What's your truck gun/rifle? - 07/23/13 07:38 AM
Hello all, just thought it would be cool to see what you guys carry in your truck as your go to truck gun? As for mine it's either a marlin 1894 in 44mag or a marlin 30-30, I like the handiness and function of Lever action rifles, I'm just a fan of Lever actions in general. I most always carry either one with me when going to the lease/ranch.... So what's your truck gun?

I don't have any lever actions. You can bet there's always a Glock in the arm rest tho. Always.

No rifle in the truck, and it's ticking me off! I know what I want to put together, it's surfaced a few times, and a seller backed out, and two couldn't get with me on price. Patience is a virtue.

I don't drive a truck, but here is my trunk gun.
It has sights and a red dot now.
I bought a cheap .30-30, but the length was an issue. Thought about getting a mare's leg.

Every day when I am working on the ranch, my DDm4 is in the passenger seat. I usually also carry my High Standard .22 when I'm working. Lots of snakes have been shot this summer.

M1 Garand. Might be a field or rack grade (it's a frankenGarand I picked up on this board actually)
It busts/vaporizes oranges and cantelopes at 100 yards ... good enough.

.410 single shot w/ a shell carrier full of slugs, and what ever pistol I have on me. only reason I carry that is if someone breaks in the truck they don't get any worth stealing...

I'm in the process of building one of these now in .300blackout. For just this use. Tired of yotes and pigs getting gone before I can get the gun out the window.

Re: What's your truck gun/rifle? - 07/30/13 07:08 AM
Lost a nice 10/22 one time because I left it in the truck, so I don't do that anymore. If I have a rifle with me it's either a Marlin 25 or my AR.

Savage Hog Hunter 308. Short barrel makes it easy to get in and out the window, light and easy to carry when walking, iron sights, and plenty of pop for deer,hogs, yotes or whatever needs to die!

Model 94 30-30. It has wear marks on it from how many miles it has sat wedged between the passenger seat and the console. Its beat up and ugly as all get out but it always goes bang and it will kill anything I run across if I do my part.

I am thinking of getting a truck gun made "customized" for myself, I like my marlin 30-30, and 44mag but I would really like to get a lever action custom built as my designated truck/brush gun. I am thinking of getting one at a pawn shop that maybe needs a little work have a gunsmith cut the barrel down to a trapper length barrel which Is somewhere around 16". Have the stock redone or even having the stock applied with a black bed liner type coating, I would also like to either have the barrel re blued or having it done also in a cerakote in either on OD green or a burnt bronze. I have seen some done grizzly customs guns or wild west guns, I would really like to have a gun sent to them to get worked on for me but I don't think I have the cash to send them into a place like that just yet, but maybe I can find a good local gunsmith that can do the basics for a reasonable price. I know the above mentioned is not for everyone and many people would frown upon doing that to a levergun but that would be my Ideal truck. Thanks for reading and for sharing what your truck gun is. I look forward to reading more from you guys.

Marlin 336W 30-30....... It is A real Marlin..... Before the freedom group bought them out. She is a beauty I must say. Wish she was a little smaller though, I have a single cab Toyota Tacoma and it is a tight squeeze.
