    I’m happy with the Caldwell I have. An ‘app’ gives good data download interface - but doesn’t work with a 30yd data lead!. Have bought the Caldwell lights for it and it works in all conditions.

    +1 for the LMBR RA2 works everywhere. An excellent piece of kit. As recommended by Giles (yes, that one.)

    I'm thinking of buying a Chronograph for my 12ft/lb air rifles and I would appreciate if you can recommend to me a make and model.

    The type I'm looking for is a free standing one, (not the type you place on the end of the barrel) that records and displays the shot information.

    Your suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

    The SKAN is as good as it gets from my perspective...and a great service and quick turn a round for any repair works....Cheers

    I have no idea what memory, if any, others have.
    I had a wee look at the skan, unfortunately it only goes to 40 odd grain.. I will be using mine for load develop on .44 and .357 as well as my airguns. Do you know if the prochrono works for large caliber firearms? I had one that was shot and I failed to repair it.. I don't it to Mick at the bash last year, I've no idea if he got it working or not.

    Hi Donald,

    As it goes I was just watching this YouTube.com post about the Skan Pro 1 Series 3 Diamond Chronograph and at about 3mins 50secs in to the review states that the unit can be calibrated up to 49.99 grains. Link below....

    Hi,

    I've got the Caldwell.

    You can buy the chronograph on it's own or as part of a deluxe kit, which includes a tripod, lighting kit and cable to connect to your phone.

    I've used it for everything from air rifles to .44mag.


    Cheers,



    Mark.

    Yes it does, anything from 21-7000fps, & you can program in any weight of projectile.

    Yes really.

    We bought them because the BFTA used them. We ran them through our winter league and on the majority of shoots with anything with an overcast sky they refused to register a shot. Changed batteries, put them in better light, the lot. We start at 10am so it was hardly dark.

    In the end we went with the Polish R2 Chrono which doesn't rely on daylight and has it's own IR and we've not had an issue since. The BFTA also stopped using Pro-Chronos.
