  Browning is a good manufacture and they have many sizes and types available. Browning safes
  The Compact Series seems like a nice one within your budget.

  Check your local yellow pages for locksmiths or safes. The advantage is you can go down and check them out for size and quality, plus they often have used models that might save you some bucks.

  There are some remarkable deals to be had if you look around a bit for used safes. I mean absolutely remarkable!
  
  I gathered that used safes aren't exactly high movers and they take up space and weigh a ton when I was looking.
  
  Mine cost more to have delivered and set up than the safe itself. The actual safe ended up being only about 45% of the final in-place price.

  "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
  John Marnard Keynes, The Economic Consequences of the Peace, 1920, page 235ff

  couple of thoughts to add......buy a safe that is 2x the size you think you need....you'll find ways to fill it up in the future....agreed that a used safe can save you big bucks.....also I dont know what area you are in but if you are in tri state NY I would recommend using Richard Krasilovsky from Empire safe....tell em Jon sent you and he probably will only charge you an extra 5% for dealing with me LOL link to empire website
