What Gunsafe To Buy?

[london355 0]

Hello,

 

I'm just applying for a shotgun certificate now and the FEO has been around and I'm at the point of purchasing a gun safe.

Even though I'm just applying for the shotgun currently, I may look to get FAC later so I can get a .17 HMR and similar.

 

I have another family member who would obtain the shotgun certificate and FAC at the same time and so the storage capacity

would need to allow for a few more guns than for just me.

 

Is there any recommended manufacturer or type of gun safe that is recommended?

 

I was thinking of getting one with the internal ammo compartment required for FAC. Such as this:

Thanks,

Tom

Brattonsound, good as anything, others will tell you to go for something else more expensive maybe but if you look on the net in right places you can pick up a bargain.

I will say one thing though, if your new to shooting get a big one, bigger the better, in time you will buy a lot of guns if you get gun disease like a lot of us did you will be glad of the space...

Yes it is possible to get some bargains

I've just got a 5 gun cabinet off a very nice fella on here

I'm ok with the 5 at the min. I've settled on my rapid for NV shooting and my HW100 for day time

May go SGC in the next year and then who knows................ oh dear you're right lol

I'm looking at the Brattonsound safes, do they come bigger than 9 gun?.... People seem to say you can fit less scoped rifles/guns than the manufacturers suggest.

 

Any comment on the Infac safes like the one I listed? They look good value.

that looks spot on and will keep you busy for a while i have the seven gun version it's not as deep as the one you're looking at i have three scoped rifles and two shotguns in mine and thats the limit. Alsollook at buying a separate safe for ammo i know the cabinet has a lock box but you will probably find you want to store your bolts, magazines and other bits and pieces in there.

There are a number of makes on the market and they are pretty much all BS standard.

 

As already mentioned get as big as you sensibly can.

 

Be careful about the highlighted/bold bit above, that may not be as simple as it may seem.

Ok great thanks very much to everyone who replied!

+1.

 

I picked up the 6/7 rifle, extra deep.

 

Don't bother with the safe with the integral ammo compartment. Get a separate ammo safe. You will be surprised how easy you fill it.

I have the 9 gun brattonsound deep safe inside is 3 shotguns and 4 scoped rifles

 

Its full

Hi,

 

Ok that clears it up I will get a Brattonsound. Is there a bigger safe they sell than the 9 gun?

 

Any recommended dealers or websites to buy one from?

 

These are the only few I found from google:

Go for the cheapest one you can find. It will probably be delivered straight from Brattonsound in Surrey anyway, but unfortunately they won't deal direct with the public.
