So usually throughout the year I’ve got my coyote rifle in the truck and come fall I’ll have my 30-30 and a 22 in my truck. I’ve always just laid my soft case in the back, tried the back window but with my 01 and my 04 Chevy they don’t hold that well. My new to me 04 is a crew cab and I’d like my rifle in reach so I’m considering an overhead mount but I had a buddy that had his gun come free on a bumpy road and bust his head. Also considered the seat back mounts and I could do a high one but I have my 6 year old in the back every other weekend and I don’t want leg room taken up if I’ve got other hunters with me. Also looking at the floor mount options, I don’t have a bench in front so I’m considering removing my center console and installing a center rack to hold em.
What does anyone else use? And I’m asking for the serious guys that probably have guns in the truck everyday- ranchers, guides, etc.
And I’d like something secure as I was in a rollover in November and we had been out shooting and tried a deer hunt that day so I had 4 rifles thrown around in my cab and luckily those soft cases and our groceries cushioned them enough that none broke. I’m thinking like a patrol car style gun rack would do that yeah?
