The Du-Ha is what you want. Can keep 3 rifles under the back seat completely out of sight. Can also keep all the crap under your back seat from rolling all around. It also meets the qualification of case for states that require it. Worth every penny.
I also use the lucid snap rack. It is instant access and I believe also meets case or rack requirements. Can be concealed by draping a jacket or hoodie over it if need be.
I’ve got both and use both. For the snap rack install, make it as tight as possible and save the extra elastic so you can re-do it a few years down the road when it wears out. Mines 10 years old and I have redone the elastic a few times.
The snap rack can scratch the barrel just a little bit. Some electrical tape (blue of course) around the barrel or on the rack will stop that. With something on the floorboard wedged against the butstock it is surprisingly solid. The video does a good job showing it. It’s available at Amazon for a little less. I believe the DuHa can be had at Amazon or real truck as well. The DuHa will not mar the gun at all. Something like 50,000 plus miles without any marks.
How concerned are you about people seeing your guns and then stealing them?
Good point. I had a plain Chevy with a black steel headliner & a Big Sky rack. Rarely, & I mean it, that anybody noticed the guns on the ceiling. An all black 870 & a grey & stainless model 7. They rode there 10 years. Folks riding in the truck sometimes didn't notice them.
I put the rack in another truck with a tan cloth headliner. The guns stuck out like a sore thumb. Folks walking past the truck saw them.

Nice! I got on their website and was ready to place an order but found out they don't sell the lockable unit for under my truck's seat. There just isn't enough room. Excellent looking product though.

Guess it's all in the application.
My headliner is light colored too. No tint on the front windows either. I think I'll stay away from the headliner mount.
I carry a rifle in my pickup all the time. Mostly I'm by myself, so it's barrel down on the passenger floorboard with the buttstock near the console, resting on the passenger seat.
If I have a dog riding with me, or person, I put the buttstock on the back seat with the barrel along the console of the driver side. Quick access either way. Throw a towel over it to cover it when I go inside a store. But then again, I don't advertise I have a gun in the pickup by installing an obvious gun rack.

Long gone are the good ole days when EVERY Rancher had a rifle rack mounted to the back windshield of their truck.

You can make these easy enough out of some steel bar... or you can buy them on Walmart.com or Temu
* NEVER DOWNLOAD the Temu app.
Mine would be bouncing out of that rack and falling to the back floorboard on some of the places I drive.
Imagine how beat to schit they would look, as well. Guns are made from steel and wood but are really fragile when you think about it.
Those racks will rub off the bluing and mar the finish on the stock PDQ. They need some soft padding, unless you have a beater truck gun. They'll work fine then, be sure to add some velcro straps to hold them in place or they'll launch onto the floor.

95% of the trucks on the road, you can not reach the back window from the driver's seat.
