Once I decided to buy a Rhino 450 for my hunting lease I did a lot of WEB searching for a gun rack but all of them I found either mounted on the back of the roll cage or the top of the roll cage and I didn't like that idea so I designed my own bed mounted rack.
I designed it so it is easy put on and take off. It is held in place by just 2 turnbuckles that hook to the front bed tiedown hooks and the front edge of the platform sits on the top edge of the bed rail.
What do you think?

Looks like you put some effort into it.
The rhino at our lease we have a nice soft shell camo bag that goes on the verticle bars od the roll cage. Holds two rifles and a good bit of ammo. Doesn't take up any cargo space

We have one that mounts in the middle of the passenger seat on our Ranger... and another one up top in the high rack.

Nice work.

Thanks, RockinR. I would like to have had one that mounts in the floor and made the rifles real accessable but the Rhino in too narrow for that type in my opinion. I am happy with how mine came out and the fact that it just takes seconds to install or remove when not needed.

Thank you! I have a EZ Go ST350. I bought a gun boot at BPS and have trying to come up with a idea on how to mount it to my dump bed.



coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

Dry Fire, glad to help. I don't see why me design wouldn't work on any dump bed that has tiedown loops in the corner of the dump bed. If you have any questions, PM me.

heres what mine look like. From my cell phone so not great pics. The old style Koplin mount was horrible for the Rhino. The bed would not open and the mount weighed like 80lbs!!. I pitched the heavy steel and used just the boot holders and mounted them to the side rails. It worked pretty sweet. The cool thing is I found the Koplin mount with boots on Craigslist for $40 bucks!!! What a deal! Anyway, it works for me!

I have a Teryx, NRA version, that came with the rifle mounts behind the seat. They are padded, but I think they "shock" the rifle scopes a bit too much on rough terrain... too rigid. I'm trying to come up with a better idea.
