Truck-Vaults Provide Secure Storage for Expensive Arms
A custom, high-end Benchrest, F-Class, or High Power rifle can cost upwards of $4000.00. Some of the latest scopes (March, Schmidt & Bender) cost $2000-$2800 by themselves. If you’re transporting three or four “ultimate rifles” with premium scopes to the range, you could be hauling $16,000 worth of firearms. Bring along a rangefinder, Co-Axial rest, spotting scope, and chronograph, and that could push the total closer to $20,000.
How do you safeguard that kind of investment (without driving around in a Brinks armored truck)? One of the best storage systems available is the Truck-Vault, built in Washington state. Truck-vaults are custom-fitted, locking storage cabinets that fit in a Pick-up truck bed, SUV, or station wagon. Various designs are available, including a waterproof “Extreme Series.” Both single-drawer and multi-draw layouts are offered with lengths up to 60″ overall, and top-load capacity of 2000 pounds. A variety of interior configurations are available.
For transporting scoped match rifles, we suggest Truck-Vault’s “Magnum Line”, which has two drawers with 10.5″ of vertical clearance. This offers two primary sliding compartments (on roller casters), plus smaller storage boxes where you can keep valuable gear securely out of sight.

Truck-Vaults carry a big price-tag. SUV models start at $1355.00, but expect to pay closer to $2000.00 for a unit with all the bells and whistles. Balance that cost against the value of the all firearms and accessories you are transporting. If you spend much time on the road with a pricey collection of guns, optics, and accessories, a Truck-Vault may be a wise investment. This editor first saw a Truck-Vault on a Chevy Suburban belonging to an Arizona gunsmith who does a lot of work for the military. It was not unusual for him to haul $50,000 worth of Class III weapons. For him, the Truck-Vault was an essential security feature. For more info, visit TruckVault.com or call (800) 967-8107.

I agree with everything you state about the Truck Vault. They are extremely nice units. However, there is one problem you failed to mention. What happens when the culprit steals the vehicle? Anyone who purchases one of these should not get a false sense of security by thinking all is well because it’s locked up in the truck. Harlan Campbell,Jr., a Remington Arms spokesperson and champion trapshooter lost all his high dollar guns and equipment while parked at a motel in Memphis,TN. The truck was recovered but never saw his prized guns again. The Truck Vault was no value to him in this case.
I am interested in secure storage for the bed of my truck. full ton dually, something that will prevent someone from taking the contents without having to really bust their ass to really get what is there.
I’ve never been on board with the thought of securing weapons in a wooden Truckvault. You also might consider steel drawers from Tuffy Security. I believe they are also quite a bit lighter in weight compared to wood drawers. The previous comment is correct though… a vehicle immobilizer AND a Tuffy drawer is cheap insurance compared to losing everything.
According to me its truck vault s really nice.. its most secure and also helps to organize your truck.. The other interesting part about it so its easy to install..
