So with the Black Friday almost upon us I've decided that I need to jump at the chance to get a little more security for my stuff.
I know there's already another Black Friday Gun safe thread, but I didn't want to derail the OP's thread as my questions are specifically about these two safes.
After doing a bit of looking at the various safes that will be on sale I've narrowed it down to these two.
Tractor Supply Winchester 24 Gun Safe ($550 + shipping/pickup) --> http://www.tractorsupply.com/en/store/winchesterreg;-gun-safe-24-gun-capacity
Costco Bighorn 24 Gun Safe ($600 Shipped) --> http://www.costco.com/BIGHORN-Safe-...-20"D-|-Electronic-Lock.product.11625662.html
Both safes are within my College Student price range ( being $600 MAX), and while I know Dicks Sporting goods has a 32 gun safe for the same price, more importantly these two safe's dimensions fit within the space that I'll be putting it in.
The Tractor supply safe would require me to pick it up, and being a 500lb safe, that could certainly make for an interesting day, while the Costco one at $50 more comes with free shipping to the door. I am able to check out the TS Winchester safe locally, but so far cant find a Costco that has the Bighorn in stock to check out in person.
So I guess my questions are which do you feel is the better value? Also if any of you own either safe could chime in on the build quality of the safe and your opinions of the safe thus far. (I read something about the Winchester being stitch welded?)
