For myself, I like to buy "higher-end" firearms and parts. I feel if you are going to put all that money into firearms, scopes, red dots, etc., mind as well spend a little extra money to protect everything. It doesn't make sense to store your valuables in a case where someone can easily pick it up and take out of your house. For myself, a firearm cabinet does not even cut it. A safe that is bolted to the ground is the only way to go if you have thousands of dollars put into your firearms. A safe is not something you buy, it's something you invest in.
Also. keep in mind that soft cases and foam (inside hard cases) also hold moisture and may not be the best for your firearms. That is why I always take them out of the case and put them back in the safe immediately after getting home from the range.

Fair and valid points but I won't be going that far in terms of a safe for now. I have no idea how serious I'll be with this hobby right now and with a new baby, saving for a down payment I can't justify going crazy. That's why I went a budget economical route with a Norinco CQ-A as well to test the waters. No need spending $1k on a gun before other parts, case, etc etc only to find out meh not for me.
But if one day I get serious, definitely the full safe bolted to the ground and wall type deal.
