Browning FN Series gun safe

[yooper]

Income tax refund time is rolling around, and this year I'm gonna buy a gun safe. After considerable research, this is what I've found:

The FN Series by Browning has the following specs: 60"x30"x27"; 720 lbs; 10 gauge steel body; 1 5/16" door edge thickness; (14) active bolts that are 1 1/4" in diameter; 3-spoke handle; fully carpeted interior; baked-on, high-gloss finish; UL/IP60 tool attack listing; 1200 F/30 min. fire protection; and a 14/28 gun capacity w/ 4 shelves inside.

Price: $1300 out-the-door and loaded onto my truck.

This is a little bigger than I had intended to buy and somewhat more pricey..... but I figure its a once-in-a-lifetime investment.

Any of you folks out there have any comments/suggestions/advice for me? This is what I want in a safe but I'd like to hear from any and all of you!

Laurie and I bought a safe about 3 years ago and found out the Cannon Safe was about $250 cheaper than the other safes that where the same size. If I remember right we bought a 24 gun safe it came to $1200 with shipping but we got the one with the fancy shiny paint on it. The Fort Knox, The Browning, The Winchester where all the same you just paid more for them (some had a fancier handle to open with but the fire proof and space were all the same).
