RE: Gun Safes
What should I do?
Cabelas in Richfield, WI has a sale today and tomorrow on their "Cabelas" series safes, which are made by Liberty. $100 off by Cabelas and another $100 off in mail-in rebate from Liberty (double each offer if the safe is over $2000). I am looking at the Bronze series (which is similar to the Franklin series on the Liberty website). The 60.5 X 36X 27.5" safe with 34 Long Gun capacityis priced at$1599, so$1399 would be the price(before tax) after instant and mail-in rebate. Compare that to a similar size Browning at $1799fromScheels SportingGoods andIam thinking it may be too goodof a deal to pass up (especially since I have a $200 gift card to Cabelas). But I just don't havevery much time to think about it. I really like the gun rack (duoplus) on the Browning and the 180 degree doorswing, but notenough to pay$400 more.
The 840lb safe has a 60 min fire rating at 1200 degrees with 12 gauge steel and 4 layers of 5/8" fireboard in ceiling and 3 layers on the walls and door. They don't have one in stock with manual lock, so I would have to wait for one to ship to the store.
I am going to call another store tomorrow that carries Browning and check their prices and then I will have to make a quick decision to wait for the next sale or make a road trip to Cabelas.
What do you think?
