Feets / Collection / My build Filled my first ever gun safe!

So after getting my PAL not too long ago, I was lucky enough to score a decent storage setup at a reasonable price for my babies. And the safe is finally full and im feeling very proud of what is the beginning of my collection.

All im missing now is to get a pump action 12 GA (Mossberg 500 or Remington 870) and a bolt action .308 (Savage 110, Howa 1500 or Remington 700) ill be golden.

Although its not perfect and after seeing some of your collections, mine feels very budget tier. A true gun cabinet for the poors. I still really wanted to share with those who might appreciate the start of a beginners collection.

1st pic is the whole setup

2nd pic is the rifle bay

3rd pic is the ammo storage

4th pic in the comments is the outside of the locker

Get a tikka for your bolt action .308 you won’t be disappointed… I highly reccomend a lever .357 or .44 mag just for fun too. Nice collection

I really need to look into lever actions, its completely uncharted territory for me!

Levers are what got me into it shooting so fun.. iron sights and smiles all day. The .357 / .38 special is fun the 30/30 is awesome the 45/70 just is amazingly awesome

The sakos are the nicest but the tikka is pretty hard to complain about

Get some airtight ammo cases and some silica packs (collect these fuckers trust me) throw one or two in the safe and some in every ammo container, will keep ur shit dry no rusties

u/curry_fiend 21d ago

Ive been stuffing all the loose silica packets in the rifle cases behind the locker since those don't have a dehumidifier but within the locker itself I have a goldenrod going

Sad FPC :(

How are you liking the golden rod? Do you find it helping you?

u/curry_fiend 22d ago

I live in a very high humidity area, so lately ive been noticing alot of stuff rust, and i dont want the same fate for these puppies so this has been a preventive measure so far. I unfortunately cant report beyond that as this pic was taken as of me setting it up.

But I can say that my research has shown that its the most reliable dehumidifier you can get that you wont have to bother refilling/recharging.

I need one too we live on backside of a mountain gets way too humid here

u/Swimming_Impact_794 22d ago

Is that a KR22? If so, how are you liking it so far?

2

u/curry_fiend 21d ago edited 21d ago

Indeed it is! It was so cheap I was curious what a tacticool 22 can do at this price. Haven't had a chance to play with it yet unfortunately

u/Fentron3000 20d ago

Please don’t confuse this with a safe, it’s simply a gun locker. It lacks many of the safety and security features of a safe.

u/curry_fiend 20d ago

You are correct, my mistake, my first locker
