Looking to get a second safe (RSC).
Some good suggestions on where to look around the Paulding area that might lend to some door kicking in shops. Ive found a ton of deals on Cannon, Winchester, and quite a few others online. They all look ok on the initial read ... But the you read the more i get the feeling of "you get what you pay for worries". Seems that everywhere I've looked has don't buy X because of Y.
Looking for some folks that have some actual experience on how well your $1000 and under safe held up. After all even a $50 safe is great if no-one has ever attempted to get in. I don't mind some opinions, everyone has one of those . But I'm looking to put some hard facts behind this too.
Ive seen some at tractor supply which has couple that are close by, I can start by looking at those:
Cannon Gun Safe, TS6040, 60 in. H, 36 Gun Capacity. -Great size but from what i can tell so far the door looks pretty weak to prying attempts. (really poor customer support reads as well)
Winchester® Gun Safe, 24 Gun Capacity -Door looks better - but smaller size and it has no electrical outlets. not much else on it yet either
Both of these are typical on what im finding for the "discounted shops"
I have to have space for about 12 large weapons now. (maybe another 3-4 in the next couple of years). Nothing planned but any good deals that fall into my lap, you just explain those after you bring it home, id like to be ready for those ahead of time.
I would really like to use it for more than a just the guns:
Documents, some old family pictures that could never be replaced, jewlery, etc.
The New one will go in the basement.. will be lag bolted to the floor. A concrete floor and 1 or 2 concrete walls in a corner are available. I have a Sprinkler system down there as well as well... so waterproofing is a must. Looks really are not a concern as much as functionality.
I've got a smaller one and the guns are in safely in it now, so there is no rush, but I really would like to start the planning on getting another, a substantially larger one. The sooner the better .. before the better half changes her mind. The smaller one will stay put .. and can be used for other things (My daughters boyfriends maybe
.
Thanks for any suggestions you guys might have.
