My friend Craig has the larger version of this safe (36 rifle) and he loves it. He got his from http://www.tractorsupply.com/ and if you look at their reviews, they are all very good.

I have nearly the same safe, only a bit narrower, and without an electronic lock (EX14). Similar deal from costco in April 2009. Shipping charges included in the price make it a good deal. It took a couple of weeks to ship from California. I paid the truck driver a few extra bucks to help me get the safe up the front steps and into the front door. I took it from there.

 

I'm very happy with it. Suits my needs perfectly. It's well-built, and the outlet is a great feature. I have a dehumidifier rod, and a 16" flourescent light plugged in. The shelf brackets are standard size, so it was easy for me to add an additional shelf myself.

 

I would say go for it and get the EX20. For the price, you really can't go wrong.

Thanks guys, i took a shot an ordered it. worst case it gets returned, since you can return stuff to costco for like 12 years

I was thinking of getting the same on Don

Why do you guys need a safe? I just put all my loaded guns in my closet and shut the door

Funny part is your not joking.

I was looking into a Liberty safe (still am actually) and it was big. Bigger than I would ever need but could also put other stuff in there. It was like 2100 installed. There was also a smaller one that was 30 guns, that was installed for 1600. The fire rating is importnat but I can't figure out where to put it.

 

I was thinking in my closet in the master bed room but was concerned about the weight.

That's a good idea as well, maybe ill put a combo lock and brass spindle handle on the closet and call it a day

watched the vid safe looks good and solid, most important the youngen's cant get to them..

I just bought the same safe from tractor supply, only a few small things different. However, I love it. Was perfect for me, and my slowly growing collection.

If anyone's looking for a smaller/midsize safe (10-14 long guns), Wal-Mart online has some good prices on the Sentry safes + 97 cent shipping!

 

Im not sure if its a sale or a mistake, but I see most other places selling these safes for about $150 more BEFORE shipping.

 

Here's the 10 gun version (Electronic Lock)

For some reason, the same one without the E-Lock is MORE expensive! :?: :?:

 

Here's the 14 gun version (Non E-Lock)

Like I said, I'm not sure if this is typical Wal-Mart pricing but the practically free shipping is a no-brainer if you're looking for one of this size.

They're not fire-resistant though, so keep that in mind.

Received an email last night from Costco;

 

1. We would like to upgrade your order to a LARGER safe (20.49 CU. FT.

I would get the largest you can afford. You may not think you need it, but they fill up quite fast. You can always put ammo in the extra space. A larger, heavier safe is more difficult to steal.

 

When you install it, bolt it to the ground and in a spot where its difficult to get pry bars on it.

Stack-On Safes 10-Gun Safe With Electronic Lock

The Sentry safe I posted above from Wal-Mart just went up about $50!

Maybe they're catching on that it was being sold for too little?

One thing about that safe is it appears to have interal hinges which allow the door to only open 90 degrees. Some people don't like that.

Received an update from Costco last night, the safe shipped yesterday, expected to arrive here on Friday.
