Best gun safe for under $3k

[Sbird2019]

I’m looking for recommendations on the best quality mid-range gun safe for $3k or less.

I’m looking for something around the 20 gun capacity. Dimension wise, think 60 x 30 x 25

I know at this price range, it’s more of a deterrent or buying time rather than 100% protection from fire or burglary, but I don’t want to go too crazy as we will be moving within a year and I don’t know what kind of space we’ll have in the next location for something bigger/better/ permanent

Any "safe" thats worth it will be heavy and therefore a bitch to move. Secureit has some cool modular products that come dis-assembled and are practical for moving around in the meantime.

What safe is going to provide 100% protection from fire and burglary?

100% was poor choice of exaggeration I suppose, as few things In life are that binary. Just for giggles purposes, I suppose 100% safe could be a detached, in ground bunker made by one of the disaster bunker companies with its own ventilation system and then vault doors

Just determine the size based on your space and gun quantity

For brand I personally don't think any of it matters. All are too heavy to easily steal, I can get into any of them with a cutoff wheel and infinite time, and none I'm aware of will actually survive a house leveling fire.

So that leaves price as the only determining factor in my book. A dollar a pound for anything made of steel is my go to. Picked up a 350lb safe for $350 from Menards on black friday

My personal stance is something that feels and smells nice and solidly built and after that get insurance. To me that hits something like the browning safes. They feel nicer than cheap stuff like canon to me and I don’t see the point in spending 1500$ more for functionally the same thing in the pricier boxes.
