I have the Shooters Ridge Mag loader. It takes a little getting used to but it works very well. Handle it gently and you will be fine. Some try to force it and it breaks. Follow the directions and experiment putting it together and there won't be any problems. For the heck of it I tried loading...
This is a Sniper model LT3-9x32MAOL that fits on my TD and in the bag. I had to replace the Ruger base, shown in the photo, with a UTG Pic base that allowed me to move the scope back another inch. Works great.
