Hoptic USA’s Quiver is a rail-mountable accessory for precision rifles, machined from 6061-T6 Aluminum and Type III hard anodized. The Quiver is designed as an efficient method to carry and access two additional cartridges; it been described by the creator as “…to the Precision Sniper Rifle what the Side Saddle is to the Shotgun…”
The Quiver is now available in three calibers: .300 Win Mag, .308, and .223/5.56/.300 BLK. The 5.56 version was made particularly due to requests from California shooters as a method to carry two loose rounds to manipulate the infamous “bullet button”.
The Quiver will soon be available in FDE Cerakote and other colors.

I could see it for a bolt action rifle, otherwise changing a magazine might be more effective.
I’ve read about long range 5.56 guys loading through the side because some loads exceed OAL for magazines, never seen it in action though-
I think this is tool to help cope with the “bullet button” which appears to be a feature in CA that slows down reloading a mag.

Yeah some of the national match guys use do that. Can’t remember what weight they said they used but it was way to long for a magazine.
80 gr requires single loading
Awesome.
Most real sniping rifles have detachable box magazines nowadays. There are several retrofits kits for the Remington 700 action, for example.
The comparison to a shotgun side saddle is particularly poor. You going to take 2 rounds of match ammo and put it out where it can get dirty, muddy, dented or otherwise messed up? Not me.
Shotgun? OK.
Precision rifle? Not OK
