I am looking at cronograghs. Tired of trying to barrow one. I have never owned one and don't know a thing about the various manufacturers or models. What would you all sugest for a good easily used basic model or would you suggest something higher end?

What is the best source to buy it from?

Thanks,

JPK

I have the most basic Shooting Chrony. I have to write down each shot, and do the math for average velocity. I find it easy to read at 15'.

I have used it for load developement and it has been trouble free. Paid $60 for it on EBay. Printer would be nice, but all the goodies increase the cost.

I own a Gamma Chrony! It's easy to use and the printer and remote screen is great to have right there by you!
Best price I've seen is at D&R Sports
Gamma Master Chrony

Been using the Oehler 35P since it's inception, but alas Oehler is apparently giving up the hobbiest market to Chrony. I would strongly trust Rusty's advice. You want to concentrate on the shooting and let the tool do the work of recording the statistics. MHO

Had a PACT I since 1989. I’ve never had a problem with it. It has a life time warranty that doesn't stop with the first owner. No bells or whistles no printer to break. Just all the functionality you need in my opinion.

Click on Warranty

Oh and they still make them!

Like Rusty, I have and can highly recommend the Gamma Chrony. All you need and more, and compact, light in weight and user friendly, too.

I paid a couple hundred for mine (with case and all the other bells and whistles) and it was some of the the best money I ever spent.

JPK,

35p is the best. Better get one before they are all gone.
