Saw these at an ATV Rally. Quite secure, versatile, and even a locking option. Check out the 1070 and 1070 with key.

wvupsc, I chose to buy the Kolpin gun boots and mount them outside on the roll bar just above and behind the two front doors, out of the way, they stay clean out of the dust etc. etc.
That looks like a well made, top of the line accessory. If I hunted as much as I used to I would likely give that a try. Not sure if I want to invest $200 for using it 1-3 days per year, which is what I normally hunt nowadays.
Edit: I replied to wrong post... I was referring to ScottG's Blac-Rac recommendation.

I've got a set up like this. The two gun case will not fit above the headrests. The case is long enough to be just wider than the frame by about 2" per side. The straps give you enough play that you could let the bottom hang down to the point the bottom will rest close to the top of your dump box. I haven't put a rear view mirror in my 500 yet but I think there is enough space above the case that you would at least be able to see trees in the mirror while backing up, but the case will probably block the view of the box. You will need to loosen some of the straps on your soft back to strap in the case but it works well.
I have not noticed the Honda roof dumping water down the back onto the case, and the case has enough water repellancy to shed all but heavy amounts of moisture. Revive it with some repellant spray every couple years and you shouldn't have any issues.
here is a picture of my overhead Great Day rack.
I've been putting my rifle behind the seat back in a leather scabbard that way it stays out of the weather yet easily accessible

I have a 700, but I went with the Gator Grip (link to site below) behind the driver's headrest. I have been more than pleased with it. It holds my rifles, bow, machete, pretty much any other tool...
I researched a number of options and rolled the dice selecting this one. Extremely simple and effective.

Yep, I don't think the Seizmik was quite that much, but still a little pricey. I have a farm I tool around on with my dog so two seats in front OK most of the time and when I hunt, one passenger is the norm also. It is easy access, quick to get to for that occasional Coyote.

Thanks for showing options fellas. For my usage I’ve typically carried mine on the seat, muzzle to the floor with shorter rigs (short barrel lever guns etc), to keep the dust and keerap off them just throw a coat (rain jacket) over them.
With my other models that I want clean I have a Koplin hard plastic case bungeed into the rear box. works good so far.
Really like the Blac-Rac and could see having that under the roof or on rear inside cab. Just wondering what you guys do to minimize dust intrusion... often time when I’m done ridding all my gear is covered in thick dust and grit.

I use a rigid softcase designed for horse use that you can buy at Murdochs. I mount it right behind the cab or behind the storage box. It will take any size scoped rifle. Much better than hard plastic Koplins. Keeps rifle totally dry and is easy to get rifle out. Comes with attachment straps on it. Is well made and tough because it is made for packing on horses.

Edit - looks like Solrus' rig - I liked the way he has this case on the drivers door...
I added my kolpin to my back rack setup. It's nestled in and feels pretty protected in there. I have the slide in locking base on it so installing and removing the boot takes about 3 seconds. I went this route as I did not want my gun to get dusty being in the cab with me.
what brand of soft doors do you have? I am trying to sort out which windshield, roof and doors to get, and doors seem a bit hard to locate. do they even make hard doors for the 520?

I've got the Honda 520 specific doors - I had the dealer order them when I put the deposit on the machine. Going to attempt to install them this weekend...the instructions don't look to be super helpful, so we will see how it goes.
I looked quite a bit for hard-door options, but the only thing I could find was Alumilite and I didn't want to fork out the coin....
