I just bought a strongbuilt that was blemished for $650.
it holds 26 gun and is very well built. to the tune of 754 lbs!!!
my dealer bought a truckload of them that would have normally sold for about $1300.
you may start checking around and see if you can find some blemished safes. mine has a few rough spots in the paint but no weakness in strength.

i looked at heritage before and really liked the safe just not the price.
