Renegade liking the rack on the swamp fox is that just regular 4 wheeler gun racks u got there.

Yep, just plain old 4wheeler gun rack I picked up at tractor supply for $35

Here you can see a .22 in the same el-cheapo gun rack.

... I actually like the overhead idea to

I have something very similar to this in my top. I don't use it. Too far from any center of rotation so it sees a lot of extreme motion.

Apparently there are several makes of .410 hand guns. Some shoot nothing but .410, others a mix of .45 & .410. I don't know how many others are revolvers, tho.

[Hogneck]

and you need a gun for ?

better bring a knife, it's a lot more useful...

Smog a few years ago you may have heard,.. a local man in Ellenburg who worked at NAPA and drove school bus. Well he also was a caretaker for our neighbor hunting club.He was about 2 1/2 miles in the bush at the camp where he was working the ground for food plots . A freek of nature who wandered across the Border stumbling upon the camp ,broke in and found a high power rifle,..shot the local(who we all new well) in the back DEAD! Then proceeded to drag his body deeper into the woods and four days later was arrested on the Mexico Border for double homicide in Canada and for the shooting death in Ellenburg. I have also ran across some weirdos in the bush,one was steeling his child over the Border into CA through 5 miles of wood and swamp,he had a stolen car and stolen plates on the car. Hard telling not knowing how people on the run can act or what they might do. So for the sake of self protection from the lions,tigers and bears.....or maybe just coy dogs ,I will carry always for that one situation in the Woods like I mentioned above.

I shot a Bear that charged out of the bush at me, he came to a rolling stop right at my feet, just about knocked me over. Also shot a couple wolves that took a a run at my kids (fortunatly a friends wife managed to pitch the kids into a truck while buddy and my dog distracted the wolves........at less than 20' from the truck). In all my yrs in the bush, these were the only 2 cases where I felt it was necessary to kill in defence, so my thoughts on the mattere go like this. "It's better to have it and not need it, than to need it and not have it".

I'll just chime in on the gun-rack itself topic. I don't carry anything when I'm riding (I barely make time to ride, let alone find a reason to strap on the old Winchester), but I really like the look of the Hustler factory gun rack. I'm just tall enough that it doesn't get in my line of sight.



I do use the rack to hold my ultimate weapon, though. -My vintage Schlitz bottle opener. Most obstacles, dangerous wildlife, and general bad feelings seem to go bye-bye when I pull it out.

Always a good thing to have for much needed protection!!(the bottle opener that is)

[Hogneck]

ya I know but I am not really into killing anything, but I like shooting and when camping, its usually in the evening sitting around the fire .its fun with the laser site. I also would keep my gun in a case water is not good for the gun I use, but I want to make some kind of mount so it has its place. Also it dosnt hurt to make some noise around camp before bed. If you look at the map my city prince Albert is the last city before the great white north. We have over 100000 lakes and rivers here. Lots of wildlife 2 and four legged lol.

A nice in the cab out of weather rifle rack for deer season would be nice. One that is out of the way so as not to hit your head on .Out of season a simple Sig P229 fits nice on the belt. I have been playing around with ideas for a gun mount in the cab ,my racks hang the gun up right,I like the sideways mount much more. Where would I find these? I will use my old ones to mount an 8 foot boat ore to the side of Six just incase.

Always have the Husky on hand!!

Knife How does 1 cold steel 2 handed Panga, 1 cold steel 17" Kukri, 1 bush axe(to quote Carl "some folks call it a kaiser blade, I call it a sling blade" a Gerber 2 1/2" locker, a 26" customized Collins machete, a Leatherman AND a stanley folding box cutter sound, and they will ALL shave the hair off my arm. And I didn't even mention any of the limb loppers. But hey, I AM the brushcutter ya know...

But I still carry a .22 pistol with me for those "hard to reach" snakes

More extreme than pulling the trigger? Now I fully admit to NOT knowing the extent of the forces generated by pulling the trigger on a high powered rifle, but would have a hard time believing that the forces a rifle will experience strapped to the roof of an Argo would even come close to the forces generated by pulling the trigger. This is not a slam on you John, I'm just curious how you came to this conclusion. I carry my rifles in my Jetboat all the time, and they are subject to all the boats impacts with logs, boulders, ginormouse waves, ect. I have never damaged a rifle yet, to my knowledge.

With what? I take along a Marlin 30-30 sometimes (usually a 45. auto) but would think something like 45-70 would be a little more appropriate in your neck of the woods.

[JohnF]

More extreme than pulling the trigger?

Ah, yeah. The gun rack; not the guns; the guns end up flying about. (you overthunk what I said ) Been bonked on the head, caught rifles that slide out halfway...
Except for scratching and bruising on the outside of the guns I can't say as it's had any effect on their precision.

[rollinrocker]

Aaah. a gun rack. Why didn't I think of that? HA! No bears in the hoosier state but did have a tree make a run at me in the dark as I passed it one night out in search of racoon. Luckily the two inches of barrel hanging out the side of the Argo stopped it's charge but let me with 2 halves of a perfectly good rifle. ( o ya, and the zero was off a bit too) Thanks to anyone who submitted mounting pics!

[turtlecrawler]

Here are some pics of the mounting option I chose to build....I like to have my rifle were I can see it while driving...I wanted a hard case for protection...In Colorado laws state on UTV's and ATV's the rifle must be in a case and unloaded....This option gave me the most useful placement and is still protected from the elements.....
