Ralpharama Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 I was just looking on RFDs website and they are offering the above chronograph for £199. I thought Magneto chronographs were a lot more costly than this. I have a Chrono but it is a big faff to set up. I made a led light set up so it works well in our dark club tunnel. My club has a LabRadar which is good, but it never seems to be there when I want to use it. Do they MAgnetoSpeed Sporters work in poor lighting in a tunnel?

One on top of two Posted April 26, 2019 Report Share Posted April 26, 2019 The sporter version is nowt like the V3 , both very different being the sporter is a very basic version. V3 has different sensor and a much bigger display and head unit , also much more options, both very good but one is at least twice the beast than the other . If your a hunter that just want to check his favourite ammo from time to time then out in the field then the sporter is for you . If you want full and comprehensive data on your target / long range load then you want the V3 . Also both will work in total darkness if you felt the need haha 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggersqueezer Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 the sporter tells you fps es and sd so all i want from a chrono. works on magnets not light so fine in the dark you just can't use it with a moderator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch-22 Posted April 27, 2019 Report Share Posted April 27, 2019 I too use the sporter and it’s brilliant. I cannot fault it for giving me all the key info I need (ES/SD/avg velocity over 5...or is it 10??....shot string). It gives you all you need to layer with your Kestral data and feed into your ballistic silver and data book. Excellent for the money, has the fundamentals you need....without all the extra bells and whistles (unnecessary for my needs). The only negative is the crappy box it comes in. But that is a very minor point and has nothing to do with the function or quality of the magnetospeed itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minion Posted January 3, 2020 Report Share Posted January 3, 2020 Does it work with a moderator fitted? 6.5 CM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nun_hunter Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 Late to the party on this one but you can quite easily adapt the sporter to work with a moderator by modifying the bayonet and strap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaz Posted January 19, 2021 Report Share Posted January 19, 2021 I'm at the point of seriously considering buying a Magnetospeed-Sporter. All I need is the velocities of a 10 shot string. ES, SD and average velocity. So........ Do the Sporter's electronics work with a moderator fitted? And is it more a case of finding a way to mount it to the moderator properly in order for it to work. Is this correct? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one and used with a .308 with moderator by rigging it up to fit. Not ideal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Popsbengo. Not ideal as in unreliable readings, or just a pain to mount? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
