Ok so i have enough cash for one more big ticket item. So help me decide which one to get. A laradar or kerstel 5700 w/ab. I really want the labradar but could probably make do with cheaper chrono for a while if i got the kerstel.
 
Ive heard if you plan to run mainly suppressed the lab radar can be a pain. I've also heard that you can do just as well with a Bluetooth weather meter and an app.

If if you're not suppressed I would go chrono. I wish I could measure every shot instead of those I do sparingly with the magneatospeed
 
I dont plan on suppresed. Every time i think about supressed i think about all the shit i could buy with that money. I really want to start shooting prs production class.
 
I dont like the poi shift of the v3 it seems i would have to do everything twice. Please correct me if i am wrong. Cause i am leani g toward getting the kerstel 5700 with the spplued ballistics. I could do the v3 and kerstel.
 
I have 4 chronos, including MS3 and Labradar, as well as the Kestrel Elite 5700 AB. It is a difficult choice that you have presented. My advice, given your parameters, would be to buy the Kestrel, and a Pro Chrono Digital for your chrono (a little over 100.00). The Pro Chrono I have is pretty stable under varying lighting conditions, and has shown itself to be on par with the MS3 and Labradar for accuracy. The down side is the setup time, which is a PITA. But, when you're on a budget, you sometimes have to trade convenience for accuracy and price.

If your budget allowed it, I'd recommend the Labradar and Kestrel AB unconditionally.
