Yeah sounds right.

I think I've seen similar ones new here for about $6,500?

Yep, idiotic.

Makes me feel good when I'm away. My Dad paid $1,000 for his safe and I feel I could break into it with a crowbar. This one is a whole other level.


Yeah, a typical gun "safe" can't compare to a traditional valuables safe. They're what I'd describe as a good lock box only really... More of a strong school locker...

I don't think you guys have any storage requirements in the states, right? We do here, but it's only 3mm steel. Or "Hard wood".

Not exactly Fort Knox.

hahahah...I just smashed a couple painkillers so I'm in the state of ADHD before they kick in and knock me unconscious. Might start a thread in the general section to cover late night boredom discussions so we can't be accused of thread hijacks..

Orr...start a series of threads along the linesof .308 vs .30-06,.222 vs .223, .300blk vs .30-30, .303 vs 7.7, or even 7.62x64 vs .30-06 and 7.62x51 vs .308... They'd probably melt the forum :)

Other puny calibre rifles... What man would want you now?

Can you put a safe in a cupboard legally?
With the safe bolted to the wall and floor and have the cupboard locked to hide it.

Yep, it's bolted down so that's a pass and it doesn't matter what's on it or around it.
