Not an elitist here, just getting that out of the way....but this weekend the wifey suggested we go safe shopping...oh, we looked at a few guns too....after looking at some of the $3K safes (and the STICKER SHOCK that went with them), all I gotta say is WOW, they are almost nice enough to move into! Kind of reminded me of an apartment in Tokyo...olafpfj wrote:I don't subscribe to the elitists who always advocate buying a $3k safe to protect $1k of firearms
But seriously, we went to Cabela's, Bass Pro and Academy. Trying to figure out the "best bang for the buck" and get something nice to store the collection in. I don't have a problem justifying the price but I look at it this way, if I spend $1K LESS than that's another gun (or maybe two?) to add to the collection.
The wife agrees with me. Decisions decisions....I'll tell you what I did NOT like, on some of the "value-priced" and even "mid-line" safes I noticed that the fit and finish inside were not that good, ie - carpet not covering the wood, the metal brackets on the side (to adjust the shelve height) were warped, etc.
