Truck rifle carrier
Hi folks.
Im curious what everyone is using for holding long guns in the truck. I have a 2018 crew cab so often the rifle is on the back seat on the way to the hunting grounds. Which isn’t really ideal, but doable. The real issue comes when my son and I are headed out after birds. 2 guys, 2 shotguns and an excited chesepeake on the back seat. I have seen cabelas and others advertise a stand up rack more meant for side by sides and I’m contemplating buying one to try to mount in the pickup. Maybe there’s a better option? I miss the days of them in the back window Thanks |
I have the 3 gun one(can't remember the name) that fully encases the guns and runs along the back of both front seats of my crewcab F-150. Put it in 3 years ago and it hasn't left. Very handy for not only guns but fishing rods, shooting sticks etc. Especially glad I got it now that both of my kids are hunting this year....:)
It's similar to this one..... https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB149ZpO..._Q90.jpg_.webp |
The stand up stand may not work in a pickup with some rifles/shotguns as they may be too long and contact the roof.
I would suggest the type suggested in the post above me. |

No experience with them but check out du-ha storage systems. Eyeballed one for similar reasons just wasn't ready to commit to loosing the floor space.

I have the same style, behind the front seats. Holds 2 guns, one on top and one on the bottom, gun pouch zippers up and out of sight. And then lots of pockets in the middle for other things. It’a great, mine came from Gregg’s through work.

Thanks for the advice.
I’ll look into one across the back of the seats. And good heads up. I just measured and yeah, I could barely fit my coach gun vertically in the front never mine a rifle or full size shotgun Cheers |

I always thought that the guy riding shotgun held the firearm, you know, for those snap shots over the mirror.

Could see about getting one geared more towards police vehicles?
https://www.tufloc.com/professional-...cle-gun-racks/ https://santacruzgunlocks.com/ They have options for muzzle down, vertical and horizontal across the ceiling mounts. I would suggest if you go that way get the handcuff lock style. in my experience they are easier to use. Of course you could also look for a safe under the seat like this. http://bedgunsafe.com/truck-bunker/ Lots of options for safes under the back seats. |
I have this exact type. Got it from princess auto years ago. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...9d895fd8d4.jpg

off the shelf versions I have used.
https://www.ramforum.com/attachments...60-png.470023/ Aside from the front sleeve the one I had the place in Calgary added three sleeves on the back too. https://www.ramforum.com/attachments...56-png.470025/ If I end up having to get a custom one for this truck I will post pictures. Still hoping I can locate a stock one built the way I want. Obsesseds version leaves the centre stack uncovered but I prefer the guns to be completely out of sight. Might make a usable pattern though. |
I have 1 here that never gets used. It is for 2 rifles with lots of pockets and pouches if anyone is interested. PM me your number for a pic via text

When you guys are buying these pay attention to the build quality. A good one with quality zippers, big enough pockets for a scoped rifle, strong enough to hold the rifle in place without being zipped up etc is going to cost you a couple of hundred. The 40 buck versions off of Amazon are not nearly the same thing and are basically junk.

As a boy I remember having rubber coated metal hangers on the rear window of the pick-up that held three rifles. I believe these have been outlawed but I am in the market for a couple of pairs if anyone has (or knows someone who has) that I can purchase. I have two sets that I hang my fishing rods on the wall in the den but I could use more.
