LabRadar finally showed up!!

[K0na_stinky]

I pre-ordered a LabRadar a few months ago and it finally made its way to me. I'm blown away by Hirsch. They quoted me a price when I first pre-ordered and when they were ready to ship I got an invoice with the price $100 less then my quote!! I'm not sure if it was a pre-order deal or they came in at a better price then they figured they would, but I was supper happy to see it.

Its also pretty cool to see that the LabRadar is made in Canada!

Here are some pics. I'll do a better review once I get some more use out of it, but it seems to work great with centerfire and not so great with standard velocity 22LR.

I bought a cheap ball head and made the tripod for it. I wanted something really low for prone shooting on uneven surfaces.

I added toolless screws for the leg adjustment after i took the pic.

I really like the one I got for our club except it goes through batteries pretty quickly .
I need to get an auxillary batt pack for it.

Whats the ballpark price for one of those bad boys?

Love the idea of these but will have to wait for the second generation and hopefully a price reduction before trying to add one to my kit..

Its not too often the item comes through at a lower price than quoted. Thats really good of them to do that.

I got one for mine, finally had to charge it 2 weeks ago since December. Logged couple hundred projectiles with it before needing a recharge.

Why would you want to wait for gen2? Whats wrong with gen1?

If you compair to a magnetospeed the price for a labradar doesnt seem quite as bad.

What made the labradar worth the money for me was the ease of set up. For long range shooting i can "chrono" every shot when im out if i want, without the hassle of setting up and aligning a chrono.
