Im searching for a safe, I have been borrowing room in a friends safe.

So, I was looking around, and was looking at Cannon Safes, Winchester and Stack-On.

Stack-On looked cheap to me, and Cannon looked the best.

I want to keep it under 1k for a 20 gun safe.

What is the best deal?

I have a Stack On Elite 30 gun.I like it and have had no problem with it. What ever you get put it in the corner of a room to protect the sides and bolt it to the floor.

Cabelas has a Cannon Americaln Eagle that goes on sale once in a while I think for under a grand.  They also have a Cabelas brand which is probably made by either Liberty or Cannon. If you live within driving distance, you can pick it up.  I hauled my safe from Cabelas in the back of my Expedition.  I got a safe a few years ago on sale, during a Club Event Weekend, with my Cabelas Visa + cashed in all my points.  Saved a couple hundred dollars.  If you shop there no sale, full retail you get screwed.   Either of these safes is nicer than the Stack-on IMO.

to the OP...

I too am looking for a safe.  It seems that the thickest thing your are going to find is 10 ga. steel.  That is a must have for me as well as a 1/2 inch steel door.  Yes, I know it's prob. more than 1k$, but it's worht it considering what will be inside.

Having a thick door with thin walls gets you nothing in return. However, amsec uses 10 gauge walls with 2" of concrete amalgamate and a 16 gauge inner, as well a 1/2" steel plate door on their BF line. If you're willing to spend the $$, that would be the minimum I'd consider. If you really plan on spending a lot, look at Brown, Graffinder, or any comercially rated safe, preferably a TL listed one.

I concur.  The BF 6636 is very nice.

The safe will actually be going into a closet, and will be bolted to the floor.

I am considering the Cannon AE22 or C23.
