[QUOTE="davidu, post: 2245235, member: 115072"] I have the MS with the Wiser Precision standoff. I ordered a LabRadar with all the extras needed to make it functional while I was waiting for a new bayonet after nicking the second sensor on the MS. Here’s what I have learned.. Magneto Speed functions perfectly 100% of the time and is easy to use. The Wiser Precision standoff has some issues. The little springs pop off never to be found. The guy that makes it suggested gluing one end of the spring to the little hole on the part that moves. That seems to work ok. It requires a picatinny rail to attach it to the rifle stock. Afixing a picatinny rail to a sporter rifle stock using the sling stud was a big problem for me. I had to shim it and it wasn’t stable enough resulting in a ding that cost $170 for new bayonet. I’m sure someone has engineered a better solution than I did. The WP standoff works well with my chassis rifles. But you still have to pay attention to the clamp staying snug. The Labradar with all the goodies ( battery, battery holder, pouch to carry it, tripod mount, sd card, recoil trigger, aiming device which evolved into red dot sight and 3D printed holder to get the orange box to pick up 95% of the shots) cost north of $700. Also, which I didn’t appreciate until it was too late, the Labradar won’t pick up anything over 3900f/s. So much for chronographing my 204 Ruger and 22-250 Rem Recording shots IMHO is a PITA. The recoil trigger picks up bogus data when ejecting shells or loading shells or maybe just to screw with me. I know a lot of folks really like their Labradar. I’m just not one of them. [/QUOTE]
