      6mmBR.com has one listed right now for $300

      The 35P is old school technology that takes 4-5 minutes to set up but is the most accurate chronograph on the market

        I saw a guy using one of these at the rifle range last year and I have been thinking of picking one up, but have not pulled the trigger. He seemed to really like.



        I believe this is the one with bluetooth and there was an app that recorded everything.

          That’s the one I’ve had my eyes on. Seems nice for the money. Reviews are great. I don’t need one often enough to justify spending big money on them.

            And it’s as accurate as it’s $125 price tag would suggest, I have one...

            The 35p mentioned above will be the most economical accurate option if found at that price, from there look at MagnetoSpeed and the LabRadar.

              Thanks for all the help guys, looks like i better get ready to spend a little more. Although it wont be used much, accuracy is needed.

                I have one similar to the posted link and it works ok but I’ve never tested velocity against another chronograph.

                I’ve definitely noticed some major inconvenience with velocity and groups shot.
                For instance I can shoot a 5 shot group and have 3 in the same hole and the next round 50-75fps faster but not have a poi change. Just doesn’t seem right.


                I’m thinking about a new chronograph too.

                  20+ years using my old Crony. Still works good as long as it is set up properly. Avoid direct bright sunlight and be sure it is set dead level. Sun shades work but sun angle must be directly overhead. When all is set properly it is accurate and consistent. I think these my be discontinued now but way back then they were about $100.

                      I need to upgrade myself. I have a Chrony beta master but it’s really old school. No way to save and download data.

                      I’m going to bite the bullet and get a Labradar.

                      I don’t like the magneto speed because I shoot velocity and group tune at the same time.

                        I'm in the same boat as you Mike.

                        Have you seen any pics of people using fixtures to hold the magneto in position without attaching to the barrel? Not sure it's really a viable option but one to think about.

                        More money down the rabbit hole but it's part of the allure of fine tuning.

                          Magnetospeed V3 and you’ll thank me later. No setting up to make sure it’s perfect. No issues with light or shade and works every time. Buddy has a labradar and his will miss consistently a few every time. After thousands of rounds I’ve only missed a few.

                            I have the Mag Speed with a fixture that mounts to front sling stud.

                            Finicky to set up, its only a matter of time till I shoot the Mag Speed and I will go LabRadar when I do

                              I’m running to magneto v3 and it’s awesome. But I do hate that I can’t run groups with it
