Looking to purchase a chronograph

"If someone only shoots rifles, and only shoots factory ammo, or is an occasional casual rifle reloader, the Magnetospeed is probably the more sensible option."

That's funny! I guess since David Tubb uses a Magnetospeed, although with an attaching system not one barrel mounted, the above quote must mean he shoots factory ammo or is an occasional casual rifle reloader. LOL


Yes, of course, the Magnetospeed is accurate and the cheaper of the two, so, as long as he understands its limitations, it’s a sensible option for someone like the OP looking for their first chronograph. And, just because it’s cheap, does not mean that a more experienced shooter wouldn’t want to use it, too.

Not sure how people shoot their chrony when shooting from a bench. Take a couple of minutes to set it up and look down the line from both directions. Finally, check elevation. Be deliberate and it will last a good long time.[/QUOTE]

Shooting from the bench, for me, was solved with a laser bore sighter. Made it easy for a lone shooter to set up the chrono on a tripod.
