Re: Gun safe thoughts/advice

I'll just echo what has been said so far. Buy for at least 2x what you think you're going to need. For me, I should have gone 3x or 4x what I thought I'd need. Even after going through varying ways to cram more in there (Rifle Rods, various pistol storage means, etc.) I am completely out of room.

I started with a cheap StackOn 'cabinet' but realized that wasn't going to fly. Shortly before my first daughter was born, I finally went to a 24 gun safe that I picked up at Costco, which was, at the time, more than I could ever need (or so I thought). After somehow managing to cram 38 long guns in there, I'm in a holding pattern. I've moved some pistols to a smaller executive safe type of box so I could get some room to keep other valuables in there, but it's a temporary solution. I have to be careful when I open the door. :lol:

When I had the room, it was nice to store ammo in there, but that didn't last long. I have to store it in my gun room outside the safe now. Fortunately, I live in a very dry climate, and store desiccant packs in the ammo cans & crates, so I'm not too worried.

Not sure what your budget is, but I'm looking at these and have heard very good things: https://rhinosafe.com/all-products/gun- ... ed-series/ (specifically the 76 gun model)
