    Chronographs???

    What are peoples recomendations on Chronys?
    Which brand do people prefer and why?
    Im looking for a quality chrony at a decent price and have been told about the CED's?

    Just wondering what the thoughts are on the subject.
    Baldbob suggested to me an Oehler, but man can't really afford that.

    Anyway thoughts.........................................

    You could just borrow mine, your not far away. They are only a guide and verifacion is required by shooting at knowen distances anyway.

    How often do you come to Alex
    If its guns, tits or tyres it's going to cost you lots of money

    Oehler 35P with at least 6 feet spacing but 12 feed is better
    For best results try to do your chrony testing on a cloudy day.
    1000yds is fun, 1500yds is getting interesting, 2000yds is exciting, 2500yds will blow your mind

    G'Day Fella's,

    Whilst I personally own a Oehler 35P myself (went shares with two mates decades ago), up until recently they have not been making them.

    The only other Chrono I have had experience with that I was impressed with, was the Pact Timer/Chronograph!
    Several other mates have Chrony brand Chrono's and they seem very happy with these!

    Hope that helps

    Doh!

    G'Day gimp,

    Not to sure what they cost these days?
    I was away bush last weekend, and seen an advert in a Rifle or Handloader mag (Wolfe Publishing), saying they were making them again.
    It wasn't until I read this, that I realised Oehler had stopped making them!
    They are bloody good but it all depends on what you want, these days I might go for the Pact unit!

    Has Santa Clause (aka NZ Post), arrived with some presents yet?

    Doh!

    As far as I know, NZ post has not yet delivered the goods.


    I don't suppose you had a tracking number?

    Postage is a bit, can't remember what mine cost but by the time you chuck GST on it as well is quite a few $$$$.....well worth it though if you are serious.

    The CED 2 with the IR screens is a pretty good compromise.Smaller( still sits on a tripod) and cheraper than the oelher, not as good but with 2 foot sensor spacing and IR Iv found it to be pretty acurate.The IR screens take out the varience you get with light change.Its not an Oehler but its a good step up from the shooting chroneys if thats what your looking for.
