases covered!
