BudsGunShop.com - Can you load mag. without detaching it?

Gregory - with the rotary magazine ... It would be one heck of a chore. It isn't mentioned anywhere in Ruger's literature that I could find, so I'm thinking it is not recommended by the manufacturer. Get yourself an extra mag, to have readily available anytime you're out using the rifle.

I think it could be done but its much easier to just Remove and load the mag

This rifle uses a detachable rotary magazine that mounts flush with the stock to eliminate protrusions at the rifle's balance point. I would certainly verify my assumption with Ruger Customer Service at Telephone: 336-949-5200 (Monday through Friday 8:00am - 5:00pm ET).
