There was a thread about a week ago, I wrote a page, short version.

Get a tall one if you have many shotguns with 26" barrels, add 26" rifles in your cvount.
You probably have more long guns than the little slot Wil hold.


After all the BS about weight and door thickness, look at side, back and top thickness.

A stooge ain't breaking into any safe, a smart dude will go in through the side or back.

Time, tools, noise.
Where do you live? Neighbors close?
If you live remote and everyone works, a determined burglar could
have hours to work, with tools. Very few safes will hold for 1 hour.


But,
time, tools, noise. (And knowledge)
Unless you were targeted by a pro, due to having really expensive stuff,
It's likely a smash and grab thing. The metal cabinet type safes bolted
down will stop those guys.

Unless, you provide the tools.

The guy who used to own Juniata Trading sold a lot of safes.
He told me they only had one known safe get cracked.
The customer was a contractor,
lived rural,
on vacation,
had a concrete saw near where the safe was.
The safe was cut open, contents and the saw were gone.

Done know where Western Pa is,
But Juniata has 1 or two big sales each year.
They get a bunch of safes in and sell them pretty reasonable then.
New ownership, not sure if that will continue.
