Excellent method for securing a firearm while maintaining ease of access! absolutely ZERO rattle, even over off-road conditions. This carrier is secure. The buckles and fasteners are top notch, not cheap knockoffs at all. Installation was super simple. As shown in the pictures, after installing the rifle rack, I still had plenty of room for a trauma kit, and a gas mask. I keep the rifle in condition 3 and have no concerns. This thing is solid.
