LaRue Cagulowa
Tuesday, January 15th, 2019
If you’ve been looking for a handy way to carry your scope equipped rifle, then the Cagulowa from Larue Tactical is for you.
Made of leather, it features six adjustment points to balance the center of gravity.
Below, Mark LaRue explains why he created the Cagulowa:
Whelp, I blame this new product on yoga pants. Wait ! Hear me out.
While working out one day at a gym called OrangeTheory, the female yell-leader instructor must be a model for yoga pants or a LuLuLemon plant. Anyhow, the whole aura she had goin’ on caused me to lift a larger barbell behind my head than my age group (old) could handle. Bam !! Torn right elbow.
Fast forward to now. Elbow is slow to heal but I need to hike with a rifle …
“As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives a moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprize, and independance to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be the constant companion of your walks.”
– Thomas Jefferson 1785 August 19.
On my ranch hikes, using my injured right arm, I couldn’t find a comfortable way to carry my scoped 10-22. My invention demon jumped onto my right shoulder and drop kicked my right ear. Bam again !! I listened to the invention demon and came up with the Cagulowa ™ – Carries Gun Long Way.
Trust me, this is nice to have. Makes carrying scoped rifles a gamechanger. Tell your gal you are sick of Valentine’s Day chocolates and you want a Cagulowa™ Carry Handle instead. And no, silly, it won’t change you rifles zero (unless you duct-taped your scope on).
Be advised, these are made by slow walking saddle makers, so put your order in and give us a few days to knock you one out.
Enjoy,
Mark LaRue
