Gun Safes - Any recommendations?

They’re so heavy, I’ve helped install/bring in 2, from my experience they are for the first floor and a fixed appliance once placed. Anybody try to take a big bastard up or down a set of stairs?

I am a Cannon guy.

Placement is either basement (going to end up there anyways if a fire happens) or garage.

Both have issues. Basement floods and moving it in or out. Garage is right next to all the tools and likely isnt temperature controlled. Dont have a basement or garage? Buy only the size you need for now and put it wherever you can. The higher the fire rating, the heavier it is.

Once you find your forever landing place you can step up to a bigger safe to store all your paperwork and such. Like a barn, it'll fill up fast. Never big enough.

I have a liberty as well it has the old combination lock no electronics
It holds all my guns and important papers. I have no problem with it, it works fine and has a decent fire rating.

I have 2 cheap Homacks that aren’t fire safe rated. Just a metal cabinet that secures them from any normal person snooping. Got them 30+ years ago when the kids were toddlers and needed to put the hunting guns away from them. Always figured I’d upgrade down the road. Never happened.
I look at them now and then when we’re out and bout shopping. But at this point? I’m good with what I have.

We are a Liberty safe family. Pay once and it only hurts once...

Another vote for Liberty, love our Liberty USA 48 from the Fin. 1st floor location, delivery and set in place included in price.

Get the biggest you handle, it’s like a new garage….plenty room now but in a year or two you’d wish you went double that. Get one w around 45 minutes fire proof. Unless you leave in an area that the fd comes after 30 minutes of the 911 you might want a longer minute one. Get the one you can afford that a 12 yr old can’t break into. Unless you buying fortknox brand safes, you’d be surprised how easy they are to open up.

Another vote for Liberty. Mine is a cabelas branded model. 48-gun. Pretty nice safe for the money. My advice… buy the biggest one you can bring yourself to spend the money on.
