Old Glory Safe vs. Iron Works

[dbransco]

I have been wanting to pick up a safe for awhile now and have kept holding off because ultimately I intend on building out a safe room with safe door; however, life continues to push that date. I am looking at picking up a safe for the meantime and am looking at Iron Works and Old Glory. I really don't need anything massive; looking in the 60"/72" x 40" x 33" size (approx. 30-50 gun safe). Anybody have experience comparing these brands? I am open to other suggestions; however, I do like Old Glory's 2 hr. 1800 degree and Iron Works 130 minute fire ratings. They are also both very stout in regards to body, door thickness, hinges and so on. I was really leaning toward the Iron Works until I came across Old Glory and truthfully their price interested me. Any feedback would be much appreciated.

I dont have experience with either of those brands, however I will say that you should the largest one that you can afford. Scopes take up as much room as 2 guns.

I also have no experience with those brands but I highly recommend going 72 inches tall. That allows a little extra room for a top shelf.

If your not to worried about looks I would suggest that you take a look at SturdySafe. They are an excellent bang for your buck maker.

Thanks for the suggestions!
I am about a year and a half away from settling/building and have begun thinking a little differently as well; thinking that buying a safe just to move or have moved in a year may not be smart. Watched a couple video reviews and was wondering is there any validity to the argument that safes being insulated with potentially heavy urea causing corrosion? Also, is there any point to something like the Secure it cabinet? The video reviews I watched had some valid points about easy to move, easy to place near bed or other preferred location and good to keep children or general house guess from accessing your firearms.
If anyone has experience with the Secure it or similar cabinets, can you get a couple scoped long rifles in it? I have a couple AIs with 27” barrels. They should come in at 50” oal unfolded. Seems like it might be cutting it pretty close on the 52” cabinet.
