I THINK MY OLD F1 CHRONY IS FINALLY GOOSED!.

Using 14.5 grain Superdomes,, the average was 867fps for 24ft.lbs!....Now, it does feel healthy, but it can't be THAT healthy. Must be near enough an impossibility, methinks, especially with the short stroke it will have! The only thing is now, I don't want to be altering the set up until I know what it's actually doing.

I ended up taking the scope off this morning. I do prefer the '35 on opens. If I don't wear my glasses I can see the sights fine. And shooting at a larger target at 11 yards, the target was also visible. I'd struggle to see, say, a one inch bull clearly.

Checking the finances to see if I can make a chrno purchase happen........

I got one of these chronos off Ali Express https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004820929140.html

Dirt cheap & works. Gave exactly the same reading on my 510 as an FX that a chap had at the range. It fits over the end of the barrel & even works indoors after dark. has it's own internal battery too.

Only down side is the power reading is in Joules, but there are online converters.

I think that my 80 can stay on opens, it was a bit of a revelation using them. I might even get a foresight raiser & try a diopter on it.
