I just bought the sporter model from Grouse river received in about 5 days, handiest thing I've bought for years, fits in my shooting bag takes only 3 minuets to install. The sporter model comes with two rubber inserts the thin one works for the standard contour barrel, however on my standard contour 9.3x62 I used the thicker one because I looked down the barrel and could see the bayonet with the thin one. The display is very easy to figure out gives each shot velocity and avg. with a push of the button.

I purchased my Sporter model from Mystic Precision. Am pleased with it. My "add on" tips include the use of a small piece of rubber from an old bike tube placed between the web strap and the barrel to mitigate "slippage" caused by recoil. Also picked up a brass rod from Home Depot to insert in barrel as a "clearance checker".

Those are a couple of good tips 260, I had slippage on my CZ .223 good thing I checked before it slipped back far enough to cause some damage.
