How am I just finding out about this? I gave up on using the under seat storage now that I added a 2nd car seat. How do you like this? Do you just uninstall the plastic ford storage and drop this in?
Thanks for the info, just ordered.

Too expensive for me but this is exactly what you described and what I was looking for as well.

Watch letting it ride against the console in the passenger seat without a case....scope will nock the fancy paint off the console on passengers side on ruff roads...ask me how I know.
Had to start using under the back seat...not as convenient so went with something with a little more range due to longer reaction time to get on the scope...just make sure you get the muzzle out the window foe the shot..
...the glass you save may be your own.

I have been eying the new Decked Minuteman 80. One of my Decked Drawers in dedicated to truck stuff and this could go in the other side. Plus the cap makes it even more secure.

I want the decked system or a cool bed cap…but I cant due to 5th wheel and being lazy.
The only time I’ve shot a 50 was about 12 years ago. At the time I had been dabbling in LR for about 2-3 years, and had a few custom rifles built by then. A buddy brought his Barret M107A1 to an annual “hunt” that I put on, and set up the entry target at 740. He gave me his dope, and I guessed on wind. Center punched the target with a 750 Amax, and never saw the target again…… that weekend. It swung off the chains into the snow. Buddy that owns the place text me last year, and told me he finally found the target lolWatch letting it ride against the console in the passenger seat without a case....scope will nock the fancy paint off the console on passengers side on ruff roads...ask me how I know.

Every time I just about convinced myself in to getting a shell...I need my truck for something I would have to take it off...3 yrs in still don't have one...
yep, just unbolt the oem storage and this bolts in to the back of the seat supports. i had to get it for the same exact reason, two car seats = no more under seat access. had it for a few years, it's ok. wish they did ball bearing sliders, when it gets loaded up it's hard to slide. but i just greased it up and got used to it. not a ton of options out there for this sort of situation. it's lockable which is nice too.

Thank you. I will definitely look into this.
Fortunately, they make cases and racks. I can’t afford to ruin my rifles and optics, but even if I could, I respect them as a tool, so I treat them with care. I don’t care how they look, but I do care how they work and I want them to last.We’ve tossed $6-7K rifles in the bed of our UTVs and then proceeded to run down hogs with them bouncing aroundI don’t care if they’re pretty as long as they work. If they survive that they’ll be just fine bouncing around on cushioned seats or soft floors.
If I’m just transporting them and don’t require quick access my rifles are in hard cases. If I need quick access and they’re not carried or slung, I have them in racks or scabbards.
Some of you will recognize this:

The .50 Barrett is an awesome rifle. That heavy bullet retains an amazing amount of energy at 1000 yards.
If you haven’t seen the video of the guy who has a ricochet knock the muffs off his head it’s worth a watch. He was a Darwin Award competitor, but God saved his life.
