Started out with a small cheap safe, <$200. Originally thought I would just get "one gun" and was looking at the small gunvaults and similar ones to that. Everybody said "get a bigger safe than you think you'll need." So I did, but not big enough because now with a few handguns and some other documents and important items it is full. Should be adding a Mossberg 500 to the fold shortly, and then probably an AR-15 after that, so i'm thinking that maybe it's time I invest in one of the big safes that a few months ago i was "never going to need something that size!" I don't really want to spend $3,000, but I want to get something with a lot of room to grow into so I don't have to upgrade anytime soon again.
Anybody have any recommendations for brands that are a good price without compromising quality? I have come across a few threads recommending these http://stores.ebay.com/Pioneer-Safe as the best prices for the quality of construction. Either thinking about something like this and bolting it in a corner of the basement, or maybe even something smaller like this http://www.amazon.com/Stack-On-IWC-...UTF8&qid=1343956272&sr=8-4&keywords=wall+safe but maybe deeper and concealing it with a fake piece of drywall or wainscoting. Obviously it wouldn't be as solid as a larger safe, but if I could keep it well hidden somewhere then it wouldn't really matter as much. If anybody has any recommendations as for which way to go or even other ideas that work for them, I am definitely open for suggestions. Thanks!
