[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 1061671, member: 63138"] FearNoWind I disagree with your disagreement (just kidding). The Magnetospeeds are great and superior in every way except for two things which for me are a deal breaker. One - hanging a Magnetospeed on your barrel will shift point of impact and... Two - you have to attach it to the rifle. Many times I'll be at the range rotating through 4 or 5 rifles shooting one and letting the others cool. In the worst case, I'd have to move the Magnetospeed with every shot. For those who aren't concerned about these things it is a great choice since it can't be misaligned. A chrono that is misaligned by 5 degrees in both pitch and yaw will read a 3,000 fps bullet as ~ 2,900 fps so the auto alignment is a big deal. I use a laser to align my chrono so don't have an issue with misalignment but if you don't want to mess with that it is a good way to go. [/QUOTE]
