Gun safe I want

just don't have a big enough house to put it in
That would go in my garage out back with 12' ceilings.
I could have filled that up a few years ago.
I don't think anyone would walk off with it
maybe Paul Bunyan and his Ox could carry it
If my ship ever comes in I might pour a concrete slab and set the safe on it and then build a building around it
I have no need for a safe.
you got snakes
they protect you and yours
I hope it has a back door because otherwise the open back kind of defeats the purpose. Bob
Ya! Ya! The lady in that picture is only 2 1\2 feet tall. 😁
She is using it for her shoe closet!
You say that in jest Brookwood, but I have seen ads with a model from the east (far far east) standing next to the product to make it look much larger.
Danged if I know. Upon reflection, you might be correct. Poor photography, but looking at the top shelf it seems to be shallower than you would expect. Bob
You guys got me wondering so I looked up the company. I couldn't find that exact model but the have safes at $5K+ but nothing exceptionally tall. I suspect whoever did the photo shop of the lady also was playing with us on the right half of the back. It's either a mirror, which I didn't find as a factory option, a photo error, or he was just spoofing us.
That is a real safe from Champion. I saw it on display at the SHOT show about 10 years ago. They also have one outside of their building/warehouse in Lewisberry, PA. It is a minimum of 10 ft. tall.
If she is only 5' tall then this may be the one;
Only holds 300 guns so it is probably not big enough for some of the forum members. 😀 Bob
my youngest son bought a huge old bank safe it was about 8 feet tall and maybe five or six feet square it took a fork lift to load it they used chains and comealongs to pull it off the trailer into his garage . but he sold it off after a few years it was taking up too much room in his garage , he bought some large safe I think its 1/4 or 3/8 hardened full plate steel sides and top and bottom the safe the door I think is 1/2" hardened plate he had to reinforce his floor to hold it .
a gun shop about 40 miles north of me has a huge room you have to walk thru a vault door (looks like a huge bank vault door ) to get into the more expensive and majority of the guns , not sure how big the room is it is but its impressive they have another room(s) with more common and less expensive guns and related items
If that safe is 10 feet tall -
She is only 5 feet tall.
The combination pad is at least 7 feet off the floor.
The presumed top shelf will require a step ladder to access.
She will find it difficult to hold a coffee cup, as her hands are less than 2 inches wide (relative to the 2 1/2" Door Bolts).
Of course, female humans come in all sizes, but why wouldn't they just put a yardstick in her hand? Yea, I know that photo is more impressive (and misleading) IMO.
"Holds up to 300 guns or 144 tons of gold!" Sure. Why not put in over 82,944 revolvers (of the NAA type) - or over 1,000,000 carats of diamonds? Yes, I did the math on the revolvers and the diamonds. Well . . . probably just as accurate as the photo anyway.
How to get it thru the door an not thru the floor.
I imagine you are supposed to erect the building around it . . . much like you do with a walk-in vault.
Since you are going to have to leave it there, you just as well figure it as an attractive option when you sell.
How do you get that thing in a second story walk-up? 😀
Taking into consideration that she is supposedly 5', that safe is what, 6'X3' X 10'.
Flop it on it's side, in the door, up the stairs, PIVOT, up the stairs, in the door.
Easy peasey.
12 guys and a deuce and a half moving Co
All you need is a bunch of golf balls.............lol
Duct that thing up for AC and have one large beer fridge . Long bed dually will haul it. Some HS kids will get it out.
here is a photo of some movers who would help you get to the second floor
