Gentlemen,
Why is mounting the Magneto-speed off barrel such a major problem? I don't mean to sound pissed but I'm totally fed up with researching a solution for this. 3 viable options are David Tubbs, MK machining or Wiser. I bought a wiser, it cracked twice. I sent pictures to the company and they agreed it was mounted correctly. They promptly responded and sent out replacement parts. It also promptly cracked again.
MK and David Tubbs does not offer cant adjustment which of course means if your bayonet is not parallel to the barrel, one of the sensors will not read and your data is now down range. So, I'm again looking for a solution and nobody offers one that will accommodate common rifles. IE no cant adjustment for common stocked rifles.
The facts:
-Recently it has become common knowledge a chronograph provides time saving information to load development.
-Labradar has mixed reviews and will never be used on board for ELR or PRS shooting (Nothing can be on the ground)
Magneto can be mounted to the gun, once set up your done, no moving crap around for other positions or targets, and no error messages that it didn't read the shot.
-Many serious shooters use a handguard on AR platform or Chassis rifles which places the mount parallel to barrel which equals consistent reads. However, how many of us load develop and shoot rifles with stocks that do not run parallel to barrel which will not work with MK Machining or David Tubbs mounts for magneto.
-If the magneto bayonet is not mounted parallel to the barrel, one of the sensors will not read and your load development may as well be over for that session.
I've seen all the contraptions folks have cobbled together to make this work. Successfully-Myself included....and they work!....For One Particular Rifle!! That's not a solution, it's a non consistent, futile attempt to get past one hurtle. If these machinists are making these mounts they are in business to make money, but their product only caters to those with mounts parallel to barrel. Any one else that owns a much more common rifle is left behind and this leaves alot of money on the table. Seems quite obvious to me, so again my question is WHY is this such a problem? Blows my mind Magneto, now owned by I forget who, hasn't addressed this. I really rather not hear the response: Mounting the device to my barrel doesn't effect POI or change group size....you need to shoot more.
If any of you have a reasonable solution outside of gluing pvc, bending threaded rods, balancing your always moving rifle behind the bayonet or otherwise concocted late night brainstorms...I really like to hear/see them.
