While I have only used the magnetospeed sport model a couple weeks now I like it very much so far. It' easy to set up and I trust it's accuracy. Once you initally set it up on a rilfe it's really quick and easy to attach to your barrel. You need not have to buy anything else to make it work like tripods etc. It's pretty small and lightweight too. I do wish the cord on it to the box was longer but other than that it's been great. I like that it can be used when a optical chrony may fail to work or give accurate readings such as during low light conditions. It is clearly made cheaply so care should be taken and this type chrony is not as versitle as a screen type as it will not measure non metalic things like paintballs, arrows and such. It's mainly just for rifles.

A bit fiddly to set up, the control unit is difficult to use because of the awkward one button menu functionality, but the functions as advertised. Appears to record accurate data.

The Sporter is a different chronograph; its design is compact, simple and portable. Their application to the canyon of the rifle is easy. Bullet´s velocity is always measured at the same level, when leaves the canyon. Although manufacturer’s instructions show nice graphics in the same position I have installed the Sporter in the canyon in different positions to adapt its holding to different rifles designs, e.g. lever action Rifles (Picture). I even fixed it upside down on revolvers, giving me precise and repetitive measurements. Its only limitation is with short gun pistols where blow back interferes with the fixation to the canyon (An adapter should be designed for these purposes). For me, as a Reloader, has been a pleasant experience, simple and useful to use, free of the limitations of brigtness. Its competitive price makes the Sporter Chronograph a great friend for the reloaders. I fully recommended. Read full review

Very pleased so far, with one day at the range. Read about faults but don't agree with them. Used second shim on top of barrel to sandwich barrel, with strap worked great, NO sliding. It's not built like an AK47, but then it's not a battle weapon either. Fun having EASY chrono readings without having to set up a device on a tripod in just the right place to shoot through !!! Have established my first velocity nodes, now to focus on those loads to see how well they group. This, along with spacing by ogive rather than tip, seems to be helping me tighten up. Yea!

Set-Up is fast and the instructions are easy to follow. Only designed for rifles, not handguns. Attaches right to the barrel of the rifle, so no tripod to blow over in the wind. Works on the bullet passing through an electromagnetic (EM) field so no problems with changing ambient light from passing clouds. Has three sensitivity settings for different velocities. Holds up to 20 shots and provides avg. vel., standard deviation, highest vel., lowest vel., and extreme spread. Very reliable and easy to use. Light and compact, fits right into the shooting box. I've had other chronos, but this is the easiest and quickest to use. Didn't need all the bells and whistles of the upgraded model, just a handy chrono to check my loads, and this is a good one.
