Follow along as I do a quick review of this light, fast, and effective rifle magazine loader.

How Does It Work?

Put some rounds in the holding section, choose as many as you need and put them into the channel, hold the mag, and slide the pusher.

Let my video do the talking!

It only gets easier the more you practice (plus my mag is pretty new). I’ve seen other videos where you don’t need to brace against anything.

Or I’m just weak.

One of the things you can’t tell from the image is how light it is.

It’s 1.2 lbs or less than the weight of a metal mag, thanks to its Baltic birch plywood construction.

Plus…it works for a lot of calibers and magazine types. For me I had the chance to try it with PMAGs, D&H, and Hex Mags.

All worked great.

Juuuust right!

I also found that it fits my 5-25x scope too if I’m doing a long range day instead of mag-dumping my ARs/AKs.

Conclusion

It’s not that hard to load rifle mags by hand…but if you’re loading all day long (like during a competition or awesome range day), the Podavach will definitely save you some pain and time.

It’s a little larger than other loaders but it gives you more ease and different holds.
