House was already alarmed so a dedicated monitored system for the gun room was installed. I was happy to do it as I had around 100 firearms in my collection plus my obsoletes so protecting my investment was a no brainer, it helped with my insurance too.
Also meant that when I went down the RFD route 'pon retirement 7 years later I had no more to do.
Alarm monitoring and maintenance costs are around the £200 a year mark.

Not sure about a gun room being alarmed, but if I had a gun room, I'd have a very alarmed chequebook.techguy wrote:Is just your gun room alarmed, or the whole house (I understand if you don't want to answer on an open forum!) Also, is it of the red alert type?dromia wrote:Making a gun room was the best thing I ever did shooting wise. Wasn't that expensive £1800 including alarm, or difficult, and was worth every penny.
As soon as the bairn got herself a place at university I had the engineers and the FLO's in straight away. She was a bit outraged but a brief explanation of mortgages and who paid for it soon sorted that out.
Careful now/that sort of thing

The very conversation I anticipate having myself...!

In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Brattonsound now do a matching pair of their latest safe - a left hand hinge and a right hand hinge - just bolt the two together. It does make them maouverable unlike some of the extremely large ones.
