Being able to collect chronograph and group data simultaneously is becoming important to me, so I've decided it's finally time to ditch the light sensor chronograph. Getting it aligned just to get good chrono data is bad enough, trying to align on a target as well is next to impossible. Add in the regular issues around the light sensor machines, and it begs the question, why did I wait so long? Price isn't my primary concern, but ease of use and consistent accuracy are. The two most common cons I see on these two are:
Labradar, fiddly to get setup and on target. Also issues with dropping shots, not a good thing when you're doing load workups and only firing 3-5 shots.
Magnetospeed, POI shift when installed, and some have also had mounting issues.
On the M, I'm not concerned with POI shift as long as it doesn't also impact group size. Does it also impact group size, and if so, how badly? And is it all the time on every gun, or just some guns and some of the time?
On the LR, I know there are cheap and easy "fixes" for the aiming issue, but are they really effective? I also know there are other not so cheap fixes, but I'm not real interested in dropping significant coin for needed "improvements" on a machine that's already significantly more expensive to start with. And just how fiddly is it to get setup? Not real interested in trading one set of time wasting hassles for another.
Still doing research, but I'm leaning toward the V3 as the most appropriate for my needs, assuming it doesn't totally hose my rifle's performance at the target. But if you think the Labradar is all that and a bag of chips, I'd like to know how and why. Any other thoughts will also be much appreciated. Later.
