I consider the 30-06 a fine 250 yard big game rifle. Its an equally fine Truck Gun....test fit in the hooks looks good.

With the seat back, plenty low, plenty of clearance. Here, looking from the DS side, the rifle installed for a Passenger Side removal. It works equally reversed for a Drivers Side removal (muzzle pointed to PS side). Nice.

I was hopein one day I'd find a use for the 40eleven gun cable locks I have layin around. This one I found the keys for too and its a Remmie Lock...matches my Remmie 700 gun...La La La!

So far the job was pretty much free. A few scrap parts and left over stuff from many projects. Just a bit of time and thought invested. Heres the expensive part...a pistol vault, previously installed behind the seat of Ol John Lee. It was about $20ish quite awhile back. Quite handy to have in case I stop somewhere and need to temporarily secure a handgun. Its an easy install with some good quality screws and/or pop rivets. I route the additonal security cable around behind the vault and secure it to the fuel tank tie down strap.

And with the seat returned to its driving position, nice. I can transport my weapons in my "Trunk" and keep them secure as well.
