    Need safe advise! First time buyer

    I've owned guns for most of my life, always had the luxury of having a full room to lock them in(walk in safe). Well I'm finally moving out of the city, but it's a small house with no basement. So I'm in need of a large safe. I've got around 30 guns currently but I buy when ever I get a deal, so rim for more is good.
    Any suggestions for a quality safe? What to look for? I'm after a digital lock(unless I shouldn't)
    Favorite brands? Good places to buy near gr(Hoogerhyde)
    Anyone want to sell me one?

    bigger is better. Buy twice what you think you will need, and it might be good for a couple of years. Liberty advertises their safes are superior, and US Mfg.

    No direct experience but someone recommended Hollon safes the other day and I started looking into them. They clearly make some very nice stuff. But it comes down to budget. I am considering one of their smaller high-security safes for my NFA and other special stuff and keeping my nice, but much cheaper and much lower security safe to keep the kids and casual thieves away from more normal stuff.

    Mechanical locks never have dead batteries. & the electrical connections never fail.

    I love my Liberty safe. As suggested above, I went with a mechanical lock. The mechanical lock may not be as fast a electronic, but I just felt they are more reliable. It’s fire rated for 60 minutes, IIRC. The locking bars are plentiful and very solid. It’s bolted to the floor and tight to the wall. It’s very convenient got gun storage and “important papers.” I opted for a pre installed inside electrical and Ethernet. It made installing lighting and golden rod (de humidifier) very easy. I went with a LED light kit that goes along the door frames.

    I just came across Rhino safes... they are very substantial and appear very strong.
