I keep my collection in a large gun safe also. Mine was about $1300 on sale. The salesman suggested to buy one larger than what I thought I would need. This was wise advice. I could still use more room. There is always something that your wife or someone thinks needs locked up. I keep a copy of the combination with someone outside the home who I trust. If you have or decide to get one of these, its a good idea to use somekind of dehumidification device in it. Its also a good idea to get a safe that has a Fire Rating. I paid more than what I could have gotten by with, but am very glad I did.
