Ammo Cans
Honestly can you have enough of them? For a shooter — any shooter — ammo cans are about the most useful small storage system you can find. And, really, they’re pretty dang cool looking too.

UtilClip XL
UtilClip's locking belt loop has been around for a while and is a slick system. But the company has improved on a great idea with the XL, not only providing rock-solid and covert carry retention, but also a little extra. Integrated into the spring-steel clip is a multi-tool, complete with a screwdrivers and multi-stage wrench — perfect for fixing or fine tuning a malfunctioning holster on the go. Similar to the older iterations of the UtilClip, the XL delivers the same versatility to a carry system, facilitating inside and outside the waistband carry, with or without a belt. Price: $14.99

Juicing magazines isn’t how your favorite shooter wants to burn a day at the range. Thanks to Caldwell’s Mag Charger, they’ll spend more time throwing rounds down their lane, not reloading.

Crossbreed Crossover Belt
The foundation of any carry rig is a solid gun belt. With this in mind, the concealed carrier on your gift list will go over the moon unwrapping the Crossbreed Crossover Belt. The 1.5-inch wide belt offers extra support with a slide buckle, which allows the user to cinch it snugly each and every time.

Compatible with the Ruger 10/22 Takedown, the X-22 Backpacker Stock is an ingenious way to take the rimfire anywhere your shooter goes.

If that were not enough, Magpul has made the stock an entire survival system, with a watertight compartment in the grip and another watertight compartment in comb, designed to stow three 10-round 10/22 magazines. Really, for any shooter who loves the 10/22 and has a takedown version, there isn’t any better gift. Price: $109.95
ShootSteel Magnum Spring Popper
As we all learned from It’s a Wonderful Life, every time copper-jacketed lead bangs steel, an angle gets its precision long-range rifle.
