I am need of getting a gun safe and moving my gun cabinet for other purposes.
Because of size and weight and types of guns a relatively small safe works.
My requirements are: height up to ceiling level of 8 feet, width not more than 30 inches and depth in the 20-maybe 23 inches.
Fire rating of 60 minutes should do.
My reasons for the safe are Fire, Grandkids prying eyes and hands when they visit and the smash and grab burglar.
I have narrowed my search to the safes in the title because they seem pretty solid for the dollars, but will be happy to hear of others.
The weight of these safes above is 525-550 pounds and with guns in them they will be heavier.
Currently I have only 5 long guns with three of those having scopes and would like to keep magazines in two of those three (not an absolute). I also have sixteen handguns with two bein AR15 and AK pistols plus a Mossbergs in 590 shockwave and 500 Persuader.
Ammo, or most of it, will go elsewhere.
I wish my house could handle a bigger safe, but I am about at the end of my gun buying days so I do not expect to need a bigger safe.
If any of you have either of these safes, I would appreciate what you think of them.
Also, since I do not live very close to a dealer, how have you shipped safes and what did you do to get it in your house. I am too old and somewhat disabled to play he-man any more.
Thanks for any help.
