Which ATV Gun Case?
 

I now have a gun rest on the front of my ATV. It is the rubbered fin type and the gun and stock stick out the side of the ATV rack a little bit. Every time I go over mud it flings on my gun. Can anybody give me advise on a gun case that will prevent this? My gun is a Weatherby Vanguard witha 2x9x50 scope. Most gun cases will not fit my scope in them without problems.

kolpin makes a very good gun case that completely covers the gun

I don't know where you have your gun rest mounted, but I suspect it's on the front rack if you're getting mud on your rifle. Move it to the handlebars and you won't get any mud on your rifle. Those gun cases look fancy but one would only last about 200 yds from camp before I'd have the thing ripped off hanging on the side of a tree.

the gun cases do not stick out. it is even with the body of the atv.i have had one since 1999 and have never snagged a tree. sorry but you were misinformed.

I have the finned rack on the front of my atv and have never had a problem with mud on the gun or bows . It is as far back as I can get it and is very handy to carry things like an ax or brush cutters . I originally got it to carry my bow in and not for rifles ,but it works well with both of them . I tried the Koplin case but it was always in the way for me .

I only have a problem when transporting my long gun. When I bring my short gun (brush gun) it is not a problem. The long gun sticks out from my rack about 2"-3" on each side. I do have it back towards the handle bars. I was going t move it forward.

i transport my scoped long gun on the kolpin system. keeps it from rain and other things that might scratch the gun. i have never snagged a tree or anything else with the system.i hunt a ways from our cabin . it protects the gunb during bad weather. it keeps water from entering the barrell.i have 2 sets of the systems. if you would like to purchase one let me know.

LAbushman, your post seems to indicate that your gun rest is mounted on your front rack, it needs to be mounted ON your handlebars, then your gun won't collect mud. Dep214, I am not misinformed, I know how the kolpin system mounts. The gun case may not stick out to the side of the atv, but it still does stick up and around here it will catch on something before long. The woods we hunt are unbelievably thick and we take the atv's through most of them. I've ripped two gun racks off of my atv already, that kolpin system wouldn't last for a week.

Well I have used the Koplin system for the last few years & have never had a problem with it....if your Koplin has been ripped off your ATV then buddy you have a real problem & probably shouldn't be driving where you are..<img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>...I now my system fits snug to my ATV & i've been throught some mighty thick bush with no problem....go with KOLPIN!!!!!!!!!!

i hunt a area of east texas that is extremely thick. i also hunt a area of central that is thick. i have never had my kolpin snag anything. the fenders of my 4-wheeler prevent that. the fenders catch everything. the kolpin sits towards the back and is shielded. you are for sure misinformed.

I ran a Kplpin for five years on my Honda and it stays just behind your leg and inside the wheelwell so no problem ripping off and I run really rough terrain. I threw it away a few weeks ago when I noticed it had rubbed the bluing off my Binelli!! Also it threw my sights off on my muzzlegun.

i was thinking about how the case rubbed a spot on your gun. all i have seen have a good lining inside . i have some nice browning rifles and i also put the rifle in a gun sock. i have had my kolpin since 1999 and have never had that particular problem.

RE: Which ATV Gun Case?
 

dep-I understand the wooly lining and think mine was hust worn out from years of rocky riding here. Just happened the last year or so so bet the guns just tore the lining up. I think the Kolpin is the best and toughest boot and might buy another one but believe me if you are a roughneck you will wear the liner down so just need to check your guns good.

ty glen. i do notice that little lieces of the lining come out. that is why i also use the gunsock.there is a gun system that looks like the kolpin and id not good at all. not sure of the name. be ware of thgis one . i had one and it went in the trash.i have to climb a rocky ledge in my 4-wheeler to get to one of my deer stands.. it is very ruff.good hunting buddy!!!!!!
