Another vote for the Shooting Chrony here. Had mine since March 1997 and it's still going strong. Sent it back to the factory about 10 years ago and they upgraded it to Master level for me. Forgot what that cost but it was reasonable. Have checked it against my buddies Chrony and they both seem to agree. Worst thing that ever happened to it (so far) was a guy I used to work with split one of the metal rods with a .17 Remington (at about 4200 fps IIRC). (Got a similar diameter replacement rod out of a hardware dept. and cut it to length). The metal rods also have a bright red tape marker about 3/4's of the way up so when using a scope I line up the horizontal reticle with the tape for enough elevation. At least the Chrony itself hasn't been shot yet but if it was I'd get another Chrony and be a lot more careful.
