Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters New Garmin chronograph

Have put about 200 rounds past mine so far any not a single issue

Will have to reserve a spot next to the dial phone for my Chrony

Yup. This appears to be a quantum leap, in convenience anyway. I’ve seen some struggle a bit with their Labradars, and one old fart insisted on putting his on a tripod in front of the bench, shutting the line down a couple of times while he futzed around getting it right. The Magneto Speed seems like the best budget option now. Mine was equally easy to use, just a bit more trouble to set up. Results were excellent.

Could’ve bought a gun or scope for what the Garmin cost, but I think it was a wise investment.

> no the unit is not free just discounted some , i drive a pickup always , as far as your negative post screw you arse hole . > i do see some loonies have posted some positive outside shooting/testing this Garmin unit nice to know . thank you much,Pete53 > " today at my place its 12 below so this Garmin unit if used outside today would be a test for this Garmin unit ?"

From the online Garmin Manual: Operating temperature range From -10º to 55ºC (from 14º to 131ºF)

That’s not the fault of the device, but user incompetence. The
LR is really not that difficult to set up or use. It’s certainly not perfect, especially from a software/firmware perspective, but it’s miles better than the other options (prior to the Garmin).

And BTW, quantum means tiny.

Again. Walk the talk and buy this great deal and let us know how carelessly leaving it in your truck affects its performance. I’m not sure why anyone else would do that for you nor why you would expect it. Ridiculous.

I’m not sure why anyone would even consider a Labradar today.

It was miles ahead, but no longer. I’m waiting for someone to explain why or how it’s still better than the Garmin, other than ones out there are likely all paid for, a not inconsiderable thing.

The size of the Quantity or Amount isn’t specified…….

"I’m not sure why anyone would even consider a Labradar today."

You could get a like new LR with all the bells and whistles for about 1/2 the cost of a Garmin. That's one reason. I sold my LR with everything that cost me over $800. I sold it for $400. I've seen some for $350.

Might buy a LR when they drop to 20 cents on the dollar. But will probably wait for 10-15 which is where most electronics are after 2-3 years. Offered a guy 25 bucks for a MS V3 for chits and giggles as I dont really want it, think I pissed him off that i thought so highly of it.

Fella up the road has a Labradar, I shall stick with my Garmin.

One day at the range with the Garmin and my LabRadar found a new home. Don't miss it a bit.

I agree.

The “quantity or amount” refers to the fact that quantities are discrete at the atomic and subatomic scale. Referring to “large, significant” is a common enough misuse of the word, that it is widely accepted as legitimate, these days.

If/when my Labradar goes tango uniform I’ll probably go for the Garmin but I’ve had good service from the L/R.

I’ve read here of guys having problems setting up a L/R but I’ve never had any, never even uttered a cuss word during set up. The Garmin looks like a nice unit but I’m not selling my Labradar…it does whet I need it to do.

Same here. My F-18 pilot buddy bought two LR’s, sold me his second unused one for $250. No problems . He bought the Garmin and asked me if I needed a backup LR now.😂

I have no idea how long quantum has been used as an adjective, or misused as the case may be, but language isn’t static, and usage wins in the end. After all, the purpose of language is to communicate, not enshrine the past. I have my own small list of “cringe words” that are commonly abused, and don’t get me started on spelling, especially here where misspelling is almost a human right, and someone that uses a dictionary is a hater, or White Supremacist.

If I had a Labradar that worked for me, I wouldn’t replace it, but I’m glad I waited until the Garmin came out. My trips to the range involve toting too much crap as it is.

Bought the Garmin sold my Labradar it's a no brainer not even close between the two

I guess it's time now to sell my ballistic pendulum.....
