Picked up a new gun safe this past weekend. it was 12hrs of driving to pick it up and come back home but for the price I got it for I would do it again in a heartbeat! $3500 dollar safe out the door for $2400 plus there is a $150 dollar rebate so it knocked it down to $2250. I know the rep for browning and he worked a nice deal for me at pheasant fest with Rogers Sporting Goods in KC. 49 gun safe, it'll look good in the basement loaded up!

The one you really want is next to it....the extra height, gives you 2 shelves for all your other goodies (handguns, optics, primers, accessories, etc). Nice looking vault, the door looks to increase the capacity a lot.

I thought about it but the problem was I really was only budgeting to get the smaller 33 gun PF safe. And well the deal he was willing to give me on this one made it to hard to pass up. I think the wife might have killed me had I spent another $4-500 as this was already more than what we talked about spending ;)
 
Make sure you put it in the right spot to begin with. Those things are a pain in the rear to move.
 
I got to help move a couple of safes last weekend. We recruited some young backs . The first one they made look easy, so I grabbed ahold of the second one and took it through the door. Shoot I couldn’t get the safe and dolly stood back up. They were all outside on the other side of the safe. I gave it another try and got it up. For a second there I thought I was going to have to have one of the women inside help me stand it back up.
 
I moved a safe, once. When I first bought mine almost 20 years ago I borrowed a trailer, rented a refrigerator dolly, and recruited a couple friends to help. It wasn't too bad until it was time to get it down to the basement. Once that safe reached "level" with the stairs, there was no stopping it until it reached the bottom. We moved a few years after that and the movers took care of it.
 
I have one of the bigger/taller ones, it wasn't too bad with a few guys and pipes to roll it on....20 some years ago. I got a vault from a bank, out of a temporary building they had, it held the safety deposit boxes. I thought I could get it moved until I spoke to a fella at the security company that sells and services them. They brought it out and put it in front of my garage, I had a friend at the local Coop bring their big forklift to take inside the garage and place it. The forklift could lift it, but struggled to turn as there was so little weight on the rear steer tires. That one holds most of my prairie dawg rigs, a few handguns and my primers. Built an interior and lighting. No shotguns in this one.

What do you run for humidity control in your safes? Looking at the systems that are out there they all seem to be about the same. Either the packets of beads/etc... or the rods that are powered from the outlet.
 
I use Golden Rods, I have power in the vaults for the lighting also.
If you zoom-in yyou can see the gold bar across the back, down low.
**I don't keep my boots in there, that is a box for car titles, life ins policies, property abstracts and such.
