Kalahari Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Sorry for the partial hijack but is it true that Caldwell are producing a similar product for quite a lot less? David. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazzarM1 Posted January 3, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 May just do exactly that when the madness stops....go to the US fairly frequently should have gone twice last year ...but at least myself and my family are safe.

OSOK Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 If you get the option from the US ... Do it as mine hasn't missed a beat from 8g pellets to 250g bullets . Just be extra gentle where the power lead goes in as it's just thin steel housed in plastic and I heard a warning of this working loose but I don't know of any cases ?

Catch-22 Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 Why not get a Magnetospeed? The accuracy and repeatability is almost on par with the Labradar according to Litz. Super easy to use and won’t affect barrel harmonics when used with the MK picatinny mount. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Re-Pete Posted January 3, 2021 Report Share Posted January 3, 2021 The mini-USB power lead socket on the Labradar is ridiculously flimsy for such a piece of equipment............a standard USB would have made more sense. I'm looking at ways to modify mine. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I too use a magneto & MK Mount. So easy to use, unlike the Lab so I’ve heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve got one that I use with my Magneto Sporter. Works great. Just make sure you get the right adaptor if you have a Sporter or V3. https://www.mkmachining.com/product-category/chronographs/magnetospeed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a V3 magnetospeed but the labradar seems handy in theory for a multi rifle session but it also sounds anecdotally to be fussy, power hungry and potentially fragile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 I have just acquired an MK mount for my AI AXMC which fits well (not used in anger yet due to covid) but obviously this relies on the pic rails on the hand guard and is less useful for R8 or lee Enfield hence my interest in the Labradar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
