question for SD members,
I need to increase my current gun cabinet capacity, which is a bratton sound 4-5 gun extra deep safe with internal ammo safe. I have filled it.
recommendations on make model and link to uk supplier; when considering the following factors, please;
1) location, it will be up stairs on modern floored joists, so a 935lbs Winchester big daddy safe won’t work for example
.
2) going by my experience of most cabinets, to comfortably squeeze in (with out knocking them ) say 10 guns you really should look at a what the manufacturer would denote as a ”20 gun capacity” and leave a gap between each, so something in that region will work for my future needs. plus won’t go past 10 to avoid having to implement increased / level 2 security requirements, as per home office guideline.
3) cost; don’t want to spend lots def sub 1k preferably around the £500 mark. (in time I may refubish a study I use and would like to buy at that point a wooden furniture gun cabinet piece so this is a stop gap for a good few years, not a forever safe deal).
4) security - guns inc scopes etc worth a fair bit (to me) to replace so something hard to get into and difficult to move preferred.
5) needs to accommodate up to 5 rifles scoped, 5 shotguns and a shelf for suppressors plus internal ammo safe.
appreciate I may be asking a lot, but greatful to hear about your own experiences and recommendations.
many thanks in advance.
