I checked out both sites, and it doesn't appear that the Bear would meet my needs gun capacity wise and the ArmourVault is just as expensive as the Browning and it has a couple things on it that I don't like. For instance, the ArmourVault has two locks on it, whereas the Browning has 10+ locking lugs on it, which means that somebody would have to be cutting for quite a while to get the door off the Browning safe.
I also looked at Liberty Safes and American Security. My dad and I bought an American Security safe about 7 years ago and I like it a lot. I would buy another one if they offered the duo door system like Browning. I just find it to be a pain in the rear to get guns out of our current safe because they all end up stacked behind each other. With the Browning, I will be able to store my 10 most often used guns on the door so that I can take any single one of them out without having to move any other gun.
Trust me, I spent a couple hours agonizing over this decision because I really do not like Browning. Problem is that they have the dang door patented.
