My MSv2 has been the most reliable, and never given me a single issue. Once I learned that I needed to use a special setting for .22LR, I haven't had any issues since. It's never missed a shot, and never gave any crazy readings. It's just super inconvenient compared to the BSm4, which is why I bought one of those. Plus, it's not attached to the barrel or suppressor causing POI shift or harmonic affect.
Didn't get to the range today... Will be going tomorrow. I'll take it with me and test it. It's fully charged, so I hope the GD thing works...I'm getting tired of this shit.
Agree that none are 100% reliable buy both my MS and Labradar are are darn close. Can't remember the last time I did not get a reading on either. Especially since I starting using the DIY trigger for the Labradar that you can buy or build yourself for a few bucks.
Anything to report?Well... It started raining here today....So I doubt i'll be able to go to the range to test this thing out. Can't win for losing this week. Looks like next weekend will be the soonest I'll be able to go test it.
Not yet, going tomorrow, if the weather holds out.
I believe there was a reference somewhere to a 20 degree cone that you want the bullet to traverse.
I'll be able to test the weekend after the 4th...
Yes, of course I'm keeping the app running and open on my phone, and even disconnecting and reconnecting the unit to try to unfreeze the fucker so it will read SOMETHING....ANYTHING! At this point I'd be happy to see it pickup a mosquito flying by.
Who do I contact to trade in my old non-working bullet seeker?So as things stand now, the old bullet seekers can be traded in for improved SpeedTracker mach4 free of charge , product kinks should have been ironed out in SpeedTracker, and the new updated app is up to improve the user experience.
Unfortunately, prices also went up so the best deal was the early birds that now get to trade in old Bullet trackers and get new and improved units in return.
I myself am also sending my very early Bullet Seeker in for replacement even though i haven't had issues except for sigle freeze up till the battery runs out.
Klara is still doing the after-sales.
I am making some accessories for the speed tracker to extend the utility, will post once i test them on the new unit.
* am also a Speed tracker distributor so might not be unbiased
I see now in US they are available even trough Midway USA

Hmm, interesting, it didn't work even if you put the speed tracker on the suppressor directly? I wonder why, as this should be the best option. I need to try putting my unit on the barrel directly under the muzzle break.So, I finally made it to the range today... Over the last few weeks, I killed the battery in my BSm4, and let it stay dead for a few days. I charged it fully, updated the App with the newest version (there was a recent update last week), and then went to the range today. At first, it didn't read anything (suppressed). But then I removed the cans, and it immediately started reading velocities on my 5R .308 with just the KeyMo muzzle brake. It read all of the shots, and the shots on my .260 Rem (unsuppressed), and both of the old Rugers (no muzzle brakes, unsuppressed) without issue. I tried placing it EVERYWHERE to get it to pickup with the cans, but it wouldn't pickup a single suppressed shot (with or without the parabolic cone).
So, all-in-all, when it works, I DO like the unit. But I am not a fan of the fact I paid $1,100 for a doppler unit that won't detect bullets from a suppressed firearm. That was one of the main reasons I bought it. I give it a 6/10... If it worked with my suppressors, then I would rate it much higher. Maybe they'll update the unit to work with suppressors, and hook us all up with an updated unit when they do.
I had it tripod mounted, but tried it in every location possible. Even right up beside it (as close as of it was mounted to it) at the end of the suppressor, and it still didn’t read.
Given they way Bulletseeker works suppressor no read is just a question of positioning the unit , as the suppressor body crates shade to the radar behind it . I dont think Andy scan is any better in that respect maybe the mounting point is just higher out of suppressor shade.
I just read a thread on the accurateshooter forum that someone solved the speedtrackers missed readings issue with a 3D printed picantiny rail at an angle. It seems that he wnated to cross the barrel line with the speedtrackers line. He reported that this solved his issue with the .22 LR readings and is planing to to the same thing on his 6,5.
I'm going to do the exact same thing with mine in the near future

I've had the FX True Ballistics radar unit now since June 2023. I want to say it is the easiest to use, have not had any miss readings and the battery use is great (4 hours of using it and 75% power still remaining). I can go two full days without worrying about the battery. The only complain i might have is that their app was as good as the Bulletseeker one. You don't have to use the APP. However, to keep the data, you use the APP.
I've not tried it yet. I'll be shooting my CZ457 next week with the suppressor. will let you know how it does.
I shot my CZ457 (22LR) with the suppressor today and picked up every shot without a hick-up. Lot tested different ammo without any problems. I placed it close to the rifle - see pictures below. Then shot my 1911 for some load development.
