Id recommend getting a larger one. That size will fill up fast. Mine is a 60x29x22 and its getting rpetty full and I dont even have all of my guns in it(rest are at my dads). I want the ability to store all my ammo in there too in case of a fire.

So Ill be going with a 72x40x25 for my guns and use my current one for ammo.

What brand is yours? I would try to get a bigger one if I could fit it in. I can only get up to a 30" wide safe in the place I am gonna put it. Plus I spent all my coin on a 460 kit...

whatever you decide, get one twice as large as you think you need. Canon makes some good safes imo.

It's a cheapo Bridger, don't even know if they're made still. It serves its purpose though. I'm not too worried about someone being able to break in it. I seriously doubt your average burglar is packing the tools to break in it and I've got an alarm system so I doubt they could compromise it before the cops show up.

man I need a gun safe so bad too. just can't muscle the ***** to pony up the big time cash for one. I helped my cousin build a safe room instead of a safe. That was fund and ungodly expensive.

I picked up a Cannon Scout S33....60x40x25, 48 gun capacity. I thought it would be plenty but it's quickly getting to capacity due to the ammo storage.

Here's how she was delivered & anchored...




This is after a a bit of organizing, installing some lights, & door organizer.

I got a scout also, S19, 24 gun capacity. I found a dealer in Dallas, and found out the difference in the cannon safes from acadamey, and tractor supply...made in china, and cheap componets. I give less than the on sale chinese ones, cause they were clearing them out for the new safari series. I need to borrow a hammer drill, and ancor it this weekend. I have some metal shims at work I will use to level it. I like the hereatage safes too, but the lifetime warranty is not as good as cannon. Oh, I also got a golden rod, and ordered the recessed door storsge kit that the patriot, and higher up cannon safes have. They are real nice
