Sportsman Steel Safes

[Hudgehog]

Anybody have one? I did a search on here and only see them mentioned once. I am on the hunt and I am looking at their Pentagon series double wide's...Thoughts or other suggestions for a 60-100 gun safe?

I don't own one, but I'm also interested in a BIG safe. I'm presently using two cabinets (Homak and Stack-On) and I'm out of room. My daughter lives in the Northwest Houston area, the next time I go down there, I'm checking out their showroom, etc.

Avoid Sportsman Steel Safes like the plague. Recent purchase with them was a months long nightmare.

*Started with sales person who couldnt write an original sales invoice. Kept trying to copy & paste from another sales record and took him 4 tries to finally get it right.
* Specified predrilled holes in bottom of safe for floor mounting. The final safe didnt have any holes.
* Took my money for 50% down. Later, took remaining 50% on the credit card with days delay in actual shipment.
* Safe arrived damaged. Appeared to have fallen off a truck. Had road damage. Hinge broken. Deep deep scratches. Bent combination dial.
* Called customer service and got a ho-hum (whats new?) response. Six weeks go by. No update calls from them. I had to call twice per week to find out status of replacement delivery. Was lied to about status. Found this out when I spoke with another person when my regular contact was not available. They were clearly busted. No apology. Didnt give a ****.
* When replacement safe arrived, truck driver at first laughed then complained about the pallet the safe was on. It was a offsite small pallet that was way too small for the safe. It was crushed. Couldnt get a pallet jack under it. He and I had to wrestle the safe from the truck to my garage. Shoddy packaging. And it had 2 large scratches on front side. Also didnt get the correct door handle.
I didnt want to mess with them anymore. A lesson learned. Safe seems to be structurally okay. Absolutely the worst customer service out there anywhere.

I just bought a Cannon Armory safe with the EMP lock for $1399 at Dunham's. It is huge.They are $1999 regular price. Dunham's has them at this price about once or twice a month. It has the auto light. It is only rated for 30 minutes fire protection though. That is the only thing that I didn't like about it. I am only about 1 mile from the local VFD so I think I will be OK. BTW- if you move it yourself across a floor- use 2 inch sch40 pipe as rollers.
