Default Brushguard bumper, or Gun Scabbard?

Ive been given permission(lol) by the wife for a 160 dollar add on. Should i get the brush guard bumper, or the Gun Scabbard? (Eventually i will have both, but what would you get first?)

I would go with the brush guard, I would rather have my machine protected first unless you carry your weapon with you all the time.

I have to get the special permission for stuff too. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I guess it would depend on where you are riding. Are you more likely to run into brush and need the bumper, or run into something you may need to shoot. I'd hate to get into a situation where the ony thing I had to defend myself was a brush guard. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

yup, I need permission too [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I have both, the gun thing is super nice. I got it off ebay for $40 I think, that didn't include the boot. I then went to Fleet Farm and got the Kolpin boot for $33. That is a heck of a lot cheaper then Arctic Cat is trying to rip you off for. So, if you are going to get both by October, then get the brush guard first, but if you won't be able to get both for another year, get the speedrack gun boot so you can go hunting. It really is a nice one. Also, I think I see the front bumber on ebay all the time for $100.

i bought a gun scabboard and i used it during deer season once and never used it again. a gun scabboard is really nice for shotgun when we go out grouse hunting but it bounces around in there so any firearm that you have in there that has a scope you take the chance of your scope being knocked off. that deer season mine got knocked off cause i had to drive down rougher terrain and my gun ended up being about a foot off and i always sight my deer rifle in 3 inches high at 100 yards. now for as often as i carry a firearm with me i got just a regular soft case i carry across my lap, besides it is quicker to get to in a pinch [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

A person really doens't know how nice the front brushguard bumper is until you get one. I just love it. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I love the gun scabbard too though. My rifles sit in there pretty tight so I don't worry about the scopes getting knocked off. Plus, I am not a very good shot so it doesn't matter anyway. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]
