Default Stock bucket seats/cabelas gun holder, will it work?

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Auto-...3Bcat104196780

this is the gun rack i would love to have but unfortunately stock buckets do not have a neck adjuster and im worried that the strap will be touching my neck or my back or whatever and just simply annoy the fuck out of me.

second thought, i am not sure the guns will clear the console. i will have to check since my seat never moves!

Console clearing MAY be an issue since the top of it does stick back some, just dont put a gun across right where it would be sticking out.

The whole "will it rub your neck" it may if you put your neck flat back against the seat lol.. it's probably just an elastic band and shouldn't be much more than 1/8th" thick..

Maybe I am color blind, but isn't the exterior of your truck white? Why would a non-camo INTERIOR piece make a difference? The animals are going to see the outside of the truck before they see a tan gun holder, lol!

I do see an issue already. Personally, my passenger seat and drivers seat don't line up perfectly because I am short and the passenger seat is all the way back while the drivers isn't. That actually may work as an advantage giving a sort of angle to pull a rifle out of the drivers side, but a passenger would be at a disadvantage.

I do like it though and am going to order one, lol!

haha i wanted a camo accent in the truck and id prefer to have black or camo since my seat is black and the gun that would sigt there the most is black lol so itd be conspicuous!

one of the complaints is that people cant get it tight enough at the top so it moves and hits the center console often. i still need to get in my truck and look at how much room i actually have. i NEVER use my jump seats when i am hunting, maybe i need to think of an idea to incorporate the same idea but hang them off the jump seats. i keep my guns in gun cases so i dont REALLY need one lol what i really need is a way to keep my gun next to me without rubbing on the console or sliding down so that the barrel is on the floor -_- I love my console but when i hunt its just in the way lol
