6000lb Amesec? Damn I didn't think they made them that big!!! Mine was 1300lbs Now it is about 3300lbs

And that's 6000lb empty! More like 8 now.

Can you park a car in there? Sounds like you have a safe room

If you can get out from the inside.

Like 'Guns and more' I also went for a Champion safe. The dealer offered free delivery and installation including bolting it down to the concrete slab.

Liberty Safe for Gun Safes and Home Safes.
Remember, you want the most size you can afford. In one year I went from a $150 Stack-on, to a $360 Sentry safe, to a $2300 Liberty Lincoln. I hated spending that much money but I am glad now that I did.

Take this advice. He is not kidding I can promise you. I would not reccomend the $374 model at all.

It's actually best if you buy a safe larger than you need now and then double that size. I'm in need of my second safe in five years, as I've overflowed the 16 Gun safe I bought five years ago.

Next year I'm going to look at a Double Door Safe.

Most definitely. #1 complaint is "I didn't just buy the big one the first time."

Not a chance.

While Brownings are nice safes (made by Pro Steel) you can definitely get a lot more for your money buy going to someone else. The money you save by going to a Liberty or similar brand over Browning can usually jump you up a level for fire and security.

I sell safes. All I can say is "DON'T BUY JUNK!!!" I sell Libertys and Champions and they are both very well made safes. Are the safes that are better? Of course, but you are going to pay a lot lot more. Bear in mind that like most things you do get what you pay for, so if you buy a $500 safe, you're going to get $500 worth of protection. Don't know about you're area but we've been selling Liberty Colonial 23's which are a step above the Centurion for a little under $1K. Do you're homework and know what you want. Don't waste your time with brands like Stack-on, homak, or red-head for a serious fire-proof safe, because your stuff just won't be safe. Plus the steel cabinets that Homak and stack-on sell are only going to keep your honest people out. Anyone who is really determined will get into one of those. If you'd like you can pm me with any more questions.

I picked up a Cannon. American Eagle a few weeks back. A part broke (weld) inside the door when I turned the three spoke handle.

I called Cannon and They were 100% on board and had a Locksmith out a few days later with parts to fix it.

Cannon lifetime warranty. I wish I did not have to use it but it seems to be My luck with new stuff I buy at times.
I would buy Cannon again for the lifetime warranty..
