foxpig Posted May 12, 2014 Report Share Posted May 12, 2014 It's looking like I'm going to have to buy a chronograph as no one around seems to have one. What would you suggest the best of the cheaper chronys be . Obviously I want it to be as accurate as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
branko Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Looking at doppler radar technology, lab radar, not yet out, suggest to wait and see the reviews stateside. Was emailed prices of $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW58 Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've just bought one of the new Steinert SuperChronos - this is a sonic instrument based on passing supersonic shockwaves. Not the cheapest, but very versatile with a large recording envelope and the facility to be used at any distance from the rifle. £218 on ebaY, direct from the manufacturers.

Jamie Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 I've had a Chrony F1 for close on 12 years, and works perfect every time. Also has a socket for better data collection if needed. I bought mine for £74 back then, but they're only a £100 now Link below http://www.uttings.co.uk/p103530-chrony-f1-chronograph-chrony-f1/?gclid=CNmK__vvq74CFWgUwwodczsA1Q#.U3OfMVJwZLM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxpig Posted May 14, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 Great ideas thanks. I suppose what I really wanted to now was are these 100 pound chronys accurate enough. Jamie sounds like there alright. I got the chance to buy one for 40 quid so may just go for that. Cheers buys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammer223 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I ve also got f1 chrono and hate it ,screen up screen down to bright to dull to close to far move it left move it right just cant be arsed with it when funds permit magnetospeed for me, but as I don't like load development tend to stick with what works and spend time shootingand not driving myself mad searching for the holy grail lol regards lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I've personally only had that a few times. Never had any problems with left, right, or closer or further. Each to their own I suppose Jamie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 The Chrony models either seem to work OK from day1 or are total dogs, and there are a lot of the latter around. The cheapest reliable machine was (still is?) the Prochrono Pal from Hannams, a long plastic box type with the reading on one end. it's about £100 these days.

Akeld Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Chrony for me as well, never had brightness problems (I do live up North), I think mines a Delta model, it does everything I need it to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
