I have $1000 to spend on a gun safe, if it were you buying what would you buy?
Thanks everyone!!
Thanks everyone!!
Don't forget to add in the cost of getting it moved if you are wanting to put a 900 pound safe on the second floor.
Yeah I'm hoping to find something in the 4-500lb range that I can hopefully remove the door from to save on weight going up the steps as i am going to e moving it myself with a couple buddys.

Most residential codes call for 40#/sq.ft. 900 on the second floor is a bit much
For that you could get a SnapSafe delivered. Being modular, you could move it yourself. Fits well in a closet. Bolt it to the floor. 330 lbs. One hour 2200°F fire rating. If you call them, they can get you one with a La Guard type II dial combination lock. I don't trust electronic locks. I found a fire box that fits nicely on the top shelf for documents and a digital backup.
Remember, always get twice the size you think you need.
This will realistically hold three or four long guns with scopes, a fire box, and 5 ammo cans using the included shelving.

Since you're going to the 2nd floor I'd buy from a dealer that has a stair climber and pay for the delivery. You don't say where you are so I can't recommend anyone. For 1K you should be able to get a decent sized safe and delivery. You're living situation would help define what degree of security you need. I'm in a 3rd floor condo so a Liberty suits my needs. Just get a bigger one than you think you need.
I am located up in Cecil county. I just had my home built, in the woods off the road a bit so my house can't be seen from the street or by any neighbors. Looking for both fire protection and protection from a thief. There is some rough areas not far from me so I would like to know my stuff is safe and secure
