[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 94181, member: 11"] In my oppinion there are NO suitable gun carriers on the market for a longer and more expensive rifle. PERIOD. I have considered every one of them I could find on the web with no luck. As a result this last deer season I transported my rifle in a heavy plastic clamshell type case and bungied it to the front rack. It does add width and it was somewhat slow to get the gun out but it wasn't too bad and it did protect the gun. But that was a quick fix. Not a solution. I have some ideas on the subject that I think are more reasonable that afford a high level of protection for whatever size gun you want to carry but I'm going to try to make a few prototypes and then hopefuly a few bucks with them. (fingers crossed) In the meantime try making a mount that looks like lower case [b]y[/b] so the rifle rides at or slightly behind the rear of the front rack but not in the way of the handlebars. Then make a rectangle frame that is big enough to go around the total profile of your gun and a little more. Weld some expanded sheetmetal to it and mount it to the rack firmly so it will run interference for your rifle against twigs and branches. Then just follow rule #1. (don't drive like an idiot) This will mess things up for handlebar mounted headlights but that is what my other idea solves. Good luck and dont be afraid to fire up the welder to make what you need or at least buy a 6 pack for the neighborhood welder if you can find him. The market is chock full of gear that is for those who never really (REALLY REALLY) use it. Espcially for ATVs. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] And FYI I am a (walking) dissabled hunter and I DO hunt from my ATV at times. Permit and all. I need the gun holder you are talking about. What part of Idaho are you in? I'm in the Boise area. [/QUOTE]
