Building a rifle box... Sealed out of wood. 48"x9"x12" will rhino line outside. Inside all padded and lined with brown felt. Will sit in bed up against front seats much like a toolbox. In building process now...
I used Kolpin Ratcheting Rhino Grips, 2 for each gun. Wanted them under the roof and in the front as I'll "seal" it up with a mid panel.
The brown truck just dropped one off today ! Cabela's has $10 off and free shipping right now. There was enough slack in the mounting straps that I could put it low enough and still see out the rear view mirror.

how fast is getting guns out?
we have birds in the trail all the time and you dont have much before they take off. i usually just have my rifle and shotgun in the case unzipped on the floor propped up against the seat. i want one of those mounts that stands them up but i dont know if anyone makes mounting for the honda yet
Not fast at all. They are sturdy and hold well, but not for you if you want them quickly. You'd have to keep them out.

I think I want a floor mount for the front but one that is easily removed when hunting season isn't going on... suggestions?

I recently purchased the Cabelas double gun case others have. So far I really like it, and I can get it low enough to see out the rear view mirror.
For quicker access I'd seen where someone mounted a ratcheting rhino grips to the dash and let the stock of the gun rest on the floor. I may try this if the Cabelas case doesn't work out well.

For those that have the cabelas gun case. Is there two different compartments for each gun. And is their a pad that is between the two. Just wondering if two guns are in the case how much protection do they have from each other.

It is two separate compartments. The guns go in from opposite ends. Good padding in between. The whole case is pretty well padded.
Ordered the Good day Quickdraw overhead gun & installed this past weekend. A couple of the reviews said it rattled so I did wrap the thread w/ some things insulation I had left over from an a/c job, wrapped that tight w/ electrical tape, no rattle. Feels sturdy, gun season opens Nov/05, 2 mile commute from camp to hunt spot so will be put to test.
Yeah - that's been bothering me too. I didn't think I needed that visibility but I sure miss it when it's gone.
Looking forward to here how the overhead works out and how clean the gear is after a trip.
My buddy had one but he said his gun was too shaky for his liking. So you wrapping is a smart idea.

W/ out delay I can tell you there will be dust on the rifles, just no doubt - everything gets a coat of dust when driving on the dry dirt roads. W/ that said I do keep the dust covers on my scopes as always when not in the hunt. But they will be better protected than riding in the rifle holders that are on my 4-wheeler as they have for my years of hunting.
Follow up using overhead gun rack. Put the Goodday Quick draw through the paces last weekend from carrying both rifles for the 5 mile round trip to the blind to carrying both rifles during traveling the property to check other sites w/ some rough & challenging terrain. Was pleased w/ the security of the rifles staying put - oh man the dust that covered them. Now in defense w/ it being cooler temps I did close my split windshield & did notice much more dust rolling in from our back for a though dusting of ourselves & all inside the cab. After cleaning the rifles For this weekend attached the Cabellas soft case so as to not repeat but did order the fabric back cover / window. Thinking that will help, if so a worthy $130 investment for the long haul to me.
