MagnetoSpeed’s New $189.00 Sporter Chronograph
Sporter Chronograph Kit includes: Bayonet Sensor, 3.5 foot Data Cable, Remote Display (with Battery), Strap with thumb nut, Two V-block spacers, and compact storage box.
Magnetospeed has just introduced a new bayonet-style chronograph that is less than half the price of previous MagnetoSpeed models. This is big news for shooters who always wanted a MagnetoSpeed but found the $399.00 cost (for V3 model) too pricey. The new Sporter Chronograph will cost just $189.00. It offers most of the features of the more expensive models (see chart below for details) and has a updated sensor. The MagnetoSpeed Sporter chronograph kit was designed to be used on barrels from 1/2 inch up to 1 inch in diameter. In can also accommodate muzzle brakes and flash hiders up to 2.7 inches in length. MagnetoSpeed says its new Sporter is “Ideal for contoured rifle barrels (sporter barrels) and long-barreled revolvers.”

MagnetoSpeed Sporter features
- Simple, one-button cycling display (shows recent shot velocity and statistics).
- Three sensitivity settings for fine-tuning.
- Easy access battery compartment, with 9V Battery included.
- Integral, quick-attachment system, with metal buckle, nylon strap, screw-in tensioner, and dual V-block spacers (thick and thin).
- Bayonet works with Muzzle Brakes and Flash-hiders up to 2.7″ long.
Q: Will the Sporter Chrono work with thicker barrel (i.e. greater than 1″ diameter)?
A: The manufacturer recommends the $399.00 V3 model for thicker barrels. But, wink-wink, if you have a 1.25″ barrel you can get this to work, based on what we’ve seen. If you need to go really fat (up to 2.0″ diameter), get the V3. Magnetospeed also says the V3 is needed for airguns, shotguns, and muzzleloaders.

The airgun, shotgun, and muzzle loader incompatibility would worry me if I was choosing a chronograph. Not because I shoot those items, but because I have a Magnetospeed V2, and I have to work through the low-speed/lead sensitivity settings to chrono slow moving LWSC loads in my revolvers. I suspect that the limitations here are related to the software in the sporter version. I really like the Magnetospeed that I own. I just caution shooters to check to see if they will work for your application!
These change the harmonics of the barrel.
189.00, thats me. There very handy. Throw it on during a 600 yard practice and get two birds with one stone.
Although I dont own one personally,,yet, ive used one at 600 and noticed no zero change.
AMazing price drop…could it be because of Labradar FINALLY hitting the market..
I purchased a Magneto speed sporter in February when there was a rebate on it and have used it several times. I also have the cell phone adapter which I highly recommend. I do see a zero shift. While working up a load in a new Brux 30″ 260 Remington medium palma barrel with a Pierce action and Eliseo stocked rifle. It shot 10″ high at 300 yards!
I just purchased the spotter and was wandering what the 3 sensitivity settings were for? Thanks
I just purchased the sporter model and haven’t recieved it yet. What are the 3 settings for? Thanks
