Shooting Chronys are pretty crappy, I've found the Pro Chrono to be much much more consistent. One of these days I'm going to pick up a Oehler.

Only the best for me. ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/378fan/2011-09-13101302.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v514/378fan/2011-09-13101253-1.jpg) While a superb device I'm not sure the Oehler 35 is still, unquestionably, the best chronograph out there. Oehler's own 43 PBL may trump it and the PVM-21 available from NECO may as well. Both make the price charged for a 35 seem like a bargain though. Yes I know the 43 PBL isn't available new any longer.

How about in cold weather? Does anyone have experience using the PRO Chrony in the cold? The discription says operating temps from 32-100F.

Pro Chrono hands down
Won't have another Shooting Chrony

Never had a problem with Chrony provided I used magic tape on the slits. My knuckle headed buddies shoot them often but that is not the fault of the unit.

I just ordered the ProChrony Digital. Hopefully it shows up before the end of the spring. All of these places are warning us that orders are delayed significantly. Unfortunately, I couldn't find it locally so I had no other choice.
So....I ordered it and decided that if I was going to pay shipping, I would order 100 7mm Balistic Tips and another 50 Accubonds for the 7mm-08 while I was at it. There.....now I feel better and less anxious.
I will report on the results after I get a chance to play with it a little.
