I saw the video this morning. Ray Helms from X-Ring YouTube channel will be reviewing it soon. Looks interesting...
I hope SHOT 2024 will have better products this time around other than a million variations of double stack 1911s and flow through cans. I hope Garmin does a good job with the chrono.
4m40sec for info. X-ring does some cool stuff and seems like a real nice guy (never met him, so no idea).
Anyone know how much it’ll cost?
Wouldn’t surprise me if MSRP is at least $1000+. Knowing how the price point are on their other electronics probably $1200 at least. Again this is just a wild ass guess.
Edited to add per discussion below MSRP will be $600.

That wouldn’t surprise me either, but I’m hoping it’ll be way less than that. Their shotgun trainer is $1000 bucks and hopefully the chrono has way less tech in it to lower the price.
That would be great but somehow doubt it for some strange reason. If so, I see a bunch of people flocking to it regardless of where it’s made… assuming it’s made overseas.
I have to admit that a larger company behind this excites me a lot more than a startup in another country charging twice as much for a product that only works half the time...
I know of 2 products you mentioned.
I personally have owned the Andiscan for awhile (labradar for years and magneto speed since version 1, prior to that). It has worked for me 100% under expert mode. I've traveled all over the country shooting matches with it and it has been flawless.
With that said, the Garmin unit is chef's kiss.
I was at the grind and G A precision was taking pre orders to be delivered later this month for $600. This thing is the titts. If anyone is thinking about a different more expensive radar, I recommend waiting for this.
Glad I saw this post If Garmin is making this then I have confidence it will work as advertised.
This is the one I will be getting bye bye Magnetto Speed it was nice knowing you!

I 2nd your whole statement.
BTW; Note the accuracy> 0.1 fps. It demonstrates that they use ultra-high frequency and sufficient power level.

I didn't see that listed in the promo. Where was it?
I just searched YouTube and google I couldn’t find anything on this.
The andiscan seems great but it’s one guys hobby, if something happens to him it’s pretty well fucked for future support. I’d rather have something backed by an actual company. The FX true ballistic was going to be my next buy but at the price point guys are mentioning on the garmin that’s hard not to wait for.

We've had one for several weeks, and they're the real deal. After having it for a day we put in a stocking order and designed a rifle-mount for them. For $599 they're going to be the go-to radar chrono overnight.
We are going to work with Garmin on how they want this to take place. The chrono is their baby, so we want to follow their rules on how they hit the market. Hopefully we will know in the next day or two, and if we will be doing a pre-order, I'll post it here.
I’m assuming the mount you guys made is the one in post #4? Are you able to share more pictures of it?
Yes that's us. I'm going to wait to post more photos/data on anything until Garmin clears timing, but it's set up to work with ARCA off the side of a rifle, or a QD Pic mount (like an ADM) off the top of a rifle, and an also be taken off the rifle and the whole assembly be thrown on your tripod. They will be available when the Garmins begin to sell, including (at least from us, likely others) as a package purchase.
I'd be in!
Also in!
When will they be available? Also in.
100% in -
I won't make a bunch of people happy, but I'll always be honest with you guys.
A group buy, especially at the launch of a product like this, is unlikely. Those of us with orders in have already been told to expect only a portion of the order to be filled at launch. They have seen more dealer demand than they anticipated.
Once stock is easily available, we may be able to do something, but I wouldn't count on that until at least 6-10 weeks after launch, depending on when the demand settles and inventory stabilizes from Garmin.

So how does it work shooting in a middle of a zero line? Are other rifles triggering the unit?
Watch the xring video above, he addresses that. Says "flawless" on a line with 20-30 shooters.
The units auto-correct for this so you're not getting the other guy's response. With other units they will sense one another and get on different wavelength, and with a bunch of rifles on a line it seems to know who is shooting from closest to the unit. Garmin thought things through here.
Also, it triggers seemingly every time with suppressed 22lr, even while rifle mounted back by the magwell. It's everything a radar-based unit should be.
Yes
I personally have seen used LRs drop to the $400 range in anticipation of the Garmin unit. One local guy sold his for $300 since he is first in line for a Garmin.
(don't quote me on that one) Has Garmin explicitly stated it will hold up to recoil if mounted to a rifle? Not necessarily talking extremes like 50 BMG, but say 308?
And now it's gone.
Always funny when industry people work on promos and put them on Vimeo thinking we can't see them!
