What the heck is with safe sizes?

[11Charlie]

no; bump your $$$ up a bit, what's them bangsticks worth ennyway?

You don't need to spend more than that on a safe IMHO. I bought mine new on sale for $980.00 and it is a Liberty Fat boy 42 gun safe.

I wish now I would have gotten a bigger safe.
I got the liberty oh hell I can't remember which one.but it's not big enough LOL

Yeah, it's an old adage in the size, but I know it's a good one.

I'm considering their ~30 gun Vs their ~48 because it would be a better fit for the space I have, but at this point the price difference is minimal and, following the adage, I should suck it up and try to make the larger of the two work.

Go see Jerry Fee at Northwest Safe Sales. Good man, has a showroom, uses the products he sells.
He's is Oregon City and he delivers and sets them up.

Selling Liberty safes?

 

[partsed]

He was selling Liberty Safes at one time but now he sells American Security I believe.

 

[MountainBear]

Yes, he moved to American Security. There were some features he decided he liked better. I just bought a safe from him a few months ago.

But in the interest of disclosure, Jerry is a good friend. That being said, he's honest and knowledgeable with a good product.

I had a brief look at the site, but it's oddly not as easy to browse as the LS site, either that or they don't look at much like gun safes? What would be the equivalent of what i was looking at? Which one did you get?

 

[MountainBear]

He has an entire showroom full of safes you can look at in person, measure, and discuss options.
I can't remember which model I got, I just told him my budget and what I needed and he showed me a few options. I got the biggest one I could afford.
A word of advice. Don't sell your old safe or cabinets. Even big safes get filled faster than we'd hope and having a back-up for lower end guns is a good idea. I kept my old safe for projects, although at my current pace it will be full of finished projects, and unfinished will have to go in the metal cabinet...

Rhino/Bighorn Swing Out Gun Rack (6-Gun)

I have also seen a rack that slides in and out, but I can't find in on google - yet.

Hmm, doesn't look like it increases space, might even remove some, just for convenience I think.
