...of room in the safe?  

OK, I've reached a point where my safe is full. (nice point, in a way). I figure I have to find at least another 1/2 doz long guns that I just can't live without before I can justify shelling out another $1500 for another safe.

Soooo, I'm  evicting a few items back to the old gun cabinet in the mean time. The "non-guns" are first to go, the RWS mod 52, the Rem 700ML and the T/C muzzle loader. I think the .22 rimfires are going to be next, maybe the SKS.

How do you decide what's worthy?  

BTW, at least the outcasts will still be behind a monitored alarm system.

Just buy another safe.  You know that eventually you'll have to anyway.

Well, you're right in a way. But I have this problem, when I see a safe with room in it, I get this uncontrolable urge to fill it up. And that can get real expensive.

The answer to your question is easy.  If you came home one day and found your house robbed and all of the guns not in the safe were swipped, which ones would you prefer to kiss by-by?  In other words, if they were stolen would you just say "awe shucks" or would you say to your self "I'm going to cut those mother f**kers heads off and piss down their dead necks"?  For me the answer is easy.  If the replacement values of lost merchandise is at least 40% the value of a safe, I buy the safe.

Go with JoseyWales good advice!From my own experience, I have been sorry for any gun I ever parted with later except for a couple "junk pieces" over the years. Good luck to you on your decision.

Quality before quanity? I ran into the same problem as you. I sold the weapons I never use and got extra magazines and all the goodies for the ones I really enjoy.
