The first thing to keep in mind is that any safe can be opened by someone determined to open it. You need to use layers of protection (like an alarm, safe, cameras etc.) along with insurance if you are worried about theft. I do not see the point of buying a high dollar safe unless you have an heirloom firearm that cannot be replaced, a safe is really just to slow thieves down (but some can offer some protection from fire and other natural disasters. It is a different story if you are trying to keep firearms away from children but I can buy a lot of firearms for what some of the higher end safes cost. If you only need a smaller safe that offers high security look for a used TL30 safe. They are much harder to get into and very heavy. Another deterrent is to make sure the safe is bolted down to the floor. Just my 2 cents.
