Winchester 26 Gun Safe 6 Months Later The BEST Safe for the Money

[@Plumbarius1965]

I bought the same one last year from Tractor Supply and I am very pleased with the quality for the price. I even got a military discount when I purchased it! The salesman loaded it onto my truck bed with the forklift and I was able to easily take it off my truck by myself at my garage door entrance and put it in place. Combo lock is still working off original 9v battery after opening safe over 1000 times (approx). I going to install led lighting this week and look online for additional tricking out of my safe as well. I highly recommend this safe to anyone looking to purchase an affordable and well built safe.

[@peezy5895]

how did you get the military discount? i asked them and they said they dont do military discount

[@IkfNorCalChamp]

Have you had any issues with your keypad?

[@billjacon4527]

Just bought one from Tractor Supply Company. Love it.

[@IkfNorCalChamp]

Has your keypad went out

[@Ventura727]

Thanks for the video! My 36gun Winchester safe is supposed to arrive in 2 days. I went ahead and purchased the same lights.

[@johnbrown1900]

Just ordered mine tonight. Picking up in the morning and light strips will be here Sunday from Amazon. Great follow up video.

[@juancarlosguillen593]

Since I moved from California to Utah, I got into this hobby again, and my fiancé is gonna get custody of her kids, so I am in the hunt for a perfect safe and I had my eyes on this one. Thank you for sharing this video with us.

[@SC93-85]

These manufacturers should be sued for saying it would hold 26 long guns lmao. Half that MAYBE.

[@BrandonActionJackson]

They all do that. It probably would hold 26 marlin .22s without optics lol

[@Ventura727]

I have always thought that! I’m talking to my wife about getting a Winchester 36 long gun safe. She said 36!? I said just trust me! I have 4 long guns and 5 handguns. I told her it should hold us over for a few years until I save up for the final safe.

[@Patrick-oy1oy]

Why I came to this video, looked at it in store and don’t feel like I could fit 5 of my “long guns” in here

[@Ventura727]

@ I just got the 36 gun safe, same configuration with the ammo on the right and guns on the left. I fit 4 long guns perfect. If I put 5 in there, 2 of them might be right up against each other.

[@davidsmiley4638]

Did you know that the Winchester safe comes with a hidden 3rd key. I was running led light strips behind the Inside framework and at the top right hand corner above the top hinge where the inner frame makes a 90deg turn i felt a small zip-lock bag taped on with a single spare key hidden away from view. I didn't know if it was a fluke so i called 2 friends with Winchester safes from Tractor Supply & they found a hidden key in the same location. So in all reality they give you 3 spare keys in the event of an electronic keypad failure.

[@fu4616]

I'll have to check mine when I get home!

[@davidsmiley4638]

Let me know if yours had it there. Only reason I can think of is if someone lost their keys & forgot their keypad combination, the safe company must have a backdoor code to bypass your combo based off of your SN#, then once your inside they tell you where an extra key is hiding at. 😮

[@dmcgarity]

I bought the 36 gun safe from tractor supply a few weeks ago. I just checked mine and sure enough there was a key there… I’ll be damned!

[@davidsmiley4638]

@@dmcgarity I'm Glad to hear this little tip has proven itself again for someone else! If it wasn't for me "Pimping" my safe with the tape strip LEDs, I never would have ever ran my fingers along that part of the inside frame.

[@DerekScott-m3s]

I got a safe just like it tractor supply a month ago, I love it and great price.

[@Lt-Dan]

Remove bottom brackets, 4 holes for bolting to the floor.

[@anof861]

Just got mine today. I'm going to do the same thing with the lights.

[@Justzeroedin]

I ended up buying one today. Thanks for the recommendation.

[@SanitysVoid]

Got one at costco in 2012 for 549.99 It is a good safe for the money. I almost bought another for my militaria collection but sicne already had this I spent more on a liberty.

[@magnificus8581]

I got the 12 gun version and am very happy with it! Did a lot of shopping and definitely the best bang for the buck! Funny, I got the same lights, too!

[@marcoshernandez563]

I will need to making to brass thin washers with 3/8 hole for door pins hinge rubbing together metal on metal other then that great safe I also make another shelf for mine... too bad I can’t show you guys how mines came out with the an extra shelf can’t even tell besides I don’t have the black leather stitching trim they put on the rest of the selfing

[@MA-lq6eb]

LOOKS GOOD! WHERE DOES IT SAY IT'S MADE? SOME ARE CHINA, PORTUGAL, USA...ETC.

[@magnificus8581]

Sadly, China

[@juliuseaves7176]

I have the same safe. I am more than pleased with it.

[@yeahdude1986]

Good video man. I’m looking to pick one up myself.

[@thirdkunai9547]

I bought the same model a couple of months ago, last week I notice the Handle hub started to get a little bit loose, is that normal? I contacted Winchester and they sent a tech over, he said these safes are supposed to have a little play on the handle, but its not from left to right its more like front to back if that makes any sense... I feel its gonna get worst eventually

[@Autopeezy]

How many inches long is that green ammo can at the bottom? I'm looking at a can thats 12" length and was wondering if it would fit in this safe.

[@BrandonActionJackson]

It is a 12 inch long ammo can as well and could be approximately 3 inches longer

[@stevenhicks815]

Did you fasten it to wall or anything. I drilled couple holes in back of mine and screwed it to the wall

[@stevenhicks815]

One spot I drilled it broke little of the board inside about 3/8” hole! 👎👎

[@BrandonActionJackson]

@@stevenhicks815 I bolted mine the concrete slab

[@zackhaas3267]

Im sure they are fine. But, they are lacking a lot of common security features of a good safe. Only three locking bolts on the opening side is easy to pry, non ul listed lock is unreliable, no customer support, ect. Just picked up a rhino kodiak 42 for five hundred and its 10x the safe. 9 pistol pockets, anti drill plate and relocker, safex system that locks the door to the body on three sides, securam lock, and actual customer service.

[@CasperTheFriendlyGhost777]

Is this brand better than Vital Impact ?

[@HenrikGTI]

Im gonna pick one up this week, thanks for both pt 1 and 2, does it come with the electrical outlet inside? an does it have multiple hook up

[@BrandonActionJackson]

HenrikGTI it does not have an electrical outlet. Check out my video on the lights and get a set off amazon you won’t be disappointed

[@HenrikGTI]

​@@BrandonActionJackson thank you! I was just wondering since i might wanna install a dehumidifier ! great video always cool with a 6 month down, everything looks good out of the box, but can they handle the use!

[@avery6600]

Ik u said 26 is a stretch im looking to get this do u think 20-22 long guns can fit in here comfortably?

[@stevenhicks815]

Which exact lights did you get?

[@jbarres80]

Going back and forth with this vs liberty revere at Tractor Supply wonder if the xtra $200 is worth it for the liberty

[@IAMRUSTEDROOT]

I am too. I believe the Liberty is slightly better. It has an internal hard plate behind the locking mechanism to help prevent drilling. I don't think the Winchester that that feature. Plus, the Liberty has a mechanical lock option, which I prefer. Also, Liberty Safe is made in USA. This Winchester model is imported from China.

[@liamvosefski2795]

Look into the steel thickness of each this one is only 14 gauge which is pretty easy to cut through with basic tools like a sawzall. It really all depends on what you're putting inside. If you're looking to store any serious value inside then you'd want something alot better than both. Ill never get the people with 10s of thousands in guns and valuables looking for the cheapest safe to store them.

@@liamvosefski2795 I ended up getting the Liberty and have no complaints

I am looking at this same safe, was wondering how many long guns do you think you could get into it? I currently have 17 long guns (rifles, shotguns, muzzle loaders) and might add one more. Do you think they all would fit?

[@BrandonActionJackson]

It will be tight... definitely will have to not use the shelves but I’d going to primarily depend on the optics on each gun
