[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 1171789, member: 1"] We sell them both and both are great products. But there is some misinformation here about the LR. 1. smaller caliber issues have been resolved long ago...almost a year ago. 2. Initial setup is easy and fast. And after initial setup, subsequent use has no setup at all. I store mine on its own flat base mount. When heading to the range I pick it up by grabbing the top of the unit, carry it to the car. At the range I plop it onto the top of the bench, turn on the power, push one other button twice quickly and fire my rifle. That's it. 3. I don't know what the power issues are that are being referred to but I don't experience any. Unless it refers to some thinking that they need to use the unit to measure BC's. That's a worthless feature as BC's calculated over such a short distance are not usable. So it's a moot point if the power is low. And I don't know if it is low since I have no use for the feature. 4. Battery life is a little short but batteries are cheap. And...I have learned to keep the arming active time set to a short duration. It's easy to reach over and re-arm the unit just before I am ready to fire again. Takes about 3 seconds. Honestly, this LabRadar unit is amazingly easy to use. I used it at the shooting classes last summer. sometimes we need to help a shooter chrono his bullet and run a ballistic chart in order to create and then to validate trajectory. It never misses a reading either. Regardless of light conditions. Again, I just grab the top of the unit to pick it up, plop it down where the shooter's rifle is setting. Push the button to arm it and fire. Again, the Magnetospeed is great. So is the LR. [/QUOTE]
