I think the problem there is if you do that, then it is pointing at you when you go to retrieve it.Pretty slick design. Any chance the rifle could be mounted with the barrel pointing away from the cab and gas tank filler?
Ngurungundu resting on the middle front seat of Carruthers, very safe and convenient ( obviously checked to be empty before you do this). This position just evolved on the last trip, there was no dust with all the rain we had, but it was moist from carrying and you don't want to put a rifle into a damp bag. I will formalise this position with a top slip and a retaining strap to hold the rifle in place, but it sits there so comfortably that there is no movement at all.
By the way the big black tree in the background is an ebony, the largest I have ever seen, the PH reckons 1000 years plus.
