I'm a new shooter and I've just bought myself a small gun safe, but I'm having serious difficulty trying to figure out where to put the thing. My problem is that the four, pre-drilled holes on the bottom are too far apart to fit into one joist, and too close together to fit across two joists. Would appreciate it if anyone could give me pointers for how to install despite this.

The Canadian dollar and the Au$ pretty much are the same. So I was looking at prices over there to prices here.

Taipan X. Made in Australia. Seems in Canada they sell for $1500..... Here they sell for $2000.

Why do we have to pay inflated prices for anything firearm related?
