I too have been shopping safes lately and although I'd much rather buy one of the larger ones, my home's floorplan really won't accomodate one. There is really not a decent place to put one on the first floor, unless I put it in the garage, which I'm not keen on. Also, with the configuration of my staircase, there is no way I'm going to try and get 500+ pounds of safe upstairs. I believe I've finally decided to just go with several smaller safes around the house.

I have a coat closet that has an opening of just 1/2" more than the width of that 10-gun Sentry model. I'm planning on putting it in the closet and seeing if I can lag bolt it into the studs. There would be just enough room to open the door, but not enough room to get any leverage on the safe to pry it out of the wall.

Does anyone have any idea how hard it will be to drill through the back of that safe?
