There's no doubt the Labradar is handier to set up than the 35P. But am still using my 35P now, for several reasons. One, I already have it, and don't do my chronographing at a public range, so the set-up isn't a problem. Have used it so long, I'm also ready pretty quickly.

Two, apparently Labradars have problems with small-caliber bullets, even some boattailed .224's, and I do a lot of chronographing of little bullets, which the Oehler easily handles. Also, the Labradar also has problems with velocities above 3900 fps, and on occasiona I also chronograph some really zippy loads.

That said, there's no doubt I'll be buying a Labradar in the not too distant future--especially if I can somehow keep myself from buying more rifles. Just one average rifle would fund it....
