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!

Here is the mfg website - WEBSITE

And here is a install video that shows how it pivots out of the way to get under the 'hood' - VIDEO

I will use my 450 mainly as a shooting cart (Sporting Clays) so my rear area will have two Kolpin shotgun cases and i shlep ammo for at least 4 people so I thought about adding the front rack for flexibility when i want to take a cooler, or similar.

Anyone used one of these on a 450i?



I am thinking of using it with Kurt's front brush guard.

Thoughts?!?
