I'm looking to buy my brother an inexpensive gun safe. I found this one at Academy, and am thinking about picking it up. -->>Click Link Here To View Safe<-- What experiences have y'all had with this particular model? Do you have any other recommendations around that price range? Any opinions would be great! Thanks Bob

I purchased one and took it back the very next day. The paint job sucked and the welds on the hinges weren't even complete. I'd recommend calling A&C safes and see what they can do for you. I picked up a Nice Winchester safe from them for slightly more than the Sentry Safe.

I have one. It's really not bad at all. Hinges on mine look fine. I bought it because I live in an apartment and I will have to move around a bit before I finish school and get a real job. It's about 180 pounds and if you bolt it down to the floor or in a stud, it should be robber proof for a couple of hours. Most thieves get in and out quick and once they realize the safe is bolted down they will leave.
Later I plan on making it my ammo storage once I have money for a better one.

I can offer a third on that. I bought one from Academy to store my ammo and accessories that I wanted to keep locked up but were taking up too much room in my main safe and it is a good safe. I would recommend it.

I have one, got mine on sale for $279 two years ago at academy. First thing to go was the top shelf. Was tough to get rifles all in with it in place. Other than that I love it.

I got a stack-on 19 gun safe which is the size of some 24 gun safes, for $220 out the door on clearance at Dick's.

Yep, pretty good deal. I was looking for targets or something and spotted. I could not pass it up, then then they rung it up and it was like 25% less than marked.
I would stay away from electronic locks if at all possible unless the deal is to good to pass up. Also, you should hit a bunch of places in DFW and look for unadvertised clearance items. Try Norther Tool and the similar tool shops too(I think there is another store like northern or I may be loosing my mind).

That would be Harbor Freight and yes, they do sometimes have gun safes.
