John,
Which rack is that? Do you like it?

A 30 round would make a nice armrest!Originally Posted by John Hearne
For certain vehicle applications they are almost mandatory. The passenger would not appreciate a 30 round magazine in this rifle.
Setina double vertical with XL locks, free standing since I do not have a cage. It's OK. It's not visible but there is a 14" 870 there as well. For carrying two long guns, there aren't a whole lot of better options. That is our standard locking system, we're running it in Chargers and Pursuit Utilities with cages.
I had to make my own bracket for the "cup" at the bottom to have room for my Aimpoint to mount in the protected fashion you see. Supposedly, Setina will now send you brackets that will make this happen.
As far as speed of access, I still miss my overhead rack, the rifle just seemed to come out faster from it. Probably not an issue since you're not going to deploy the rifle under extreme duress, it's definitely a proactive tool.

GI straight 20 master race! Magpul twenties aren't bad, but aluminum curved twenties are gay. Straight Jacksons is where it's at.
You can put Magpul L-plates or ranger plates onto a GI 20, but you'll need to snap the floorplate retainer off it's rivet. And it reduces the mag to a 18 rounder. But it adds a bit of durability and handiness.
Twennies are so much handier to drop into a pocket or hold two during manipulations. Plus maximum baller status:
Repeated double feeds and failures to lock to rear across multiple in-spec rifles (Colt and DD).

Colt 20 rounders are retro sexy, but Magpul 40 rounders are awesome

My stash is about a 50/50 split between 20s and 30s. The 20s ride in the pistols and rifles as primary with either 20s on the belt or 30s in the vest as needed. I think it makes a better balance and certainly not as cumbersome. But, I got little t-rex arms...
For work purposes I will run 30s.
For recreational purposes, I predominately use 20 rounders, mainly old Colt mags, many of which are at least 30 years old. As long as you don't step on them, or drop them on concrete or similar surfaces, they seem to run forever.

AKA, the wolves were not cooperating, so I filled the dutch oven with grouse. Not a breast was harmed.
Modern rendition, same mags:
That post sure gets a workout!!
A BUNCH of ground squirrels have met their demise while guns have been perched from the surrounding fence posts. Not to mention I bet I have probably looked at 100+ antelope through a scope in the last 10 years in that same spot. A badger lives nearby, but I have yet to get the timing right on him..
