Thought I’d toss this here. It really doesn’t belong in the “Holster/EDC” forum.
Picked up a long gun mount for a UTV. It mounts on the roof bars behind/above the seats. This was chosen over the floor mount to both keep it more out of the way and allow for the dog, who seems to be quite fond of hopping in and riding around. The plan is to keep either a dedicated carbine of some kind (most likely a levergun, Mini, or 870) for use on predators or perhaps security. Private property, UTV will not be left in a “public” area. Conditions can get dusty, however there is a roof, lexan solid rear window and front windscreen. Windowless doors. It will be out of direct element exposure. Vehicle carry (either 4 wheeled or 4 legged) entirely new to me. How does one go about keeping the action and barrel relatively clean and operable for use? The old “balloon over the muzzle” trick may suffice for the front end, but wondering on ideas for the action. For those folks here who are rural and wander the hills, how do you do this?
