The only downside is your POI changes so if you are needing to zero your scope you have to take it off. I only use it for the first stages of load development so it's not an issue.

Chrony, the box style one with the shades.....Worked well but was a pain to set up. Pros: Cheapest way to go, built well, batteries last a long time. Cons: Hard to set up, big rifles would sometimes blow the shades off, shades eventually get brittle and break (usually over the course of years).
Magneto speed V3......Works amazing and is very accurate. Pros: Ease of use, very accurate, batteries last a long time. Cons: It is strapped to your barrel so it changes POI and cannot be used at the same time as sighting in your rifle. You have wires running from your barrel to the digital readout. It is expensive....the sporter is cheaper but I personally like the options on the V3 and would not buy the sporter model.
Lab Radar......pretty amazing unit: Pros: Very accurate. We compared it with the magneto V3 and they were less than 3fps different. No wires attached to your rifle, No weight to end of barrel so you can sight/shoot for groups while getting speeds. Battery life is amazing if you buy an external battery pack. Cons: using AA batteries sucks and they don't last very long, it is a bigger unit that requires a tripod, it is very expensive / most expensive of the three.
Hope that helps. I personally love the lab radar and won't go back to anything else. If I wasn't going to spend the money on the lab radar, the magnetospeed V3 would be my next in line.

I’ve only shot it once so it’s missing some of its plastic but it still works.

I'd like to get a labradar setup.

Magneto speeds work good until they don't.:yeah: Labradar for me.

I've been a MS user since they very first hit the market and they've served me well on everything from 17HMR to 338's. They can cause some POI shift but I've never had them affect group size. I don't have any skinny barreled guns so maybe that's why my stuff has seen minimal POI shift but I shoot most of my stuff suppressed so POI shift with a can on VS off is something I'm used to.
The LabRadar has some great features but they aren't without their cons as well.
For a conventional chronograph you'll be hard pressed to purchase one better than the Oehler 35P but they too have their cons.

Anyone tried to buy a Labradar lately? 12 weeks out. Tried getting myself one for Christmas.
I bought mine about 18 months ago and it said the same thing. Shipped in less than a week and I had it in under two weeks. Can’t guarantee that’s the case now but it was then and they had the same warning.

I have a MagnetoSpeed Sporter. It is easy to use and works great, gives repeatable results and I've never had it not record a shot.
The only downside is your POI changes so if you are needing to zero your scope you have to take it off. I only use it for the first stages of load development so it's not an issue.
:yeah: 100%
I’ve had a few miss reads. The simplicity and the convenience of not having it adjust screens or hitting screens is priceless🤪🤪🤪😂😂😂😉🥃🇺🇸

Same here.... everyone is out... from what I hear, it's a chip shortage issue, imagine that. :(
