    New acoustic chronograph

    I've gotten my hands on a new acoustic chronograph. I can't say too much about it yet as I have used it only once. What I can say for sure about it is:

    Very compact - great for me who need the space in the backpack
    Very easy to use
    Records all shots regardless of light
    Expensive compared to my Shooting Chrono, but that one is a PIA to set up compared to this.

    Now that I've read the instruction manual I know to use the spirit level to get the chrono as a level chrono gives better readings (goes for all types pf chrono really).
    Remembers 99 shots, will not go away if you turn the unit OFF. You have to press RESET. Fps or Msec by a button touch, but no ES function.
    HUGE sensor area, I'm seeing the possibility to record every shot I make during a target session - should make for formidable V0/ temperature data.

    So far very happy, will have to see if it'll survive in my backpack...

    Norway started the same thread on the "other" forum under Reloading. It would be bad form to post the link wouldn't it? A lot more info has been posted there. US$368 ex EBAY is a tad expensive. I am keen. Good Christmas pressy for me.

    Pink is perfect! Just doesn't get lost.

    Try emailing them for a quote (vertebrae dot no). The deal I have for them to host my videos it that they give you guys a percentage off if they can. I saw the $368 price on ebay, list price is NOK 2495 on their webpage.

    Happy with mine so far, but haven't used it much. Will be a review of the chrono in the next issue (?) of a gunmagazine here, I'll see what he writes...

    Wait with anticipation for your reply which I am sure you will post.
    I worked it out at NOK 2495 converted to NZ $ = NZ$536.50 minus 25% sales tax = $NZ402 then less a "Norway" discount if they will oblige.
    Have no idea what shipping and insurance is from Norway. Have heard of some horror stories from the UK but have also been scalped many times from the States.
    Assume at really worst case NZ$80 that would make it around NZ$480.
    Then gst and the other fees will leave it something like NZ$590 at your door.
    Be interested to see how close my gestimation is. I am still quite keen on one but I already own 3 other types of chronographs so may be a bit hard to get the necessary approvals.

    I know this is getting a bit off topic and I don't want to put a hex on the ability for you to sell yours but I am now on my third CED. They have all failed with the computer interface. Not that you need to use that - pencil and paper work just fine. First one was the early model which I didn't mind upgrading from to the M2. But then the M2 failed but was replaced under warranty. Otherwise they are excellent machines. My mate has a 3 screen Oehler and I shot mine in tandem with his and they both read the same. The only difference was his had a printer (so what). I can have mine set up and be shooting in a fraction of the time it takes him to set up his. End of off topic!

    Nice shooting Norway and a great video as always.

    How cheap are we talking Red? I could take it off you for what it would cost you to put in the dump...
