I just discovered that Oehler stopped making the 35 last year, no more available. Is there a good second choice? I need one that has a wired or wireless remote control.

eBay for a 35P and get your spare sky-screens, printers etc NOW from Oehler before they are gone too.

Or check out the CED Millenium.

CED Millenium

I lost my Oehler 35 this summer in a garage fire and to my dismay found they were no longer making it.

I replaced it with a Pact Chronograph ($230 from Cabela's). The brown truck just delivered it yesterday, so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. I did take it out last night and put it together & I also read the owners manuel cover to cover (about 8pages).

Here are my impressions:
1) it is very similar to the Ohler 35
2) comes with a printer that is selective
3) it has a lifetime gurantee - if something breaks they will fix it free of charge and they state you don't need the receipt (they built it so they will stand behind it)
4) if you run over it with your truck - they will also fix it at cost - just doesn't get any better than that

I have the Pact Mk IV and like it very much. It went thru a house fire right here about four years ago. Cleaned it up and it works fine. Printer works great also.

Used 35Ps are still around, 2 just went for 455 each on fish-bay. A member sold one on here for 350-375 about a month ago, and I bought one a couple of weeks ago at the local gun show for a whole $200. There were 3 spare skyscreens that went for ~ $60 on ebay also. They are $45 each from Ohler.

You guys have been very helpful. Now, one more question, please. Up here in the Seattle area we have a lot of cloudy days. My old Pro-Chrono often "hangs up" and needs re-setting. I'm not sure it is caused by the lighting. It does it even with a fresh battery, so low voltage doesn't seem to be the cause. With a new chrono that has a wire connection, at least I can re-set conveniently. Question: Should I go for the infra red screens?

I don't have the infrared for my CED but feedback from those that do indicates that it eliminates all error and lost shots.

I ordered a CED with IR screens from Shooter's Supply (Russ Haydon), 253-857-7557. Russ knows his stuff and is very helpful. When you call, he can actually answer technical questions about shooting, reloading, ballistics, etc.

Thank you all again, and best wishes for the holidays.

I have the CED Millenium and I'm very happy with it.
