I use the removable floor mount version. I made a bracket that goes from about the middle of the rack to the dash. This stopped the rack from shaking around. I really like this setup. I prefer my guns in the middle of the cart. They are out of the way when getting in or out of the cart. Also very important to me is the guns stay away from rain better in the middle of the cart.

 

Any chance you can show a photo of your bracket?

 

I also use the removable floor mount version in the back of my UTV. I made a bracket that goes from the post to the tubing that supports the roof out of PVC. Hose clamps on the tubing and Velcro on the post.

 

We did the Rugged Gear U-bolt mounts up front... WITH the fine gun holder covers. The floor bases are on a shelf somewhere. We also use Barrel Tacos since they do a better job of filling the space and keep the guns more stable.

On the back step we have a RG 2-gun floor mount BUT with real nuts and bolts rather than their thumb screws...and the fine gun covers. We liked that we could tip it up if need be to fit it on a small trailer or tip it back if we want to fold the back seat down.

So far, this set-up hasn't let us down.

Ahh okay I didn't realize the Fine Gun Covers would fit on the U-bolt Mounts. That is great to know. Why aren't you using the floor bases?

Barrel Taco...that is interesting. Never seen those! Cool idea...

 

i can tell you from experience those 'fine gun covers' become abrasive pads as they collect dust. The jiggly ride in the cart coupled with dust/dirt in the wool makes for a bad combination.

 

Interesting...I've used them for over 10 years with their push carts and never had any issues. My guns look showroom new.

Then again, my cart will be garaged. I would never use them if my cart was just parked at the club with a cover on it. I agree...I wouldn't want the fine gun covers in that case either.

 

There's two versions of the covers depending on if the mount is a rear or side mount...as in the part of the U-shaped piece bolts to the frame, if that makes sense.

As for the floor base, I didn't have a drill with me when I put the U-bolt pieces on the windshield frame and found that the guns don't move around without them.

I did try glueing them once but they didn't stick. That was before I discovered Barge Cement. It's big time messy but it's amazing stuff!

Good to know. I'd probably just bolt the floor bases down. That said, I have seen some folks out at the range with just the U Bolt Mounts and no base at all...

 

None of the above.

 

Thanks for your useful reply.

 

I use this and have been pleased with it: https://www.amazon.com/kemimoto-Ver...1.fos.006c50ae-5d4c-4777-9bc0-4513d670b6bc&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1. The straps are much more secure than velcro. The downside is they wear out after about a year and need to be replaced, but they come with a replacement so you're set for at least the first couple years.

 

I’ve used the floor mount one and it’s a great idea. But after a few weeks the black rubber starts to come off and gets everywhere. If they would replace that with something that wouldn’t come off I’d start using it again.

 

We use scabbard technology. They work great. You can also get rain covers for them.

 

btw i have started using one of those neoprene sleeves for my gun when in the cart rack. I just hold the barrel between stations but from truck to start, etc where i'm going a bit faster/further the gun is racked in its neoprene sleeve. They stop the rubbing AND help keep dust and rain off the gun. Dust not being a huge issue on push carts but a BIG issue for golf carts.

Never seen one. Any chance you could post a link?

 

I have no experience with these but it’s one not mentioned. Looks solid enough if you have the right spot to mount them.

Yep like the Briley sleeve you linked.

I do still use a base on the floor. the sleeve kinda slides up a little but still get a lot of protection.

 

Looking for a good golf cart shotgun rack - I've been reading through a few older threads on this topic and I think I've narrowed it down to three options:

1. Suregrip Gun Rack

2. 2-Gun Removable Floor Mount

3. Rugged Gear Swing Arm Holder - 1" U-Bolt with Floor Base

The Suregrip Gun Rack seems like a nice option. The downside is there are no straps, which seems a little odd - that might be a deal breaker for me. The Suregrip Gun Rack has the added support to the cup holder area, which is quite nice.

I also like the Rugged Gear 2-Gun Removable Floor Mount - I'd also add their Fine Gun Holder Covers. The only complaint I've heard about this mount is that it is not as sturdy as some would like. I would have to fabricate a bracket for it to make it more secure, which I'm not crazy about, but probably fairly easy to do.

The U Bolt Holder with Floor Base has been highly recommended by a couple guys on here. Nice thing is it is very easy to install and it might be the least likely option to scratch/damage your gun since the butt of the gun just sits in the Floor Base. I'm kind of leaning this direction at the moment. Probably not as well protected from the elements as having the guns in the center of the cart though.

I'm not interested in the Scabbards at all - I've used these before at a tournament and it just seemed like a great way to scratch your gun over time. I suppose if you kept them really clean they would be OK.

What do you guys think?

Thanks!

Been using the rugged gear rack inside our cart for years and it’s done the job well. Rather than the fine gun covers, we simply put the guns in socks. Keeps the dust off and keeps them scratch free!

 

I have the floor mount version that is detachable, but after a few weeks the black rubber starts to come off and get all over the place.

 

Are you referring to the black rubber where the gun rests?

 

Scabbard system for me.

 

I've never seen a sure-grip on a golf cart. They work great mounted diagonally on UTV's even without straps.

But if you are talking about an actual golf cart and don't want scabbards, about your only option is the vertical mounts on the floor.

 

I have a one inch hitch on my golf cart and mounted the floor mount on a plate attached to a piece of one inch bar stock that I put into the hitch. Worked great until the black rubber started coming off everywhere. I’m looking for something to replace the rubber with that can be mounted on the holder.

 

Here's the bracket I made to hold the gun rack steady. It's a flat piece of aluminum I bent. I slotted the one side where the center bolt goes through so the rack can still be adjusted.

 

Nice brace! I’ve been meaning to do that to mine for years. How is it attached to the cup holder - just screwed into it or is there a nut behind?

 

I just screwed it to the cup holder with sheet metal screws. I figured if it comes loose I'll change it and add nuts behind. So far it seems pretty sturdy.

 

I’m actually shocked that no one offers a brace like this pre-made. Great idea

 

Here's a couple shots of my wife's 391 on the cart. And we've been using this set up for years with no issues.

 

Just saw this post. I use the Rugged Gear 2gun rack. I did a little fabricating and mounted them on the rear. Works excellent for me.
