Gun Vault

[MN Hunter]

I’m in the market for a fireproof gun vault. I don’t have a lot of guns. Would probably never have anymore than 25. Does anyone have anything in particular I should be looking for, or brands to stay away from? I want something that is quality. Buy once, cry once.

I went with a Liberty. No complaints. Got it from cabelas and they have them in sale a few times a year for a decent amount off. Or Black Friday they can be found pretty cheap

Long guns? Scopes? Handguns? Gun safe ratings arnt even close to what can practically fit.

Make sure it has a key to get it open if electronics fail!!! I had posted my experience on a cannon safe on here that didn’t end up going to well .

Have a Liberty, it is a great safe. I am old school so did not go electronic don’t want stupid electronics to cost me a $2000 safe. do yourself a favor and buy bigger than you expect. I have the 40 gun and figured I would never fill it. Didn’t take long and I am in the market for a second safe now.

Long guns, about half with scopes. Also want to put important documents in it as well.

You gonna need like a 128 gun safe with half with scopes if they make one of those...

Never gave that a thought. Did you have to cut it open? Do they normally come with a key if they have an electronic keypad? I have a stack-on nice safe but don't know if the keypad fails what would happen

Your stack on should have come with a key if it’s electronic, I have 2 and they both did

This was the result. Ya- cut open. Here’s the crazy part.... I was in with a drill and recip saw in a matter of 2-3 minutes. Thing was a tin can. Most do come with a key now. Just don’t want anyone to think these are really secure from theft or fire on the cheap safes.

I have had a couple of the American Security Safes. A friend of mine owns a company that sell them. They have a good fire rating, and what sold me was the had one in their showroom that had been in a fire. The guy that owned it had a lot of cash inside and was worried that it would be destroyed. When they got it open and with the customer and insurance adjuster standing there, the cash was fine.

Buy one 3 times bigger than you think you need and you'll wish you'd bought larger after a couple of years.
