Labradar ?

Just bought a labradar the other week. Used it three times so far. Awesome product. The interface is a little clunky, but once you use it a couple of times it is easy enough to figure out. The app is worth using. An external battery can be had on Amazon for cheap and is worth it. Aiming and setup aren't that difficult, just follow the directions. If you have the cash it is worth it.
 
Con for radar when it matters is that the bullet base is the radar target. This means that smaller bullets with a very small boat tail base don't work because the radar reflection is inadequate. I suspect for the vast majority of users this will never come up but verify that your application works. One pro says the Radarlab is nice but that he sometimes is obliged to use something else that works for a given application so he often uses a bench mounted not barrel mounted Magnetospeed or an optical screen system

For the 35P a flat surface in front of the bench and sandbags to deal with the wind on many ranges are in my experience the main issues. I have also been known to shoot through the screens without first checking the dip switches to match current screen spacing.

Just the same I am happy with my 35P. In fact I bought a second 35P used as the secondary market has dropped with the rise of competition. I'll add a radar unit only if I run across a great bargain or even a fair bargain after a windy day with my 35P.
How do you mount a Magneto speed to the bench?
 
My LabRadar picks up 204 caliber boat tail bullets without an issue.
Just saying....

And just for the record, I owned and used a Magneto Speed for about a month. I literally threw it in the trash can. I hated it and never got it to work reliability.

So the bottom line is you will get numerous opinions just like the Ford, Chevy Dodge debate....
