The new champion safe was delivered today. Sure looks bigger in my home than in the showroom. Looks like it's going to be a keeper. The guys from Lone
Star Safes did a good job getting it moved in.
It is nice having all that room for the guns and related goodies.
So far looks like the best "bang for the buck". It's a Trophy series, i think about 26 long gun capacity along with some handguns.

Well, i went to the Pasadena jewelery (oops- i meant gun) show and one safe company was there. Fort Knox, nice safes but a lot out of my price range.
I left there and went to lone star safes on 1960 and found a real good selection. Finally settled on the champion trophy series. It will hold 20+ long guns
and a mess of pistols.I have to wait a week for delivery. Seems like good people to deal with so far.
Thanks for the help guys!

Thanks guys for all the info. I wasn't going to mention names but sportsman safes was the one with all the complaints. Sure glad i found that out before i went to their store.
I did look at what Cabelas had- looked good too.
Champions are real nice, looks like they've been around a while. I'll be looking more tomorrow. Let ya know what I find.

My present safe is getting a little crowded and is really not a good secure model. I've been on the computer looking at all the different types and brands of safes. I was going to check out one thats made in Houston, but after finding so many complaints of poor workmanship and even worse customer service
i dropped that idea.
I saw some safes at the gun show at Pasadena last month but i wasn't really in the market for a safe then. I may go back there in the morning and see what they have.
Anyone have any suggestions or ideas (good or bad). I've looked at some of the safes at Academy and they were ok.
I'm mainly looking for a 20+ long gun cap with room for pistols and shelves for other goodies and has a good fire rating.
Thanks for any info.
