jbullgpd Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 In the market for a big safe. Getting my FFL and need storage capacity. Don't have the money to build a safe room, maybe next house, so need a big honkin safe. Has anyone ever heard of or bought one of these? http://www.sportsmansteelsafes.com/ They have a 72x60x28 safe for just a tad over $2,000. That seems to me like a good price.

Oh yeah, I have had one from them for a long time and have not had any issues whatsoever from it. I also thought that they were VERY reasonably priced.

Jaxshooter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Make sure you check the fire rating and check with your insurance carrier to see if they have any requirements. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlamoShooter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 I like Canon = they suport the sport and the safe is great. I don;t have one as big as you are talking about though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flatland Shooter Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Consider waiting until you get your FFL and sales tax certificate. Several safe vendors offer discounts to gun shops for safes. I saved about $400 on a $2100 safe this way. Bill Edited May 1, 2007 by Flatland Shooter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the same company as Pentagon Safes. I ordered a safe door for the vault I just built in the new building. Pics as soon as the Concrete man removes the forms. Along with how we built it. I havent received the door yet. It should be here soon. I had allot of question so I talked with the owner. Seemed ok, maybe a tad to much salesmanship for me but I fell for it. If you want to wait until I get it I will let you know how it is when I get it. The door was 3200.00 but it was custom made, at least thats what the owner led me to believe. They did tell me 1 month and its been 2. Wasnt worried since the concrete ceiling was just poured last week. He wanted to let it cure at least a week before removing the forms.

REDHORSE Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 Not big enough, lol. Yea, not as big as the dimensions you quoted. Close.... They've got a shelving system (Tru-Rack) the actually holds the number of long guns they specify. Unlike some of the other makes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a reason to be in LA awhile ago. I stoped in to see their operation and was impressed. I have known several people that bought them and had no problems. That being said, I did not see any difference between them and the Cannon safes. Since Cannon has a better warranty, that is who I went with.

kimel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Try a search. There must be a dozen threads on here about gun safes, which ones to stay away from, how to move them, how to secure them, how to keep rust from ruining your collection, and so on. A lot of it comes down to your relative location from the manufacturer because shipping ends up being a big chunk of the cost of a safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will do for now, will have to, but i am skeptical how long it will hold up. Also it took twice as long to get than promised and they didnt seem to have their stuff together. I wish i had gone with another door manufacturer. This is who i should have used. Live and learn. http://www.brownsafe.com/categories/estate...vault_doors.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
