On the TW I made a hard case that fit the barrel under the tank and the stock against the side of the frame under the seat. It was bolted on, waterproof, and the lid featured a padlock. That is what I want on the RX3.
Probably build a similar case for the RX3, plenty of room between the left side case and tire since brackets extended to balance the right side case over the muffler. Problem is I have a couple of bench rest rifles. The 40-XBBR has a longer action than most and a 32-inch barrel to take advantage of heavy loads of slower, more consistent burning powders. Chambered .300 Winchester Magnum. It just doesn't fit most store bought solid cases. I'm not putting a $5500 rifle and scope in a folding case, or letting it stick out the sides to be brush whacked riding in to some of the more remote locations that hold a folding bench well.
