Looking for a quality inexpensive chronograph, maybe not the cheapest but I don't want to spend thousands either.
What do you use and is there any glitches?

I know right! After I got mine I couldn't believe how I got along without it.hunterwinco said:It is nice to finally know the actual speed of my rounds instead of just guessing.
I bought a shooting Chrony F1 from cabelas and I think it was like 89.00 on sale. After 30 years of loading, I finally broke down and parted with 89.00 . I'm sure there are a lot of features, remotes etc etc that are nice to have, but I am very pleased with this little unit. It always reads and doesn't ever show garbage readings.

Define "inexpensive" as one man's inexpensive is another man's expensive.Looking for a quality inexpensive chronograph, maybe not the cheapest but I don't want to spend thousands either.

Yes, I shot mine several years before I finally finished it off. That time I was using an AR15 with a carry handle mounted scope. Line of sight WAY above the path of the bullet. But the FMJ bullet passed on through part of the metal body and did not affect operation, so it was a mere flesh wound. Next time it was shot with a cast pistol bullet right through the brain pan.I like my Competition Electronics ProChrono Digital Chronograph, but the brain is down range.
Chronograph Users
My observation:
There ain't but 2 kinds of chronograph users...
1. Them that's shot theirs
2. Them that's gonna shoot theirs.
I'll admit, I'm in the first category.
Scoped rifles are the bane of a chronograph's existence.
CE charges 50% of the msrp or less to replace one that's been shot.
"While I am not 100% on this it looks like the Pro Chrono Digital will record and save 9 strings of 99 shots so that should get you what you are looking for.
They also offer a USB interface for a PC that uses their own software. I have no clue how good these things are but the advertising looks good.
