I found a 300 wsm in back of my other safe I forgot was in it, so I'm spending today dialing it out to 500yrds with 185 Berger ! TFF - you know life is good when you find a rifle you forgot where you left it (or forgot you even had). I had a similar thing happen with a pair of Zeiss 10x40 Classics. Couldn't find them right before an elk hunt so bought another pair and kept looking for the Zeiss throughout the season. Found them in my safe six months later  The safe thing would have me in fits and I'd be cutting the damn thing apart, but sounds like you've got a better solution. Good luck on your hunt!

Agreed Ed is a fine example of how all should be. Still waiting on my call from cannon. I found a 300 wsm in back of my other safe I forgot was in it, so I'm spending today dialing it out to 500yrds with 185 Berger ! That'll do it. Way better than finding a $20 bill in a shirt pocket in the closet!  GEno

After several emails and phone calls to cannon the have expedited paper work and have a locksmith coming today to drill it out and open it. I'm still not happy with the idea of just filling the hole with epoxy but at least I'll have my gun I want to take with me

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

The 300 wsm works great on elk...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

However, there wasn't a single one of them that couldn't have been taken just as well with a 30-06 so I just bought one that weighs a lb less than the 300. I'm getting to old to pack extra weight around the mountains.

Jgotro,
If I were you, I would let them epoxy the door and leave it at that. I'd get the president back on the phone, thank him for getting the locksmith there quickly for your hunt, but remind him how much you spent on that safe and ask him if he would be happy having a new safe with epoxied holes on the door in his house. Might get you a new door or safe, and then you can sell it to buy a better safe. Personally I have a few Browning safes, which I've had no problems with, if you are looking for something else.
Heal quickly and don't scar.
