RIFLE RACKS (free standing)

Jump to latest Follow Reply
Bought 7-rifle stand that looked like a shop project for $70, but works OK, did give ideas on how to make my own. These pictures aren't the purchased one but three copies, weathered one sits on back porch for when I'm outside. Could have made fancier but functionality was most important. WM

Hello
I am looking for a free standing rifle rack to keep near my shooting location from indoors to out protecting the fruit trees.
Amazon has a huge selection, but I am wondering if any one of you can recommend one
I would like one that holds 3 rifles, is sturdy, and not just plain old junk
Thanks
Edward

search google "DIY gunrack " or just copy the one in post #2 maybe out of all pine /not ply wood OR all plywood a little stain/ varnish before any cuts are made then touch up cuts when all together .
P>S>use glue and screw both

I like the racks in post #2. Only thing I would change if I made one is the bottom board would be two layers. The one that the rifle butt sits on would be the very bottom and the one on top of that would have an oval oversize pocket for the butt to sit in to prevent it from sliding out if the muzzle was bumped.

Original store-bought one has two-inch cross pieces, front and back, on lower board forming a shallow box to keep rifle butt from kicking out either direction, since no little ones running around passed on that modification. WM

Very nice, and simple too @WorriedMan
Nothing fancy needed here either
any Robles with them standing up on their own?

Outdoor one wobbles slightly from weather warping, OK if kept against wall, inside ones solid. Lumber was scrap I had sitting around; plywood already in sizes shown if you use your imagination to put halves back together. Measured diagonal line appropriate for each piece and ripped with circular saw. Toughest part was cutting half circles in upper crosspiece. Used cheapo circular hole cutter with assorted blades. Inexpensive, easy to make and functional. WM
