Hold Up Displays USA Made Gun Rack Rifle Shotgun Hanger and Fishing Rod Pole Rack

Very nice system and quality materials. Other reviews had me a bit apprehensive on drilling the holes for the mounting screws. Set up a guide on the drill press and everything went smoothly. I made sure that my rails are screwed into studs and the 16" OC is perfect spacing.The best part is the ability to set each cradle independently so a variety of gun styles hang level. Total stand-off distance from the wall is just under 6" and fit my rather confined armory perfectly. I got the black finish, very contemporary / industrial. Pairs well with black rifles. Very satisfied, highly recommend.

When finished, you'll find the display works wonderfully. However, there's some tools you'll want to use to make the job look professional.1. The veins don't come pre-drilled (reason for the 4 stars on 'Easy to install'). You'll need to drill them yourself using spacing you deem to be suitable. A table top drill press and a contrasting sharpie color to mark the holes will prove invaluable.2. Ensure you can find the studs, and I'd suggest sticking to mounting the veins directly into studs vs using an anchor or toggle bolt. Once found, mark them down.3. For ease of install, I highly suggest a laser level on a tripod. Have your vertical line up with the stud, and your horizontal line as the bottom. Install one vein, then move to the adjacent stud (assuming 16" centers), and mark it, and then mount your next stud using the same method as the first.Provided you've pre-drilled them all, found all the studs, it takes only minutes to screw everything in and get started with the mounting of your fishing rods.

My gun rack arrived yesterday and I couldn't be happier with it. When you look for gun racks anywhere, not just Amazon, a lot of what you find is designed to look primitive, western, or just plain cheesy. I wanted something that was functional, minimal, and adjustable. This fit the bill perfectly. As other reviewers pointed out, the vertical rails do not have screw holes pre-drilled. They are aluminum and any sharp drill bit will punch through in seconds. I pre-drilled with a 3/16 bit in the top and bottom of each rail. I located the stud and screwed in the top, leveled the rail, screwed in the bottom, then put in the remainder of the screws. I used 5 black 2.5" drywall screwed per side and this thing isn't going anywhere. My only gripe, and it's small, is that I wasn't sure how tight to crank down the hooks. It's a friction fit and I wanted it to be tight enough to hold my rifles but not tight enough to damage the rails. In the end, it was a little trial and error and the rifles aren't going anywhere. I'll probably order another one soon.Update: Just put up a second rack and I'm still pleased. I like that the hooks are individually adjustable so that all of the barrels are level. I'm pretty sure it would really annoy me if they weren't.

The unit was easy to install. Holds five AR style weapons fully equipped. Could probably squeezed a sixth, but they would have looked crowded. Would buy again. The drilling out of the mounting holes was nothing.

Seems super strong and sturdy. I like how easily adjustable the hooks are. My 5 year old loved it too so of course she had to have hers on it as well lol. Gonna purchase another for the rest of them!

I was looking for an alternative to a gun cabinet safe and wanted my guns to be stored side-to-side rather than up and down. This was a perfect alternative. I looked into several garage type storage solutions but the price was well over $200 just to get 4 guns hung. I also bought the pistol holders for this system and love them.A few considerations:1. Make sure you have the ample wall space, I found that i needed at least a 4ft by 5ft section2. Holes are not pre drilled. Make sure you get a good drill bit for the holes3. use good screws and hardware for securing the racks to the wall

OK why 5 stars when I have so much negative to say? I love the concept of being able to "customize" the rifle rack to the guns that are displayed. Adjusting the angle of the guns to match is ever so easy. The sponge rubber holders adjust very easily by sliding them into place then rotating them until snug. The bad news is the current state of the product. It seems to be unfinished. You have to drill the holes in the two aluminum rails that will be used to attach them to the wall. Sounds easy enough. I used a drill press to drill the eight holes. When I began putting in the screws there were a couple that would not clear the raised rail. If the screws aren't perfectly set they will bind, and it isn't easy to fix the problem. I don't know why the designer isn't addressing the tight configuration of the screws and the rail. How about two more aluminum extrusions mounted to keep the vertical rails parallel?. Why not make it easier to plumb the assembly? Why not predrill the holes? Do it right and you will bring rifle racks into the 21st century from clumsy wooden ones that can't be customized.

First of all, I love hold up displays brand. I have about 9-10 different mount products of theirs and this is the first one I've ever been disappointed with. Rather flimsy, disappointed with the holes not being pre drilled for mounting, and the lip on the tracks got bent during installation when placing several of the screws. It's up, and it's functioning as intended, but I would return this if I hadn't already set it all up.
