    Yeah we have one. Great bit of kit for non suppressed rifles. No problems with getting a speed every shot

    They work really well. Some don't like how they affect point of impact being attached to the barrel. Others have come up with ways to mount to the stock to overcome this. Some cut them to use with a suppressor, I've found magnets work although I haven't proved against another system. Numbers look right for charge weights/projectiles/barrel etc.

    Would recommend.

    I like my sporter. The first shot is always a bit of a worry. I also got the small device that lets you plug it into a tablet or a phone. Then you can download the app and store your figures, it's a useful feature.
    Some people don't like the fact that you're basically wasting a few shots because they will go to a different point of impact.

    Had one. Works well if you don't mind slight adjustment once load settled on for final sight in.

    Looked a touch expensive but appears they are going back up in price. Was NZ$350 retail when I got mine. But you can save a few $ here assuming shipping would be similar:

    Apparently they don't like muzzle breaks, but then what does? I'm told a couple of right size hose clamps and a shaped piece of metal to act as a blast deflector fixes that though.
