Quick Answer: Cabela’s doesn’t sell open-market safe brands — its entire gun-safe wall is a private-label lineup built for Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops by Liberty Safe, running six tiers from ProVault (30-minute fire rating, entry-level) up to Magnum (2.5-hour fire rating, top security). Prices range from roughly $499.99 for a 10-gun fire-resistant model to $1,349.97+ for a 48-gun Classic E-Lock safe. Because Cabela’s and Bass Pro merged in 2017, both storefronts carry the identical catalog at the identical price — you’re never actually comparing two retailers when you check both sites.
“Cabela’s gun safe” pulls over 3,600 monthly searches, many from shoppers assuming they’re choosing between competing brands on the sales floor. In reality, nearly every safe Cabela’s sells comes from one manufacturer under Cabela’s own naming system. We confirmed the Liberty relationship directly from Liberty Safe’s own site (cabelas.com and basspro.com both block automated access) and priced current models via third-party retail trackers and dealer listings.
What’s really on the floor
| Cabela's series | Sizes | Fire rating | Security level |
|---|---|---|---|
| ProVault | 12, 18, 24 | 30 min / 1,200°F | Level 1 |
| Outfitter | 25, 30, 48 | 40 min / 1,200°F | Level 2 |
| Classic | 25, 30, 48 | 60 min / 1,200°F | Level 3 |
| Signature | 25, 30, 48, 50, 64 | 75 min / 1,200°F | Level 4 |
| Ambassador | 24, 50 | 90 min / 1,200°F | Level 5 |
| Magnum | 40, 50 | 2.5 hr / 1,200°F | Level 6 |
Cabela's Fire-Resistant 10-Gun Safe
- Sits below the six named series in the table above — Cabela's smallest and cheapest dedicated gun safe, aimed at a single-cabinet or closet setup rather than a full collection.
- Palusol heat-expanding door seal and full fireboard lining on ceiling, walls, door, and jambs — a higher fire rating (45 min/1,400°F) than the entry-tier ProVault series above it, despite the lower price, because it's a smaller box with less steel to protect.
- For a similarly sized safe with a wider brand selection, see our best small gun safe roundup.
A full-size safe from Cabela’s ships freight and gets scheduled separately, but the bolt-down kit, dehumidifier, or spare lock you’ll want on day one doesn’t have to wait for it — a free 30-day Amazon Prime trial gets those smaller accessories to your door in two days.
Cabela's Classic Series 48-Gun E-Lock Safe by Liberty
- The dial-lock version of the same body uses 11-gauge steel and a mechanical 3-point chrome handle instead of the electronic lock, at a lower price point but the same 60-minute fire rating.
- One tier down from Signature (75 min) and two down from Ambassador (90 min) — stepping up a tier inside this lineup buys fire time more than it buys capacity, since the 48-gun size repeats across Outfitter, Classic, and Signature.
- For the same capacity from a brand sold outside this one retail chain, see our best large gun safe guide, which covers Liberty's own Centurion and Fatboy lines directly.
The Liberty connection
Cabela’s doesn’t operate its own safe factory, and none of its six named series — ProVault, Outfitter, Classic, Signature, Ambassador, Magnum — are Cabela’s own brand in the way “Redfield” is Academy’s house brand. Liberty Safe’s own website states plainly that these lines “are only available at Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shops,” built in the U.S. and backed by Liberty’s standard lifetime warranty. That’s a meaningfully different arrangement than a private-labeled overseas import: you’re buying a real Liberty safe, just under exclusive retail-only model names that don’t cross-reference to the Centurion, Fatboy, or Presidential names Liberty sells everywhere else — which makes side-by-side spec comparison against non-Cabela’s Liberty safes harder than it should be.
Should you buy from Cabela’s, or elsewhere?
Buy from Cabela’s/Bass Pro if you want a genuine Liberty-built safe with in-store pickup, a straightforward 60-day return window, and don’t need to cross-shop the exact model against other retailers (you can’t — these lines are exclusive). Look elsewhere if you want to compare Liberty’s mainstream models directly against Fort Knox, Vaultek, or Stack-On under names that are searchable across the whole market — see our Liberty vs. Fort Knox comparison, or our Tractor Supply and Costco guides for what those chains carry instead.
The bottom line
Cabela’s gun-safe wall is really a single manufacturer’s lineup — Liberty Safe — sold under six exclusive tier names running from ProVault’s 30-minute fire rating up to Magnum’s 2.5-hour rating, priced from about $499.99 to $1,349.97+ depending on size and lock type. Because Cabela’s and Bass Pro merged in 2017, checking “both” sites for a better price is checking the same catalog twice. If you’d rather compare Liberty against other national brands under names that show up at multiple retailers, Liberty’s mainstream lineup is available on Amazon for direct comparison.
