The Big Sky Racks SBR2GUTV Sky Bar transforms any UTV into a mobile hunting platform with secure overhead gun storage. This steel-constructed rack system mounts directly to UTV roll bars, keeping two long guns accessible yet protected during transport across rough terrain.
What Makes This Different
Unlike flimsy plastic alternatives or basic clamps, the SBR2GUTV features heavy-duty steel construction with powder-coated finish that withstands years of outdoor use. The design incorporates quick-release gun locks that secure firearms without scratching stocks or barrels. Spring-loaded retention arms automatically adjust to accommodate rifles and shotguns from .22 rimfire to magnum calibers, eliminating the need for multiple mounting systems.
Key Features
- Heavy-gauge steel construction with corrosion-resistant powder coating
- Universal roll bar mounting system fits 1.5" to 2" diameter bars
- Quick-release gun locks secure firearms without stock damage
- Spring-loaded retention arms accommodate various gun lengths and profiles
- Holds two long guns with scoped or iron sight configurations

- Foam padding protects gun finishes during transport
Field testing demonstrates the SBR2GUTV maintains secure gun retention over jumps, through creek crossings, and across rocky terrain that would jar loose inferior mounting systems. The overhead position keeps firearms clear of mud and debris while remaining instantly accessible for hunting opportunities. Hunters report successful deployment in conditions ranging from desert heat to mountain snow without mechanical failure or finish degradation.
