    I like that there's a tip hazard warning on it. There is no realistic way to tip that thing over without the right tools and/or strong people.

    As to where to install it? A concrete slab is really your only option.

    If you're serious about a TL15 or TL30 (or want to be a high roller and get a TL30x6), check your area for someone that sells used jewelry safes. You can find them for less than half the cost of buying new. You'll have to build/finish the interior, but that means you can customize it to your exact collection. And forget electronic locks. Stick with a good old mechanical lock.

    I like Sturdy, too. But they are not TL rated. They are not even certified as an RSC. Granted, the RSC standard appears to be fairly low and there safes would probably pass.

    From what I'm seeing, most of these used TL safes offer little in the way of fire protection.

    I guess it is all a trade-off. Do you want security and theft protection or insulation and fire resistance?

    Does anyone make a TL30 safe for guys who have just a few rifles and a life?

    A 18x18” footprint is really all I need. I can’t imagine that weighing a ton (literally)

    I haven't seen anything that small. At least not anything that will work for rifles. I'm afraid the problem will be internal useful space. Anything with an 18X18 footprint will probably only be 12X12 or so inside.

    My favorite uncle was a watchmaker and jeweler. I remember a safe similar to the one in this link. I have no idea what brand or what it weighed but I remember it being much smaller inside than outside.

    The same way pyramids were built. A few rollers and it'll move fairly easy. The biggest thing is the physical dimensions to get through doorways and halls.

    You definitely have to do your research. My amvault is rated for two hours at 1850 degrees, with internal temp below 350, for instance.

    You can have your cake and eat it, too, but it will be expensive.

    That's what I find appealing about this Bronwing although I'm not too keen on the idea of Chinese gun safes.

    True, but given the specs on their product they appear to exceed RSC standards. Since I didn’t need fire protection they fit the bill perfectly.
