The cheap china chronometers have arrived

[dunz]

Chronos have arrived ahead of the gun. Hope to be testing this weekend. Thanks to everyone on the chronometer that doesn’t break the bank thread for your links and discussions. Landed both these for $37.38 delivered. If two cheapo devices agree on the same number does that mean that they are accurate?

I also looked at the LMBR Chrono R2A shooting chronographs and I may still pick one up down the road. Anyone own or used the R2A? What are your thoughts on the device?

tthat one on the right is a good one. I have exact same one. So far reads very well.

 

[Gramps-Too]

I just got a Natechrony & really liking it. The couple of times I’ve used it has worked well

Just as a sidebar, be prepared to shoot it. It happens. Everyone who owns a chrony is eventually gonna put a pellet through they chronometer. Sometimes, if you get lucky, it will still work. It's just one of those things, so be prepared.

I only dented a little sheet metal from a glancing shot and it still functions...lesson learned.

We all do it. . It just seems to be one of those things.

Yup... just lucky I never hit it with my 7-08 or any of my other powder burners for that matter.

 

[JimT66]

Ha, yeah, instant chrony death you hit it with that!

I shot the shoot through version of the one on the right 6 times before it died.

Man, that's one heck of a tough chrono you had!

Never seen the silver one on the left. Do you have a link for it? I've got the one on the right and it works well. Thanks!

@Dogowski sure, here is a link to the silver one. I've used it twice, and seems to work fine, and it does connect to a phone

I followed the link
And now am confused
What keeps this chrono aligned on your barrel?

Thanks

You guys shooting the crono would have a hard time shooting a garmin as it sits off to the side! Expensive but worth it in my opinion.

It comes with some mounting hardware, some plates and posts. Haven't found a great way yet for the HW95 as the front sight is there. I just free handed it for a couple test shots.

I'm satisfied with my cheap Australian chrono.

I had the one on the right. It lasted exactly one shooting session. I was afraid to mar my barrel with the attachment vise, so I strapped it to a tripod and positioned it in front of the muzzle. Everything was going fine until I hit that little bulb that sticks up and shot it right off. The device is toast without it.

Now I use a Competition Electronics that I saw on ebay, with the light kit for less than $100 and it connects to my phone via blue tooth. I want to make a THICK Lucite shield for it.
