[QUOTE="Okanogan, post: 1871938, member: 90397"] I have/ had both the Labradar and Magnetospeed. I can't remember who I loaned the Magnetospeed to a couple years ago because I reverted to only using the Labradar. Is the Labradar perfect, no but neither was the Magnerospeed. My moans with the Labradar are all something I have been able to work around: - can be finicky with a supressor or with smaller .22 cal bullets - it doesn't like the wind because it is a big sail (from what I have read, letting is blow over greatly increases the chances of a unit failure) - occasionally fails to pick up a shot or gets one from a adjacent shooter - eats batteries so an extended battery pack is a must and I occasionally hook it up wrong and it eats my batteries anyway - if I leave the batteries in the unit, it often gets inadverently turned on in the storage case and eats the batteries - aiming the unit dead at the target seems to be more important when shooting loads that are harder to pick up and the aiming notch on the unit isn't that great of an aid I shoot magnums with breaks, and ARs with suppressors using both supers and subs with no problems if I set it up correctly. For me it is just so much easier to use than the magnetospeed and doesn't change the POI that using it over the Magnetospeed was an easy choice. I don't plan on trying to hunt down who I loaned the Magnetospeed to as they are undoubtedly getting more use from it that I would. [/QUOTE]
