Marccus Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Evening all! I am needing a new safe for my guns 7 to 10 gun size with a lockable top and deep enough to take scoped rimfires. What's everyone using or what would you recommend? Thanks in advance Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumpy22 Posted June 23, 2019 Report Share Posted June 23, 2019 Brattasound ( I think that is how you spell it) but all approved cabinets are good quality now. Seen some reasonable ones on the auction site new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd90 Posted June 24, 2019 Report Share Posted June 24, 2019 I’ve got a cheaper one off EBay, think it’s GMK or similar, 5 gun, and a 5 gun brattonsounds I already had. Much prefer the cheaper one, doors not as thick, much bigger front opening and you have more room to get guns in and out without bumping and banging them on the metal sides leaving dings in the stock.

Marccus Posted June 25, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Thanks for the replies. Has anyone had anything to do with Lokaway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panoma1 Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 Brattonsound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted June 25, 2019 Report Share Posted June 25, 2019 I have a Brattonsound 5 gun extra deep with lockable top and two older 7 gun cabinets by Clay Shooters Supplies of Market Harborough, one with lockable top and one with top shelf. The Brattonsound is not in the same league as the others. They are deeper, higher, much wider (ok, 7 gun not 5), easier to access through wider doors and far roomier than their stated capacity. Unlike the Brattonsound which is awkward to get guns in and out of and very cramped for it’s rated size. Overall, I would not buy Brattonsound again.

Tford Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 Got a big Brattonsound... cannot fault it for basic robustness. Do like the lokaway safes though. Wish Brattonsound done one with carpeted interior and more in the way of storages options, or at least a stick on carpet kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
team tractor Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I can’t fault buffalo river. It’s just simple and works. 2 keys and no electronics on mine and had it years. i was given another out of a repo job that’s great and I just bolted new locks on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 12 hours ago, London Best said: ..... and two older 7 gun cabinets by Clay Shooters Supplies of Market Harborough, one with lockable top and one with top shelf. I also have a large Clays Shooter Supplies cabinet. Excellent and well arranged to get guns in and out without damage, but not wasting space either. It is my second having traded an earlier smaller one (which I outgrew) to the present one - which has been faultless for over 20 years. Uses 2 x standard Chubb type (now branded Union I believe) British Standard approved locks. All good locksmiths know and service/supply spares for these (though I have never needed any). Heavy high quality steel construction. My FEO has been very complimentary about the construction which is apparently heavier (thicker steel) than many he sees.

London Best Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I did once need a locksmith for my first Clay Shooters Supplies cabinet when I lost the keys (on the same ring as Land Rover and house keys). I could narrow down the lost keys to somewhere in about 2000 acres! Naturally, I couldn’t remember the “safe place” where the spare keys were hidden. It cost me £150 for the locksmith to come out and fit two new locks. And, yes, I did eventually find the spare keys, of course! Incidentally, I have had that first cabinet since 1978.

Jaymo Posted June 26, 2019 Report Share Posted June 26, 2019 I have spread out over a few properties Brattonsound take downs and a full size 5 gun, a large INFAC which has a multi point locking mechanism and then the Titan cabinet form the ’Bespoke Gun Cabinet company’ which Uses the 14 gun Brattonsound I believe but as it’s ‘flocked’ I can’t see any details - on detail I really know about it was the impact to the old bank balance. Each feo always comment on it though and it’s like a piece of furniture so not hidden away in the the usual manner. Dont really rhink you can go wrong with any of them these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrelsniffer Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 I have 2 heavy duty buffalo river safes, expensive rifles so bought what i considered very well made, but if i had to look for one now it would have to be one of the Lockaway models.

crj007 Posted June 30, 2019 Report Share Posted June 30, 2019 (edited) Hi A friend of mine new to clay shooting needs a cabinet. Anyone got any suggestions for a cabinet that will hold a shotgun with 32" barrels (probably 33" with extended chokes) without breaking the gun down. I have had mine for years now but when I upgraded to a new 32" gun I found it wouldn't go in the cabinet without breaking it down which is a pain really. Any suggestions much appreciated.
