Skipper, i was actully just looking at the beta master at midsouth for $108.

Is it worth while to get the one with the printer? Or is that just a luxury item.

BunG, I have the Chrony Beta Master and it does a great job... as long as I don't have someone shooting short barreled high vel guns right next to me. Also I have heard that the customer service at Chrony is great, 1 guy sent in his chrony for repair after putting a round through it and all he paid was shipping.

hozz: Again, get the best you can afford. The Ohler 35P would be the top choice, but my Chrony Beta has been chugging along now for more years than I can remember, and it didn't break the bank.

If you get a Chrony, use it for a few years, you can always step up to an Ohler, as the Chrony would sell in a heartbeat to one of your buddies or online.

If you get a Chrony, don't loose the instruction manual. The button functions take a little getting used to.

Leo: Did not know the Ohler 35P was out of production. If it is, it's a real shame, as that was considered about the best of the best. :?

Ran across the CED M2 Chronograph from Competitive Edge Dynamics, any opinions? Several places on the net stated that this one was more acruate then the Ohler 35P...

How fast

I have a PACT 1 XP, one channel was DOA. Called them and sent it back and they sent me a new one. Not as picky about light as my Chrony but that maybe because it is 14 hard years old (and still works).

The Oehler 35P is out of production; however they still supply parts and service. If you can find a used one, definately worth it. I bought one a couple years ago, and its the best I've ever experienced.

Sorry, Ohler no longer sells the 35P. :cry:

I have this chrony and really like it. I bought a "package deal" from Shooters Connection. They had the cheapest price I found.

It has a place for a spare 9 volt battery and you need it. That is my only complaint is the battery doesn't last real long. They offer a rechargeable nicad pack for it and I think I'll try that. It comes with software and a usb cable to download the data to your computer.
