ABSTRACT:
A gun rack engages the rear of the back seat of a sports vehicle and enables weapons to be carried in a manner tilting toward the front of the vehicle. The rack has no middle struts which would interfere with the scope of rifle and thus allows the rifle to be carried scope down, a much more stable configuration. The rack of the present invention is completely foldable from and to a storage position, and contains specialized structures to enable tie down. Tie-downs are made with respect to eyelets which exist in the rear of sports vehicles, and tie down is effected through the use of quick release straps. Tie down is achieved both at the upper and lower end of the rack of the present invention. Self tying is achieved through a wrap-around strap, or through a decorative over cover. The decorative over cover helps to disguise the presence of the weaponry and thus to reduce the incidence of theft.
