Buy a MUCH bigger safe than you think you'll ever need. It's amazing how much stuff you'll wind up putting in your safe - lots of guns, hi-cap magazines, scopes, silverware, artwork, deeds & other legal documents, etc. I have a refrigerator-sized fireproof Browning that I bought 17 years ago, and it's already over-flowing. I paid $1,500 then, which was a heck of alot of money, but it has been worth it, since when I was burglarized years ago, the bad guys didn't get into my safe. Now the house is protected by high fences, a dog, a monitored, tamper-resistant alarm system, etc., but it still feels good to know that the last line of defense (the safe) will definitely delay the bad guys until LE arrives in response to the alarm - or much worse for the perps, until I arrive to "evict" them from my residence.
