Chronograph

[Sydney Monk]

Can anyone recommend a good chronograph that’s in the $150 or less range?

I use an FX Chrono graph, the pocket chrono and it "works" for its intended purpose for me. I do doubt its consistency though but it gives me a round about, you can find them used for around $100.00

The Caldwell I had that I gave to a friend worked great and I think that one is still under $150 new...

No thrills but does the basic job .. it the first one I grab if I need a string to check something ..

Lots of threads and posts on them around the forums to review

I rarely bolt it on just rest the muzzle in the yoke thing and shoot .. it's quicker and easier ..lol

I bought an old Chrony F1 years ago....don't even know if they're still available...but it's worked fine for both my powder burners and air guns. Also, being the basic model, very inexpensive.
