[QUOTE="Blackhawk, post: 2000362, member: 105459"] [I]The Magneto Speed Sporter or V3 attaches via a strap just south of the muzzle of your rifle. It can become a little tricky in order to obtain a solid tight fit between the magneto speed and your rifle barrel. Even at best you may have to reposition your Chrono after every string of 5 or more shots, as it will move slightly. It however does a terrific job at recording your shot strings indicating your ES and SD as well as each shot in the strings & MV. Not sure about the sporter version as I own the V3 and with this unit you can remove the micro SDcard and download all the information to a spreadsheet on your computer. In this manner, you can perform an analysis at home. You must be mindful when setting up to use the 1/4" X 1/4' square aluminum rectangular rod to ensure proper clearance between the chronograph at the barrel's muzzle, otherwise, you will destroy your chronographs reader.
