Unfortunately I can't afford an AR even thought I'd love one. Available trunk guns would be a Winchester 94 lever gun or a soon to be purchased SKS. Both being inexpensive enough that I wouldn't be upset for them to get banged around a bit.

In searching the net I've seen the trunk mount units, but as you said, they are very pricey. Also, I would like something that keeps the gun from being visible when I open my trunk. I could imagine how people would freak out if I load groceries into the trunk and there is a evil black rifle staring at them.

Also, I guess with a hard case you would need to bolt it to the body of the trunk so that a thief couldn't just grab the case and run?

The hot and cold is another issue I was wondering about, not to mention whether or not a scope could endure the punishment and still stay zeroed in. I'm thinking iron sights would be a safer bet.

In light of the recent Tyler shootings, I've decided it would be wise to carry a "trunk gun". Can anyone here give me a good suggestion as how to best secure a rifle in the trunk to...

1. slow/deter theft
2. prevent it from being thrown around the trunk
3. leave it quickly accessible
