I have the chance to purchase a 14 gun Sentry Safe (below $300.00)..... It is not the fire rated version but it has the electronic keypad......anyone have any info (good or bad)....It appeared to be a good safe.....and I like the keypad.... Thanks in advance.... |
| Any safe is better than none, but I would recommend a fire resistant safe. Sam's Club sold the Winchester brand for a while, not sure if they still do. If you have more $ or have any interest I can post a treatise on gunsafes I prepared after I went through the effort to research before I bought several years ago. |
If I go over the $400.00 I would have to purchase a scope, or a 7.5" .223 upper, or a O/U 12Ga., etc......I think I could get the wife to overlook the $280.00....... |
| Look at the safe as an insurance policy. It can protect your considerable investment in firearms and other valuables and paperwork (will, insurance policies, deeds, titles, etc.). Not to mention the safety issue if you have kids. And I would hate the thought of some crackhead breaking into my home and getting hold of my weapons. We just had a homeowner shoot a home invader dead nearby in a 'good' part of town. You might bring these issues up if you have to sell the wife. |

I have one of the their fire resistant safes for 14 guns. It is a good model and I am happy with it. I want a larger one though as my collection has grown over the past few years. Get the fire resistant one and you will be happy. It feels good knowing my weapons are locked up in a safe whenever I leave. Max |
