FX Outdoors chronograph has arrived

[Mountainman]

I guess somebody has to be the guinea pig. Will read the manual (sorta) tonight. Hopefully take it for a test drive Thursday morning.

My darling bride bought it for me for my birthday. I must be special.

I must be special.

That's what they told me when they put me on the short bus.

Well the ante for her birthday just got raised!

I see a hammer copper cup in her future.

Range test this morning and I really really like this thing. Set it up on the bench in a minute and go to shootin. Reads everything while setting under the roof. Love it!!

 

[Mountainman]

Here's a couple of screenshots from this morning. I really like this machine. BC information will have to be verified but it looks like the advertised BC of .172 G7 may be a little low. This is with 137 HH bullets in my 300 H&H



Did I mention I really like this machine?

Regards

The display looks really nice and clean. Man, now I want one!

 

[ButterBean]

Looks Good

Have you ever used the LabRadar and if so, how do the two compare. The labradar took me quite a few trips to become proficient with its buttons....I would rate it's ease of use as a 6/10. Now that I've had it for a few years, I really like it. Curious to hear how easy this one was to set up and use in comparison.

 

[Muddyboots]

Simple:
"So easy, a @Mountainman can use it"!
Says it all for me!


Plus hearing all his raves on the phone!

It looks awesome MMan.
The BB question is.....can it really read 4K plus?

 

[Muddyboots]

Says 4K+ whatever that means.

It does not. Programming is from 400 to 4000. May be upgrades in the future I don't know. I only have one rifle that shoots over 4K and I have two chronographs that go over. I'll use this one for everything else

Muddy summed it up fine. Very easy to use. I finally read the directions after I had it a few days and found out it will even calculate shot drops with the app on your phone. Very impressed so far.

Still going good?

Still going good?

Still going good! I really like this thing. I did find the other day that is needs to be sighted a little left of where you're aiming (if you have it set on the right side) to make sure the bullet is passing through the beam. I didn't have it quite right and although it measured the velocity it didn't calculate the BC. A quick adjustment and it was working fine again.

Maybe it was a .270 exceeding its velocity ceiling? Asking for a friend downunder....
