Gun Safe

Now that I have a shotgun, I need a place to keep it.

Because of space limitations, I need a relatively small safe, nothing larger than a 10 gun safe.

Any recommended brands or features?

Any brands to avoid?

I was looking at the electronic combination safes, but all of them have a key to open them if the batteries run out or you forget the combo. Seems to me it would be much easier to defeat a key lock if you can bypass the electronic bits.

I found an 8-gun safe at Menard's that is Brinks brand, but it is opened with a key, no combo lock. The thing is, the key is in a cross shape. Four sets of tumblers have to line up to open it. It seems more secure to me than the electronic-combo safes...
