I have looked at making one to hold a couple on the floor board. Pretty handy, I have a double rifle case laying in the bed when I go to range down the road. Keep sandbags, chrono, targets, etc in tool box all the time.
What case is that?

Here is a similar case.

WARNING
Not sure I would be traveling with a muzzle pointing up in my face...
Looks like a Daihatsu,
The rifle is carried in that position at all times. Due to the recognized risk, the bolt is always either closed with a fired round in the chamber (as it was when the picture was taken) or with the bolt open. I never close the bolt on a live round with the muzzle inside the vehicle. 100% if the time, never deviate. But I do appreciate your recognition of the potential risk.
Yea mine is a daihatsu, I’ve seen some with racks, canopies, heck even carring a hay roll. They don’t have the nicer things like some of the side by sides but you can find them pretty cheap, 4x4, heat and a/c, dump bed, full steel bed that sides come off for a flatbed

100% spot on JD!The trouble with truck guns these days is that trucks aren't very gun friendly any more. Hardly anyone has a window rack these days, and that's just the start of it. Most truck cabs are built more like the cockpit of a plane than a utility pickup, and the spots where rifles used to lean or lay, hardly exist. Seat-belts hardly used to be "a thing", especially out hunting, and the old bench seat that used to accommodate three or even four people are a thing of the past.
Now it might be argued that two or three bubbas bouncing around in a truck cab with rifles, pistols, maps, beers, smokes, ammo, cassette tapes, gloves and hats, dirty wet socks, a small dog, and a hand-held spotlight -- doesn't present a very good picture of modern sportsmen. And it doesn't. But damn, I kinda miss those days.
Finally someone said "pickup"! When you park a "truck" it makes a PPSSSHH sound.
Thinking that same thing. Truck/pickup. Is it a regional thing or an urban/rural thing or young/old thing? I’m in the “trucks require a cdl” camp personally.
1st off I identify as a bubba, and beers ain't the only thing passed around. LolThe trouble with truck guns these days is that trucks aren't very gun friendly any more.

Elk ain't scared of no diesel, they think it's another piece of logging equipment.
