LIberty Fatboy (not Jr), or Liberty Patriot PS 50?
11/28/2011 5:31:07 PM
Local farm supply store has these on sale. I'm torn between the Fatboy, which seems to have better "security" specs, or the Patriot PS 50, which is a 72" model. I really, really like the additional height of the Patriot model, vs the 60" of the Fatboy. Both are the same price, $1479.

2) Patriot PS 50 (I think it's called the Colonial line, now), $1479:

What's going to be the "real world" difference in security between these two? If the difference is minimal-to-nonexistant, I'd prefer to have the taller unit. If there's a significant difference in security...then I guess I'll have to make my choice...

Which farm supply store?

$1479 for a Fatboy is a really really good price. You get 30min extra fire rating over the PS50, although Liberty has a guy in their catalog whose Fatboy lasted for 3hrs in his garage at 100k BTU's and kept 95% of his guns in good condition. For that price you can't go wrong, IMO. I'd go Fatboy and never look back.

Where did you find the Fatboy for that price?

Local farm supply store. Race Brothers is the name. I think I'be decided to go with the Big Horn 7144 over both of these, though. It seems to be a better value.
