Side By Side / Shotgun mount/storage for 450i
« on: December 28, 2017, 02:44:45 PM »
Does anyone have any experience with gun mounts or storage on a 450i. In my case specifically over/under shotguns. I will be mainly using my 450i as a shooting cart and would like a good way to transport my shotgun that is both safe for the gun and those around me.
I have been looking at the Kolpin and the Seizmik stuff.
Kolpin -
I would end up using one of THESE U bolted to the X bar -
With THIS scabbard -
And would look something like this when installed.
Pros - Scabbard is nicer with a removable gun rug, lower profile, no drilling holes, more affordable ($160 for one gun)
Cons - i am afraid the mount will prevent me tilting the bed if i put it in the most convenient locations and have it aimed up for safety. Only really room for one gun.
Seizmik -
I would use their X-rack -
With THIS scabbard -
It would look something like this installed -
Pros - Two gun storage, safe (it is at an up angle), bed can still be tilted
Cons - a bit more bulky, spendy ($360+ for one gun)
I'd love your thoughts and opinions! Are there other options i am missing for a scabbard style transport?
Thanks!
