| I need a good long gun safe for under $500 if thats possible. Basiclly I can't drop a grand on a safe right now and I need some security. I live in a townhouse I rent so no permanent fixtures. I saw some inexpensive ones at Dicks sporting goods, but they were all key operated. I am looking for a dial combination lock. Some place in VA would be ideal. As usual thanks for looking. |

You're looking for a cabinet at that price and you can find some with combo locks at the typical hunting good chain store. The cheapest safes I've seen run about the price of a single good AR with a ten round magazine - $750 or so. The better firelined safes to hold 20 rifles (10 AR's) run about a grand to a bit more. When I lived in apartments I had a couple of Homark gun [s]safes[/s] cabinets with lag bolts run into the wall studs and the floor. They are better then nothing and now I use them for optics, magazines, and ammo storage. |

Menards and Home Depot are having a sale on Sentry 3920 safes right now for $299 and they are going QUICK. I just bought one today. [:)] [url]http://www.sentrysafe.com/guns.cfm[/url] Of course it looks like crap next to the Liberty Safe on display right next to it, but it's a huge step above the Stack-On cabinets that Wallmart sells. It'll do if you're on a budget. |

1. Homeless Depot about $300 2. Lowes about $350 3. Wally world $329.95 ( got mine here) 4. Sam's Club In the $300 area the above are pretty good Sentries and sound like what you want. They were on Christmas sales. Dick's $379 A Stack On, but looked pretty good for the $. Try and have your local Dicks do a product search and see if they can find one left over from the Xmas sale. Wally world will also do a search if you ask. |

Quoted: Went to Home Deopt today after seeing the thread. They looked at me like I was crazy , no safes carried at that location. DOH. What is Menards by the way. There are two Home Depots here in Madison, neither had any more safes in stock. After talking with several people I found out that Home Depot only carries gun safes during the Christmas season. Menard's is a chain hardware store, similar to Home Depot. [url]http://www.menards.com/index.html[/url] You can search to see if one is close to you [url]http://www.menards.com/menards?mm_dest=%2Flocator%2Fstorefinder.jsp[/url]. It looks like they only have stores in the midwest though, so you might be SOL. |
