I use 2 of these gun scabbards.

They are somewhat expensive but provide fantastic protection and there are many mounting options.

The gun scabbards are crappy. They end up tearing and gun parts catch on the inner cloth fabric. I've seen too many and they didn't last very long when well-used.

 

I did not like the Rugged gear two gun mount that sits between the folks; -

I have seen too many become wobbly over time. I use the RG butt boots -

with a pair of gun holders that fasten to the windshield frame of my golf cart - mine use a rubber device to secure instead of velcro which wears out too quickly

 

Agree with DEG on this one, those scabbards are the best I've used.

 

BTW...If you decide to go with the Scabbard, buy what you can through MPC Sports, or another retailer, because they are much cheaper than on the manufactures website. However, additional mounting options and accessories my be available at Scabbard Technologies if you can't locate them elsewhere at a lower cost.

 

The scabbards are great. Make sure that the bolt that fastens the scabbard to the mount are the correct length and don’t protrude into the pocket of the scabbard.

The scabbard has an aluminum shell that is covered in foam, then covered in the black nylon outer shell. The aluminum shell has a welded nut on the inside, under the foam that the mounting bolt will screw into. You won’t see this as it is all covered.

If the bolts are too long and protrude into the pocket, over time they can wear through the foam and scratch and dent your rib or wood depending on how you put the gun in the scabbard.

 

This is not correct. There is no welded nut on the shell and the head of the mounting bolts shown below remain on the inside of the scabbard. They also do not go under the foam.

The scabbards come with the bolts below. If mounted per instructions there is no way the heads will touch the gun and the heads of the bolts have rubber padding installed so it would not damage the gun if they did. If you lose or strip a bolt a new set is $7.

 

I used the Rugged Gear removeable 2-gun rack in my cart, but added a brace from the central post to the dash of my cart. Solved the vibration issue. I sold my motorhome so I no longer drag my cart to matches, which is a good thing since my wife has taken over my cart for gardening.

Here is what it is:

I'd prefer these as the Scabboards have let me down before. I remember one tournament where i had to hold my gun in the holder because it was slowly working its' way to falling out while driving..

 

I can appreciate that was your experience.

It wasn't mine.

Perhaps I bought a copy cat brand as it was several years ago in South Louisiana from Cajun Carts.

I've bought 12 of them in total, for three different carts, and none of them had the setup you have in photos above which looks like it would solve the problem I experienced.

 

I used some ratcheting Rhino Grips and the RG Butt Boots shown above. Mounted these to the roof /windshield standards on the outside

EXACTLY!!! My Rino Grips are attached to the rear golf bag bar with the RGs attached to the bag well floor. I'v never had a problem with this setup in 4 years.

 

We use the RG floor mount in back and the U-bolt swing arm mounts on the windshield frame in front. We also got the gun holder covers for all 4. And we've used the same set-up on two different golf carts with no issues.

This is what I did.There mounted to a peace of 3/4 plywood.Remove when not needed.

 

When I utilized a golf cart to get around the course I used the Scabbards And they worked great! I installed them on the back of the cart and used a front mounted basket for my shell bag and a
small cooler.

 

Was thinking about this. But it makes me nervous.

 

No way I would mount on the front - carts in front kicking up rocks, dirt, dust or mud, etc. would be bad. One reason I do not like the scabbards - foam holds water form rain and dust and grit kicked up driving around

 

i use 3 scabbards on my cart,two facing forward and one on the rear seat. will add a forth later.Bobby

 

One of many reasons. I didn't like it. See that Kubota every month. Guy has a DT11 and another very expensive gun in it. Every time.

 

Great ideas…limited on room in cab, outside bothers me some. If I figure out something for the inside I will post. Thank you for your help!

 

Not a big fan of the scabbards. Shooting where its dusty and sandy grit seems to get in them. Without regular cleaning I can see where they can cause micro scratches from the constant in and out of the tight space.

 

Big difference between a golf cart and a UTV. Not much room in that golf cart. Gun holders mounted up front on the side and in the middle floor board are subject to mud off your boots and dust off the front tires. Scabbards are not perfect, I said they worked good for me, but I don’t shoot in the rain either. The scabbards will hold water and the wind will shred the scabbard lining after a year or two of trailering. As far as those scratches and rubs, I haven’t used any type of holder that did not leave some type of damage to your gun’s bluing or wood finish. I’ve tried at least six or seven different styles and models and I’m still looking for perfection.

 

With the basic gripper type of barrel holder, using a barrel taco or similar fleece wrap will help prevent bluing wear.

 

I had this done in nationals

 

Who makes this?

 

Thanks for all the replies, great info. I do not want to put the guns inside due to lack of space. I think I will go with Scabbards. I contacted them and they recommend taking them off for towing (very fast and easy they say) to prevent damage and they do sell a rain cover to keep them dry and doubles to keep the grit out of them.

 

I have had a pair of Scabbards for about 5 years. My custom Krieghoffs have never shown any signs of wear. I do not take the scabbards off after each use. They have a lot of use and a lot of miles on them. They look like new. I keep my cart in the garage when not in use. Get the rain covers. They double as dust covers when necessary. Use common sense regarding dust, rain, etc. Use a soft cloth to wipe the scabbards out after travel and each day before use. Your gun goes into the scabbard bottom first (you should be able to see your rib when in the scabbard). This will avoid any potential issues with mounting bolts. The fabric will wear the toe of your recoil pad over time. I put my butt in a velvet Crown Royal bag (with grommets removed!) before putting it in the scabbard. That totally avoids the wear. You’ll be glad you bought the scabbard. P.S. If you really want to get fancy, buy the full leather covers.

 

This is what I ended up doing on my Evolution Forester golf cart. I added a clays basket then added the Kolpin gun rack with a RAM mount to the roof to make it all strong and sturdy. I am very happy with the way it turned out.

 

I don't like to have the Bbl's above the roof line just be aware as you are driving.

 

Yes they can but a golf cart has limited options. I do think I will have a different mount for next year. My roof extends over my rear seat so I don't have room there.

 

I have butt boots on the outside edge of each side and grips that attach to my windshield uprights - leaves plenty of legroom inside as well as the ability to use a hand if needed for extra support on the barrel if the ride is particularly rough

 

I have watched several very expensive guns that stick above the roof get caught by branches and end up on the ground. Not good.

 

I've used the scabbards on my cart for a couple of years. Never seen a scratch. Its important to use round head/square neck bolts under the padding for mounting them. Don't waste money on the mounting system they offer. You need to bend the aluminum underneath the padding to fit your gun. Otherwise they might be too tight or too loose. Easy to use and very secure.

 

I use the Rugged Gear floor mount in my 2005 model Clays Cart. Never have had any issues about being solid. What I don't understand about other mounts is that WHY would you want a rack out in the weather?? With my windshield mine stays dry in just about anything........ even at Nationals this year!!
