Gun Rack Spacing

[scrap--metal]

How far apart are your gun rack bars mounted? I'm referring to the brackets that bridge the rear window opening.

I got a rack from @bigcountry78 awhile back, and now I'm thinking that I need to get it mounted before I go grouse hunting in a couple weeks. I haven't made time to install my slider window, so I want to be sure that wherever I mount the rack will still work with the slider.

Please let me know how far apart your gun racks are mounts. I'm mainly intending to use it will full length shotguns, if it makes a difference.

I dunno about spacing, but make sure the hooks are not behind your head.

My buddies truck came with one that was super obnoxious as we both were hitting our heads on them.

The spacing should depend on the rifle/shotguns you're putting in it. Usually they rest upside down so one side would fit in the curve behind the trigger. The other wouldn't matter as much as its relatively flat along the top of the barrel/stock. It gets complicated when you throw AR's in there as they come in all shapes/sizes. I grew up with having guns in the window. I was surprised it is now illegal in most places.

Huh, hadn't really thought about it being illegal. I just know nobody does it anymore

It's still legal in MN when traveling to and from hunting locations, as long as you stay out of the three major metro counties and towns of 2,500 or greater. It also needs to be unloaded.

I suppose I should play around with the rack and my shotguns.

Does anyone have an example spacing to start with? I still want to be able to use the center seat on the bench from time to time.
