The Affordable MagnetoSpeed — $179.99 Sporter Chronograph
If you have been waiting to purchase a chronograph… now is a great time to buy. You can get the new-model MagnetoSpeed Sporter for under $180.00. You can set up this device in a few minutes, and you never have to go downrange to fiddle with a tripod or fuss with wires. The MagnetoSpeed Sporter is simple and effective — a no-hassle solution.
We’re impressed by the Sporter chrono (as are other shooters — this unit is selling out nationwide). Like the V3, the Sporter faithfully records shots, even in complete darkness. Shot strings are recorded digitally and can be transferred to a smart phone via MagnetoSpeed’s XFR accessory (and Apps).
The MagnetoSpeed Sporter chrono is less than half the price of previous MagnetoSpeed models. This is big news for shooters who always wanted a MagnetoSpeed but found the $379.00 cost (for V3 model) too pricey. The new Sporter Chronograph costs just $179.99 at Sinclair Int’l and Brownells. It offers most of the features of the more expensive models (see chart below for details) and has a updated sensor. MagnetoSpeed says its new Sporter is “Ideal for contoured rifle barrels (sporter barrels) and long-barreled revolvers.” The Sporter Chronograph Kit (shown above) includes: Bayonet Sensor, 3.5 foot Data Cable, Remote Display (with Battery), Strap with thumb nut, Two V-block spacers, and compact storage box.
Available NOW: MagnetoSpeed Sporter $179.99 at Sinclair Int’l and $179.99 at Brownells.
Is the MagnetoSpeed good enough? Well consider this, Derek Rodgers uses one of the original (full-size) MagnetoSpeed Chronos for his load development. Rodgers is the only man on the planet to have won BOTH the F-Open and the F-TR National Championship. ‘Nuff said.

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 have a really fat barrel (up to 2.0″ diameter), get the V3. Magnetospeed also says the V3 is needed for airguns, shotguns, and muzzleloaders.

The Sporter Chrono attaches quickly and easily. It has a 3.5-foot-long cord, and will work with Muzzle Brakes and Flash-hiders up to 2.7″ long.

Ahh, nice price. May own one yet.
It picks up cast bullets easily, too.
Harmonics? Has any one experienced POI changes with this? I would really like to check one out but am slightly concerned with strapping something to my barrels. Granted they are heavy barrels but…
Glad to see accurate chronographs are finally in the “every man” price realm.
Ive used a friends quit a bit during 20 shot strings and never had a POI change.
I’ve seen loads get completely re-tuned by Magnetospeeds. They may not affect the truck axle barrels BR and F-O shooters use, but they do affect lighter profile barrels.
I would still get a Sporter version for measuring velocity in the field if it worked with muzzle brakes up to 3.5″ like the V3. They bayonet they offer with it will not work with many popular brakes like the Badger FTE.
Does anyone know the Magnetospeed resolution for rifle bullets at about 3000fps?
I have a ProChrono. The clock is slow enough that if you see a shot at 2800fps, you will never see 2801, 2802, 2803, 2804 or 2805. It will display 2800 or 2806, nothing in between.
Thanks
