Dave has placed his rifle securely in the mount.  It is held out from the frame and lashing hooks by 1" aluminum spacers.  A leather strap snaps around the upper stock and the butt of the gun sits in an aluminum pocket with a wide leather strap which also snaps tight.  The mount is powder coated the same as your frame and stainless steel bolts are provided to secure the mount.  

You will need to drill three 1/4" holes through the frame to attach the rifle mount.  One will be about an inch down from the top.  Then two will need to be drilled at the lower curve.  

To attach: Bolt the upper mount to the frame and snap the leather strap around  your rifle..  When you set the butt of your gun in the lower pocket, you can adjust its placement before you tighten the nuts to secure the lower mount.

As you can see your rifle is accessible, but you can still pack hands free.  Price is $49.

The mount was designed and is produced by Mike Jacobsen in Salem, Oregon.  Mike is working on a mount for your bow.  He says it should be ready in the spring.
