Which chronograph?

[sirmissalot]

I don't know the first thing about chronographs but its time I get one.

Any recommendations?

I have an older Shootin Chrony.  It doesn't have a lot of (any) bells and whistles, but it has worked well for me.  If I had the money, an Ohler would be my first choice although the CED does look intriguing.

After doing some google searching, that does look like the one to have but looks like its discontinued? The one place I found it for sale it was $575 

In searching for the oeler I came across a review that talked about the Magneto speed, that sure looks a lot simpler to set up everytime, although still pretty spendy, but the review on it was really good. Anyone have any experience with it?

I looked at the CED and the mixed reviews worry me... but I also realize you can't always believe the reviews

I just got a Magneto Speed and love it. It seems like I have to use all the spacers provide to make it fit right for the barrels. but it is easy to work. I haven't yet used the SD card in my computer but understand that it will download into a spread sheet format.

Magneto Speed V2 is the one I would get. Read more about it here:

I'm definitely leaning towards the magneto speed, but I was thinking I could get by without the extra money for the V2, I will have to look into it a little more I suppose but that definitely seems to be the one!

Been awhile since I've paid attention to chrony's, but as of a couple years ago, I wouldn't buy anything but an Oehler.

Chad, get the magneto speed V1, the V2 gets you a plastic box and some shims for a can. Check out Rokslide for a recent review done by a guy I trust. It's under the long range section.

Magnetospeed v1 here. I love it. Yes you can down load on to pc. It's extremely user friendly

I highly recommend the ProChrono. I use mine a lot and have zero problems. It is accurate as I've ran the same loads through it on several occasions with extremely close readings each time.

I had an Oehler 35P for a while that I got in a trade. It was a hassle to set up and I constantly got errors. I sold it for $550 and bought a new Shooting Chrony Alpha Master, and a used rifle. The Shooting Chrony gives me the exact same readings with less setup time, less bulk, and fewer errors.

That's ironic. I had the exact opposite results.

That's ironic. I had the exact opposite results.

That's exactly what everybody else told me! It's a shame too because I really wanted to love that thing.  That's alright because I was only into it about $300 worth of trade material so I feel like I came out on top.
