If it's not easily visible it is less likely to be a temptation for thieves or vandals.

I happened to have a cable left over from a smaller lockbox that I no longer have, so I tried cutting the cable with pliers and then a pair of sidecutters. The pliers were no go, and the side cutters put a dent in the cable, but didn't completely cut it. Now, someone younger and stronger may be able to use the side cutters to completely cut it, but it didn't cut it with my applied force. I didn't try bolt cutters, but I feel sure they would do it. I don't know how many smash and grab thieves carry bolt cutters, but they might, especially since there are small handle models that are easily carried. Since that is a chance, I'd rather not risk it...even though the risk may be low in the locations we visit where I have to lock up my gun.

They don't make a combo lock model that has the shackle. It has a barrel key, which doesn't thrill me, since I wonder if ANY barrel key will unlock the box. I'd prefer a unique key, but they don't offer that.
I did check Walmart, and I didn't see the shackle box model on their site at the price you mentioned. There are other models with a cable at a lower price, but I didn't see the shackle model. That's a really good price if it is for the shackle model!
