Just ordered an Oehler M-35P.  Very excited about it!

Make sure you get a 2ft rail to go with it. The 4ft is great but requires 2 tripods to set up. I've only used the 4ft a couple of times. The 2ft gets the job done handily. YMMV

You can make your own 2ft rail by the way. Of course spacing of screens on the rail is critical so you have to be able to dimple the rail accurately.

Actually I'll be placing the screens about 10-15' apart so I will probably use separate tripods.  Oehler says you get less error in the readings shot to shot the further apart your screens are.  Sierra recommends a minimum of 10' apart and the first screen 10' from the muzzle.  I think that's to keep gasses from the weapon breaking the plain of the sensor and giving a false reading.
