Here's the thing about safes Cliff. Unless you are willing to spend at least a couple grand for a serious safe, the best you can do is buy one that will keep run of the mill dirtbags out of it and make it time consuming and noisy to break into. So your choices really are to spend a large sum of money on a professional grade safe, spend somewhere in the $500-$1200 ( depending on the size) range for something fairly decent that will keep most people out, especially if you hide it, place it against a wall and bolt it to something solid, or spend $200 on what is essentially a sheet metal gun locker that my 15 year old nephew could break into with a flat bar. You definitely want one with at least 4 1" bolts that weighs at least 400 lbs empty. Then you want to do everything in your power to make it difficult to find quickly. Then you place it against a wall because most safes you can cut the top off of with a circular saw, so only give them one full side and two partial sides to cut. It's still going to take them a good bit of time to cut through it and it will clearly make a lot of noise.
A couple other tips. Buy a bigger safe than you currently need. I would say the minimum is something like the Winchester 26 gun safe, which is usually in the $400-$500 range. I have one. I also have it's bigger brother. I also have one I won't discuss here which has about the same sq. ft. inside as the 26 gun safe and is difficult and time consuming to get to even by me and impossible to find. And I could use more space. Both my Winchester safes are hidden pretty well, but not as well as the other one.
There are several brands that are easily as good as the Winchesters, but for what they are I would class them all pretty much the same, so get one you like, one with an E lock AND a key lock ( usually under the keypad) and get one in your price range.
I have these two and I have no complaints.
