      Meanwhile,

      Does anyone have experience with Stack-On Stand-Up Home Defense Safe

      It is being sold at Cabela's for $230. Here's the link to the website and a picture below for reference.

      Just considering the cost and the fact that is a Stack-On I am interested. However, there are lot of critical reviews for this on the internet (Amazon, Cabelas etc).
      Can someone please shed some light on this.

      Thanks

        I was about to suggest to get the combo, but I see you figured that out.
        My first shotgun was a maverick with a short barrel.
        A couple years ago I bought a 28" barrel for it as well, so I could actually use it for practical things. Hindsight being 2020, buying the combo together at the start would have saved some money.

            Remember that no gun safe holds as many guns as the marketing department promises.... 8 gun = 6 at best, 14 gun = about 10, etc....

              Nothing wrong with that choice.

                They advertise them without scopes and optics. So a 8 gun will hold 8 rifles w/o reddots or sights. But once you add a scope, you lose at least 1 extra space.. My guns are piled ontop of each other.

                  I think people spend too much money on gun cabinets, but that's just me.

                    I want to upgrade mine to one of the carpet lined, just to keep the moisture off the guns

                      my 8 gun safe is currently holding 4 rifle with scope, 1 rifle without scope, 1 shotgun without scope, 1 pistol with FF3 and 1 pistol just by itself.

                      I can squeeze in one more rifle/shotgun with scope and 3 more pistol.
