I have this safe. With rifle rods and pistol hangers I got 20 modern rifles all but 2 have optics, scopes and pistol grips + 13 pistols. Rifle rods are a must. Without them I only got 13 rifles in this safe.
My local TSC tapes the manuals in the bag to the top of the safes. This one has a backup key. Twist the combo pad off and the keys where in the bag. Let myself look inside. Lol.
Awesome video brother, but if there is ever a manual with the safe at the gun store there is a standard factory code in it to unlock it to check out the inside
Yeah that's very true tractor supply in Marion North Carolina has some really cool employees the one in Boone North Carolina on the other hand their employees won't give you time of the day. But if you're ever in North Carolina there's this really cool store called prices Creek in Burnsville North Carolina they have their safe you can look inside. And thank you so much for commenting really really appreciate it
I wasn't too sure which one me and Melissa wanted. Nobody would open them for us and let us look inside until that night we went to Tractor Supply in Marion and the employee there opened it up and let us look inside. He even helped me load it and everything, very nice employee.
Almost got the same safe but ended up going with a Liberty for a few options the other "budget" safes did not have. Lifetime Transferrable Warranty Made In USA Internal hard plate to help protect lock against drill attacks External re-locker for extra punch protection Palusol door seal 4-inch military-style locking bars - Stronger than traditional round pins Plus, I am not a fan of digital safe locks. The Liberty I ended up going with had an option for a dial/mechanical lock.
@@NevilleTheWizard That's your opinion. You should go watch a video of them trying to pry one open with those military style locking bars, compared to the traditional safes with round lock bolts.
I've seen other videos where they add a strip of LEDs around the inside of the door, works really well to light up the safe. I did the same thing except I ran my LEDs to a 12v battery. They are fairly common batteries. It's the kind they use in ride on toys for kids, power wheels and what not. They also use them for backup power supplies in home alarms. They are relatively small and inexpensive. I also picked up a charger/maintainer for the battery. There's also a switch I installed on the wall of the safe to automatically turn on or turn off the LEDs. I don't like motion sensors. I figure if the power goes out I will still be able to see easily into my safe. (Also if you're interested: most LED strips are going to be 12v DC. Find the wattage of the LEDs you want to use and divide by 12 to get the amperage. Then determine how long you would like to keep your LEDs powered by the battery. Or if space is an issue you can figure how long a particular sized battery will power you LEDs. For example: I used a 24 watt strip of LEDs. So, 24w÷12vdc=2amps. I have a 5 Ah battery. This setup should power my LEDs for 2.5 hours. Maybe I should have made a video, lol.)
Just a suggestion, I have the same safe and ordered from Amazon a product called storage solutions. And you will be surprised at how many more guns you can fit safely in your safe.
Just make sure yours has the keyed entry some models doesn't have that feature mine has worked fine but just remember this is a cheaper safe this keeps kids in your family from getting hurt not a professional Thief from getting into it if you're in a rougher neighborhood I would say spring at least for a $2,000 safe and make sure you bolt it to the floor thank you again for watching brother PS they are a lot of cool aftermarket stuff you can get for this safe
Great review. Have you looked into the pistol hanger hooks they make for the shelves? It would free up a lot of room and make your handguns more accessible.
I got the same safe Christmas 2022 and in 2023 I had to call Winchester, because the motherboard went out. The lady had my to go to there website and I had to do all the paperwork to get them to send me a new motherboard and I did everything the picture showed then it wasn’t 2 days later I had to do it all over again good thing is the second one worked
I'm glad you got that straightened out brother mine has so far worked pretty good I know one thing people should never buy the one that doesn't have a key entry
You turn counter-clockwise that's all there is to it brother pretty handy having the keys in case the batteries or something goes wrong thanks for commenting brother really appreciate it
@@thor1911. Thanks for the quick reply man and the info, really appreciate it. Was looking at one last night, 36 gun on sale for 599. Woke up and it was back to 799.... ha.
Winchester gun safes are great safes but i will tell you in 4 or 5 years the push button lock will go out on you and you pray to God it opens up one more time for ya.It happened to me and now im ordering a new push button lock.No complaints but just an FYI,read the reviews.....
Dude that really sucked but mine has the keyed entry encase the pad goes out they must have a lot of issues so they added that feature thank goodness read the reviews the new model have keyed entry so your never locked out and make sure you look behind the keypad yours might have keyed entry
Does the gap in this concern you? Learned about the better safes have a small gap so it cant be pried open. You make a great point though, you are buying time. I cant fit a safe much bigger than this. Seriously considering this.
It does concern me a little bit brother I live in a pretty good neighborhood my biggest concern honestly is my kids keeping them out and their friends I get where you're coming from if I was in a rough neighborhood i definitely consider a more expensive safe but like I said my children are the main worries I have. and thank you so very much for commenting we really appreciate it
Best ways to help prevent someone from prying a gun safe open. Bolt it to the floor. If possible, place it in a location where it has the back and sides covered by walls. For example, mine sits in a closet with only about 5 inches clearance on both sides. No way anyone could get a crowbar in and do any prying.
@@PANDA-PANDA59 Love it, put a damp chaser in it, used the hole the bolt came through bolting it to the crate. Plenty of room for my long guns and most the pistols.....
Absolutely Amen to that brother moving this darn thing gave me a hernia LOL I would hate to see how hard it would be to move one of those big guys.thank you so much for commenting it really helps the channel
Ditto on light idea. Very nice safe. The TS in our area needs to take a lesson on customer service from the guy in Marion
That's right John that guy was super nice and he helped us out a lot that night and I absolutely love this gun safe
I have this safe. With rifle rods and pistol hangers I got 20 modern rifles all but 2 have optics, scopes and pistol grips + 13 pistols. Rifle rods are a must. Without them I only got 13 rifles in this safe.
Are you also one of them people commenting on tractor supply on how bad this safe is too hmmmm
The light is a great idea
How's it holding up followup video please 🙏
Might just be the best safe for the price point.
I think so as long as you get the one that has keyed entry there's one model that does not avoid it like the plague

Good looking safe. I need to get one sometime soon.

Nicely done thor
This is a really good gun safe for the money

That sounds like a really good safe for the money brother
Hate to burst your bubble dude but those military grade locking “bars” are a gimmick. They arnt much stronger than traditional bolts
@@NevilleTheWizard That's your opinion. You should go watch a video of them trying to pry one open with those military style locking bars, compared to the traditional safes with round lock bolts.
How much did you end up spending on the liberty? I’m looking for something

damn man you packing some serious heat, good video as always my friend
👍
Man that means alot to me and Melissa we sure do appreciate you watching.
@@thor1911. yeah buddy no problem :) you both stay safe in these troubled times, Godbless 🙏
@@KaiserWilbur we appreciate that brother
Wow. I thought I was the only one with a katana in my safe.
I love katanas or any kind of Sword actually and thank you so much for commenting brother we really appreciate it
Just a suggestion, I have the same safe and ordered from Amazon a product called storage solutions. And you will be surprised at how many more guns you can fit safely in your safe.
Thank you brother I will definitely check that out thank you so much for watching
Love Winchester
Looks great. In nn 649.00 out the door…my only question the locking mechanism?…1 yr warranty!!!

Wow nice collection 👌
Thanks brother appreciate it
Nice video man. Definitely gonna pick one of these up in a couple of weeks. My gun collection has increased and definitely need one now lol.
You definitely can't go wrong with this safe for the money and thank you so much for commenting brother we really appreciate it
Can you remove the top shelf or is it permanently fixed ?
you can remove it
@@thor1911. thank you :)
Yep getting me one.
You can't go wrong with it brother appreciate the comment
Great review. Have you looked into the pistol hanger hooks they make for the shelves? It would free up a lot of room and make your handguns more accessible.
No I haven't but I'm going to now thank you for the tip brother appreciate it

How does the key part work? You just pop off the key pad and put in a key?
You turn counter-clockwise that's all there is to it brother pretty handy having the keys in case the batteries or something goes wrong thanks for commenting brother really appreciate it
@@thor1911. Thanks for the quick reply man and the info, really appreciate it. Was looking at one last night, 36 gun on sale for 599. Woke up and it was back to 799.... ha.
just paid 542 out the door from my local tractor supply. What did you pay? (Oct 20 2023)
I think I paid a similar price to yours brother
Winchester gun safes are great safes but i will tell you in 4 or 5 years the push button lock will go out on you and you pray to God it opens up one more time for ya.It happened to me and now im ordering a new push button lock.No complaints but just an FYI,read the reviews.....

When you buy these safes what is the code you use to first get into them
It's typically 1 2 3 4 5 6
Does the gap in this concern you? Learned about the better safes have a small gap so it cant be pried open. You make a great point though, you are buying time. I cant fit a safe much bigger than this. Seriously considering this.

@@IAMRUSTEDROOT that is one of the best ideas I've heard brother thanks for sharing and thank you for commenting we really appreciate it
Good video man!
I really appreciate the kind words brother and commenting it really helps the channel
How many backup keys did yours come with? Really considering picking one up soon.
It came with two keys 🔑 brother
Nice safe man I have the same one
Thanks brother it is a really good safe for the money and in our business you gotta have something to keep other family member safe
@@thor1911. definitely
What are the two tabs screwed into right side of opening for?
They have more accessories you can buy if you want to Shell out the cash for it thank you for watching
On sale right now $50 off.........thinking about getting one.
What did you move it in the house with?
Me and my brother-in-law picked it up and carried it in the house but a hand truck would do the job too
How do you like the safe thinking on getting the same one
@@PANDA-PANDA59 Love it, put a damp chaser in it, used the hole the bolt came through bolting it to the crate. Plenty of room for my long guns and most the pistols.....
Better to buy 2 of these than 1 large safe at double the price. Moving a 600 lb. Safe is nearly impossible, especially in tight spaces or stairs.
Absolutely Amen to that brother moving this darn thing gave me a hernia LOL I would hate to see how hard it would be to move one of those big guys.thank you so much for commenting it really helps the channel
Marion?? small world
Did you say you paid $500 for this safe ???
Local Tractor Supplies 500 and some tax
Sure why not. Probably nearly as good as gas station sushi.
Thank you brother I appreciate it everything in life depends on how much you willing to pay lol
