Kuskokid,

Dunno when you got your Oehler 35, but when I got mine maybe 3 years ago it came with Ken's instructions on setting it up quickly. Instead of sitting behind the rifle, then getting up to tweak the alignment of the chronograph several times, he suggests leaving the (unloaded!) rifle on the bags with the scope aligned with the target. Then get in front of the chronograph and look back over it toward the rifle's muzzle, then tweak from that end until the muzzle is pointed 6-8" over the center of the screens. That saves a whole bunch of time, and works on smaller chronographs too.

It takes me at most 5 minutes to set up the 35, from the time I get out of the pickup at the range until the first shot goes over the screens.
