I have a Pact chronograph and bought my first one in the 80"s and really don't know how accurate it is. Mainly I use it to try and verify velocity when working up a new load. I know I can get by with out a chronograph. Once I settle on a load I will shoot it from 25 to 500 yards to see where bullets land. That is what I go by, where the bullet lands.
For most all Alaskan hunting the shot will be under 200 yards. My wife bought me a nice Leica 900 range finder several years ago for Christmas. Every year I have it around my neck. I keep thinking eventually I will have a shot that requires ranging, but.....
