If getting down into your basement is a concern as it was with me, look here - http://www.zanottiarmor.com/safes.htm
Love mine and well worth the cost.
If you are willing to drive and pick it up, you'll save shipping. Cash also saves you some money.

+1 Terry is a great guy to deal with, and will do custom as well. I bought a 32", which is as big as I could use where it was to be located,and the standard depth was 24". I had it fire lined, and didn't want to lose the depth, so I had him change the depth to 27". Terry gave me 2 choices, he would cut the back off and weld on the extension, or if I could wait a couple more months, he would custom bend me what I wanted out of 1 piece as his safe bodies normally are. I just had to wait until he was starting another run of 6" tall safes. As I said, Terry is a great guy to deal with.

Re: GunSafe Help
I picked up a Liberty Fatboy Jr. from Lowes a few months back - they have it for $1097 on the Lowes website right now. I think mine came to about $1200 or so including inside delivery.

Re: GunSafe Help
Get a real safe. 2000+ pounds and have someone install it for you. Your price range is do-able if you find the right used safe.
Find a local Safe and Vault store. Better Locksmiths can usually recommend one.

Re: GunSafe Help
Just throwing this out there Cabelas is having a sale and I picked up a Liberty Classic series with a bunch of upgrade (Cabelas exclusive) for $1000.00 640lbs. I realize that there are better and faster things out there- but this met my requirements. You may want to look there.

Re: GunSafe Help
I live in Sunnyvale which is only 10 minutes away from Liberty safe. I was thinking about getting a Fatboy Jr. with both a key pad and a back up key entry in case of a power failure. I was also thinking about the dehumidifer. I should go down and see Liberty Safes in person and get the Fatboy Jr. configured the way I want.
What do you think and is it a good choice?

That's the way I went. I felt it would be easier to penetrate a safe that was just steel over a safe that was steel exterior with concrete and other bits of steel in walls.
I have used Sthil contrete cutoff saw and with that tool I could cut thru steel with little effort. Used abrasive type blade. Or course they make a diamond embedded blade that will go thru concrete too.
Bottom line if criminal has the time and expertise he will get in your safe or carry it away to get into later.

Agreed, mine weighs 3500 lbs empty and has TL-30 rating. I'd like to make it as difficult and time consuming as possible for the criminal.

Re: GunSafe Help
If you have a local safe dealer, go check out some of your options. You'd be surprised in the difference in quality between manufacturers, as well as the features that each offers.
