Title basically says it all. I'm looking for a nice/good wooden gun cabinet/case that I can put my rifles and pistols into. I'm not looking for a safe (NH doesn't require keeping things under locks, and I have no children here). I'm not opposed to having a pair of cabinets to hold what I have (and expect to get over the coming few years). Which means capacity for about a dozen rifles and a dozen pistols. I have a space that's about 4' wide (at 6' height) where this can be placed. If two, then I have more placement options.
I'm not looking for something that's made with pressed wood. Solid wood construction only. I'd prefer hardwood, but willing to consider others (as long as it's solid and nice). If there's a custom maker that someone knows about (that does good work), I'd like to know. Willing to travel up to [around] an hour from Pelham, NH to get this. Would prefer someone based in NH (no sales tax ) but could consider going into the PRM or into ME if needed.
I looked online a bit and see that Cabela's has something in the range of what I'm looking for, but I'd prefer to not shop at one of those stores. Hoping that I can keep this to no more than a grand either for all the guns, or at least the rifles and then get something for the pistols that could be a lower cost.
If I get this from a store, I'll probably do something to put electricity inside (outlets) so that I can power a dehumidifier as well as LED lights. If custom made, I'm sure I can get the hole(s) placed into it for that easily enough. Where I'm thinking of placing this, there's electrical outlets in that same area. If I go to the secondary location, then I'll probably need to run an extension cord (no outlet on that wall).
I've already sent a message to Q-Line Design about this. Q is out getting his master's degree for the next several months. So it would probably be a year before anything would even be planned. I'd rather not wait THAT long. Especially since most of my guns are sitting in carry cases right now (sold my old gun cabinet/safe a while ago).
