I got the Oehler 35p when they first came out and it still works fine.

I've used a Chrony Beta Master for about five years and find that it's easy to setup, use and have no complaints at all.

I really like having the remote display right at the bench when I'm shooting.

Nice thing with the oehler,,if you screw up,you only replace the eye. I tryed to do some chrono readings on less than optimal days,Hit an eye one time,,but it still reads. If it had been any other unit,I think I would have smoked the whole thing. Have fun!! Clay

Oehler 35P-I've had one for 11 or 12 years and never had any serious problems. If you do have a problem their service after the sale is second to none. Jim

I guess it depends on what features you are looking for - printing, averaging, etc. A basic functional unit would be the Alpha Chrony. You can get them for about $75

For as long as I can remenber Oehler has been advertised in the American Rifleman.When I bought I got the Oehler 35p.

I have an F1 Shooting Chrony. It works very well. The only complaint I have is that I wish I would have spent a little more & bought the the Alpha or Beta model instead.

Does anybody have any experience of the CED Millenium, I really like mine, with the infra red sight screens. Easy to use, just don't know how accurate they are, guess nobody does unless you have several to compare at once?

I tried out my F-1 Shooting Chrony the other day. I think it needs to be a solid 10 feet from the muzzle. I was only about 4 or 5 and it did not like it. Also when you wiggle the wires you get an error message. I think you get what you pay for ($79.00). Did Oehler stop making chronographs for sportsman? Thanks, Peter.

I have the ced millenium and it works great the infrared doesn't make a mistake and you don't need a proof screen,but most of the time I don't use the infrared if it's cloudy i take off the diffusers and when it's sunny I put them on works great.
