pistol vault

But what do you bolt that down to that is (reasonably) more or less instantaneously accessible?

Use your imagination, and be creative. I'm sure you can think of places. How about builtin shelves, cabinets (open door, punch combination, about a second), a heavy piece of furniture (like a solid wood armoire), etc.

I have a clam shell style gunvault with the combo lock. The cable is looped through the center of the bed frame. If someone wanted to steal the vault they pretty much would need to disassemble a king size bed. The vault sits right under my side of the bed and is easy to reach if needed.

I have the exact safe that the OP has. My mom got it from Walmart. It's marketed under Remington or Winchester, but I'll be darned if his isn't the exact same as mine, right down to the hidden key flap on the front.

I like it. It's quick to get into and does everything I need it to do. I will say, though, to get used to the keypad and the handle. I can do the keypad in the dark at this point, but you do have to hit the # at the end (that tripped me up at first) and you have to know how to work the handle. It won't open if it hasn't been pressed all the way to the left, etc. These are little things and I can get it open reliably in about a second every time, but you do have to get a feel for the way it operates.

A few ideas for you.
