Gun Safe recommendations

[Chef]

I'm looking for a new gun safe. It doesn't have to be a vault but would prefer better options than security. There are a ton of options online so I figured that I'd ask you guys. Looking for something around 4' wide for 40ish long guns. I have a few of those cheap flimsy metal cabinets and would like to move everything into one safe.

Liberty Fatboy 48 gun capacity I think. I don’t have 48 guns though. About half is dedicated to personal papers, jewelry etc etc. I think it’s rated at 45 minutes at 2,000 degrees but could be wrong. Also look into safElert. Battery operated and gives you updates via email, text, or both regarding battery life , humidity level, heat, and motion/disturbance alerts. Tells you when door has been opened etc etc.

Liberty is what I have. High quality safe. Just so you know, just because the safe manufacturers say it is a 30 gun, or 45 gun safe for example, that does not mean that is how many guns you can put in the safe.
My Liberty Franklin model is a 30 or 35 gun safe and I can realistically put about half that many inside it.

If you want to fit 40 long guns, you will need a 60 gun safe. Especially if you are talking scoped rifles. I ended up with a custom built safe. Cost a little more, but it’s exactly what I wanted.

If you want to increase safe capacity for long guns be sure to use rifle rods and take out the bolts. You can stack them a lot closer together, but they will touch. I use gun socks to protect against handling marks but it makes it harder to identify your rifles.

Stand up a Ridgid job box, add a paint job (if you don't like the orange) & some gun rack inserts and you have a Done Deal!

I trust the designed of the Job box way more than I do the store bought safes.
The Box has a 1-time installation lock system, with recessed shackle, saves time and provide protection against break-in by saws, pry bars, and bolt cutters (locks not included)
Overlapping cover design provides superior weather resistance and added security; features heavy-duty, 16-Gauge steel construction with fully arc-welded seams

I like Cannon safes, above is a link to why. Others might have the same warranty, but I'm only aware of this manufacturer.

I picked up a browning Mark IV 48 last year and absolutely love it. Slick design, internal lighting, modular rack system, and a storage rack on top. It’s stout and it looks it.

Champion safe, Liberty, Cannon I have 3 friends with 3 different brands like
Chevy,Dodge,Ford find a reputable safe sales location and see which one jumps out at ya big investment

Champion or Superior are good. I would definitely try to find something taller if possible. The standard 60” tall safes just don’t allow extra shelf’s for other storage

Something you should consider when buying a gun safe. If the safe will not open due to fire/smoke damage. Seems most of the safes these days have a cheap looking plastic keypad which I know fails during these events. Wife is an adjuster. Some insurance companies will pay to have it opened. Some will not. Same with the safe companies. You may have to foot the bill to get it opened by a locksmith. No clue what a locksmith would charge to get it opened. Reason I went with the old fashioned dial instead of the push button dial. They are getting harder to find. I would ask your insurance company as well as safe company.
