Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
Motorcycle carry options?
Motorcycle carry options?
After lusting over a Henry in .357 for YEARS I finally decided to go ahead and do it and have a .357 Brass carbine with 16.5in Octagon bbl and large loop coming on Tuesday. Oh Man I am an old dude that feels like a little kid at Christmas.
I hope someone can lead me in the right direction on transport options. I have been searching for hours and haven't found what I think I need yet.
My primary form of transport is a Motorcycle. A Suzuki V Strom to be exact. I want to be able to take my rifle to the range or out into the desert to shot via bike. I have looked at ATV mounts but they are huge.
What I have come to is wearing it across the back but I want something that will completely cover the gun. Many of the options I see are Scabbards designed for quick access and have the stock exposed. I dont need quick access. I wont be jumping off the bike to shoot at anything. I just want to take it from point A to point B.
So what I hope exists is a small form full enclosed padded pouch that has either a single or double strap to wear either cross the back or like a backpack. I wouldn't mind if it were open at one end but I would like some means of securing the rifle like a flap or strap that would make sure it didn't want to pop out while I am riding or if god forbid I dump the bike. I live in a gun friendly state but my personal preference is that it not be super tactical looking but...having said that ANY and ALL suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

Re: Motorcycle carry options?
Given that style of bike, I would think something like CT suggested will be your best, if not your only option.
Good protection in the event of an accident; however, If I go down on my bike, that rifle is not going to be my first concern!

Re: Motorcycle carry options?
I was hoping to find something like this but that would close on both ends. This guy only has a strap at the top. I guess if its long enough I can add snaps?

Re: Motorcycle carry options?
take a look at some of the gun cases designed to be used on 4-wheelers ...

Re: Motorcycle carry options?
Welcome from Nebraska. Good choice on a rifle. I'm sure you'll love it. On your carry question, perhaps find a soft case you like and add straps?

Re: Motorcycle carry options?
Hmm.. interesting question. Never carried a rifle on the bike, only a semi-auto handgun in the handlebar bag.

Re: Motorcycle carry options?
I think I may have found it!!
A little bit more than I was hoping to pay but .. its not a bad price .. just didnt want to pay that much!
The front bag comes off and its just a rectangular bag with a stout looking strap and pretty small. I just hope it fits the Carbine. I think it should just fit.
