APPROVE. Please post feedback when you find the best distance behind the muzzle end of moderator for reliable readings (specifically when mounted to the side like this). I think I'll be doing something like this soon.

This is great! If you are willing, please post source for the 30mm CF tube and other supplies (end cap). I'd love to follow your lead and make. I'd like to not have to put the FX Radar on the muzzle.

I'll do more testing tomorrow. Chrono was working 3ft into 2x6..put hole in the wall to. Everything's on amazon.. huma website now sells fx one. Tired of waiting.

Thanks for the post. I quit using my FX radar a while back because of having to mount it to the barrel.

I quit using mine since I bought a 50 dollar ebay chronogra-h.
My fx chrony is not reliable, and yes fresh batteries each use did not help. Works great when it connects, but that is a 40/60 occurrence.
The cheap Chinese one works every time, the fx is a 200 dollar pos.

If I were you I would call the FX customer service you might just have a bad chronograph I haven't had issues like you say you do with mine. yeah the batteries can cause some issues but I used mine off and on for months with no problems then around month 3 or 4 I had to switch the batteries, I also don't keep it on or on my gun the whole time when shooting, just check speeds then I'm good to go.

I posted a similar setup I did for my Crown and got the ideas from a video from Ernest. It helps a lot!! His video is linked in my post, and his is specific to the Impact.
For those looking, you can just buy the size you want on eBay.

Yep! Once again R.C., you hit the nail square on the head! How ya doing Guy?
I made a bracket that slips over the ldc and holds the very dependable Chinese chrony. it may be blasphemy, but it is superior to my Caldwell, Chrony Pro, and the FX. GRRRRRR!!!

Thanks for the motivation! I'm pleased with the results. Got everything from Amazon for $38 and there is enough for 2 FX radar mounts and a full extra set of rings!
Comes on/off with a thumb screw.
I've never gotten small ES or low SD with the FX radar on any of my rifles. I will now fiddle around to see if location will provide more accurate readings.

Just got the 30mm end caps. Fits perfectly. Carbon fiber tube is sturdier than the shroud. Works at night. Due to time change can't test in day. Reading 1035 at night.
