    My A1 Chrony recently "Died" but I'd grown so familiar with it that I simply bought another !

    Just ordered a Chrono-R2H. The firearm version of the R2A imported from Poland. Incredible piece of kit and can be used in LOW light.

    Having just blown the front sensor of my combro (fifth unit since they first came out,) I invested in the BAR Polish model. Well impressed.

    I'm going to treat myself to another chrono' in April and I was undecided whether to go for the Skan or the R2a. All the feedback seems good for the R2a plus it takes up less room than the Skan and comes in a fair bit cheaper. Unless the negative comments start coming through I think I'll be taking a trip to BAR.

    gtfreight,

    The 'Polish' Ra/R2A's have an internal memory (IIRC, 250 shots), that strings can be stored to and later dumped to a PC - I have found this feature to be most useful

    NOTE : If you choose to dump the data to PC with the R2, you will need a USB to Serial lead - I use a StarTech.COM lead (Part No ICUSB232IF) that I bought from Amazon.co.uk.

    Have fun & a good Sunday

    Best regards

    Russ

    Thanks Russ,
    Do you know if the Air Chrony mk3 is also worth considering?

    It would have cost less for a rebuild and an alignment guide!

    gtfreight,

    The AirChrony is similar to the 'Polish' chrono', but is, IIRC, made in the Czech Republic (?).

    The AirChrony uses a USB interface to connect to PC, so is easier that way.

    I have not used, or seen in the flesh, the AirChrony, so cannot speak to its qualities.

    I do use the AirChrony software to process the PC data dump from my R2 chrono'.

    Have fun & a good weekend

    Best regards

    Russ

    Thanks Russ,

    When I go in to BAR I'll ask for their advice, they've been pretty impartial with me in the past.

    Just replaced the case and v block on my very old Combro. £5.60 including first class post. Arrived the day after I placed the order. Also asked about repair if faulty. £7.50 fixed price repair. I have a mk4. He still occasionally repairs mk1s. Do other chrono companies offer backup service like that? I only need to make sure my guns are legal. I don't need to know downrange numbers. Doug

    DougieH,

    I doubt whether many companies offer the service that Robin at Combro Ltd does.

    Then again, my R2 has never gone wrong in the year I have owned it, so I have not had a need to find out what lmbr's service is like.

    Have fun & a good Sunday

    Best regards

    Russ

    Oh bugger, another disadvantage of getting up early for work. I went to bed at 7pm and just after 8 a Skan comes up for sale and is snapped up straight away.
