well, income taxes are coming in and I would like a quality safe, or as much quality as around $600.00 will get me.
I dont know much about safes, I would like to spend around $600.00 it needs to hold 4-6 rifles, I live in a great area in Arkansas, no theft to ever speak of, but you never know. I looked at a Sentry yesterday (it was there so I looked) at the airbase PX/BX, for some odd reason I punched it lightly, I guess self-consciously to see if it felt thick or flexed a little and it was so weird, it actually vibrated for 8-10 seconds, the whole safe just shook??? I found one at Academy sports online that is 12 gauge metal, made by cannon, and retails on the cannon site for $998.00 but is $499.00 from academy cannon gun safe I checked craigslist for a deal locally but no luck. I have read that stack-on and sentry are at the low end of safes. so what do you recommend? |

there is nothing close to $600.00 on there site, they start at over twice that,,,,, I can see stretching my budget a little, but I cant more than double it. |

This deal ends tomorrow. Although most recommend moving into better things, sometimes the budget is the budget so you get the best you can for it. http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11625662 |
| They run that sale on the Bighorn 19ECB a couple times a year. Unfortunately that is the "classic" style which offers the least protection of all their safes. But it that's all the money you've got to spend, then that's a whole lot better than nothing! Tractor supply offers the larger cannon safe on sale for $600 on most major holidays also, but they are stitch welded. The standard bighorn is contineously welded, not sure about the 19ecb. If possible, definately try to get a safe with contineous weld. I would say either is better than the Scout. |

If you're just keeping a few guns with no excessive value, then there's no reason you should have a problem with a $600 safe.
Considering the fact that most residential burglars will never touch a large safe, the fact that you're using one at all will put you at a very good advantage. Just make sure you bolt it down. |
