once the bunker is done you'll have to get through two locked doors to get to it - so I'm guessing at that point short of a bank vault

Have your musket clean as a whistle, hatchet scoured, 60 rounds powder and ball and be ready to march at a minute's warning.

Spending more money on another one may net you fancier options (recessed interior mood lighting, higher temperature fire protection, nicer lining material, exc.), but it wont likely do anymore to stop a thief.

AA batteries are pretty tough, but Stack-on combo safe's take four.  Other brands take 9 volts.  So get one of those to.  Harbor Freight sells hammers for $3.99.  Bring an extra 3" piece of wire pre-striped on the ends (pull it out of anything you like for free, 18 gauge is plenty thick).

Congratulations!  Your now an official "gun safe cracker"!

 Better than I expected, the stack on safes I've seen were the Wal Mart ones for under $100
the best safe or lock in the world will only slow down a determined thief.

All you can hope for is time,,,,that is the enemy of any thief,....

And God won't save them if I get home during,.....Plus, the wife works out of our home and keeps a "surprise" very close during the day.

And of course I have a version of Endcat...

Thomas Jefferson: The strongest reason for the people to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against the tyranny of government. That is why our masters in Washington are so anxious to disarm us. They are not afraid of criminals. They are afraid of a populace which cannot be subdued by tyrants."

As my father recently learned, it does not matter how good the safe is, if it s not secured to the house, they will just take it.
I always break all the clay pigeons,  some times its even with lead.

 Wish I could find the link some one posted when MB was having safe problems.
It showed 2 guys, 1 had a pry bar, the other had a crow bar, they were into a name brand safe in under 2 minutes.

At one of the gun shops I get to occassionally the clerk was telling me about what happened to one of his clients.
The guy came home and found his safe gone and a big hole in the wall.  They had chainsawed around the safe that was on an outside wall.  They found tire tracks and drag marks to the back of his property.  They figured it was then loaded into a truck or onto a trailer.

If they want something bad enough, they will get it.

Your biggest asset is keeping a damn secret.  Guys show up with a chainsaw and a truck knew what was there and were on a mission.  The random house buglar is not going to come prepared to cart off a couple hundred pounds of safe.
