I’m looking for a gun safe in the 14-16, maybe 20 gun long-gun capacity range, with cheap or free delivery, but my price range is $500-600. Anyone have any experiences with vendors that can take care of me?

Here’s a [Sentry](http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templates/product/standard-item.jsp?id=0032744227405a&navCount=9&podId=0032744&parentId=&navAction=push&cmCat=MainCatcat20712&catalogCode=IG&rid=&parentType=&indexId=cat601048&hasJS=true) model from Cabelas. $269 and about $14 to ship. 16-long-gun capacity.

There’s a 12-gun capacity for $219. For that price you could buy two and still come in less than $500.

Sorry, but I’m actually looking for a safe, rather than a cabinet.
