We all like to carry spare ammunition when in the field, and Galco offers several great options for hunters. All are handcrafted from rich, premium Latigo dark havana leather for both beauty and long term durability.

The Butt Cuff has reinforced stitching between each loop helps prevent interior cartridge loop dimensions from changing, while a suede tongue and nylon lacing keep the cuff securely on the stock. The Butt Cuff carries between five and nine rounds, depending on the cartridge, and is available in both right and left-handed models.

The Stalker™ Cartridge Wallet features a compact design that carries ten rifle cartridge neatly on the belt. The cartridge loops are individually stitched to retain their shape over years of hard use. Stalker versions are available in three sizes to fit cartridges from .243 through .375 H&H and similar.

Finally, when hunting even larger game – perhaps in Africa – Galco offers options for the really big guns. Read more
