No no. I said TRIpod, not bipod. How do you like your tripod? Make and model?

just another way to hold a rifle on the back of the front seat, or on the front of the back seat.....

Nice guns are nice to keep nice, but truck guns are also nice guns to use as a tool. At the end of the day, a gun is a tool, just like on your work bench. But yeah i got that piece of poo gun thats designated for the ride as well usually. I have my back seats raised all the time so my gun's barrel is resting on the center counsel and the rest of the gun is in the back.
Sorry, read right over that to quick…
It is the new Fatboy Elevate 2 leg with their newer Levitate level head. Literally just got it two days ago. So far testing on the deck has shown it's definitely gonna be nice. Hopefully get a chance this weekend to take it out but we have been inundated with fires and alot of ground is closed right now.

Gotcha, sorry to hear about all the fires. Hopefully those can get extinguished as soon as possible.

Agreed! This thread has been very eye opening. I understand that where I'm from
In Canada we can't have quite the same rifles and handguns, but nonetheless being from a rural part of the world I thought I still knew what a truck gun was!!!
. Around here for the farmers and other outdoor working types it's still a ton of Winchester 94/marlin 336 30-30s (and an honorable mention to the Remington 760/7600 pump guns mainly in .308 and .30-06, there's a heck of a lot more of these rifles around here than a person might suspect) shorter shotguns (often the handy little break action single shot 12 guages that are still very practical guns which take up little space and can take a beating for a lot of farm/ranch related things), and the ubiquitous .22 long rifles, old Cooey bolt guns and ruger 10/22s more than anything. I do notice a number of farmers around here have been bringing the neutered Canadian versions of AR type rifles (pinned to 5 rounds) as truck and especially "tractor" guns - as we have hogs and criminals here too as with the rest of the continent and these rifles are great for both

These threads are always worth a laugh. Just like the coyote gun threads. EVERYBODY has a coyote gun, but few have any pics of their 'coyote gun' with a coyote. Or a 'truck gun' in an actual truck......
Nobody wants to see my old truck, so I don't post pictures. OK I never take pictures, because I don't want to see my old truck.

I thought truck guns were dirty beater type things that doubled as a wood chopper. Those are all pretty nice!
Back in the 80s 90s you would have got a lot of rough looking mini14 m1 garand 1903 enfields, lever action etc.
