Remington Gun Safes
Curiously, Remington Gun Safes are not made by Remington at all. They are made by Liberty Safe. Apparently, they are essentially the same safes marketed by Liberty, except you have the option of having the Remington Safe name.
Actually, this is not a bad idea. You get a good safe (from Liberty) and a very traditional and historic name brand (from Remington).
There are 6 main gun safe series with 17 different safes to choose. They also offer an extensive array of colors and finishes. Prices range from $800 to over $5,000. They offer something for everyone’s budget.
While there are some differences in the line, the biggest difference is the name of the safe series itself. Here are the rough equivalents:
Remington | Liberty |
---|---|
Sportsman | Centurion (possibly being discontinued?) |
Silver | Colonial |
Magnum | Franklin |
Titanium | Lincoln |
Premier | Presidential |
Fat Boy | Fat Boy |
Fat Boy Jr. | Fat Boy Jr. |
In 2012, Liberty introduced the Revere Series, but this new series is yet to be introduced by Remington. Also, Liberty offers the National Security (aka Magnum) Series, which is not covered by Remington.
For 2012, I dd not find really any changes to the Remington line of products.
Please note that the Sportsman has less locking bolts and sides than the Centurion. Again, if you are comparing a particular safe, make sure you double check each feature. Models can vary and often do from one year to the next.
The other key difference is that, depending upon what finish you choose, Remington Gun Safes are somewhat less expensive than the Liberty counterpart. Please keep in mind that prices change all the time and dealers may not all be created equal in terms of giving you the best deal.
As stated in the Liberty and the Champion gun safe reviews, the pricing tends to be a bit harder to place, given the lack of transparency in the market.
Key Advantage to Remington Gun Safes:
- Warranty: Lifetime replacement or repair warranty if the safe is damaged due to fire or theft. Key differences for this warranty are that it includes shipping (many others make you pay), it is transferrable if you sell the safe and they will pay for someone to open the damaged safe prior to replacement.
Let’s take a look at the individual Series.
Remington Gun Safe Models
Sportsman Series
This is the entry level gun safe series for Remington Gun Safes. It is not as good as the entry level series offered by Liberty. The key
distinction is that for the Sportsman 20, 23, and 30 there are locking bolts on only 1 side.
Obviously, this is not great, amongst other issues. If all you want is entry level protection, a glorified gun cabinet, then
maybe you consider this series. The pricing is as low as $800 for the Sportsman 17 up to $1,150 for the Sportsman 30.
Key Advantages:
- UL RSC Rated
- 30 minute Fire Rating
Models:
- Sportsman 17 (20 gun capacity)
- Sportsman 20 (22 gun capacity)
- Sportsman 23 (25 gun capacity)
- Sportsman 30 (30 gun capacity)
