Diver One Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 It's probably been done to death, so apologies in advance im looking for advice on a chrono. Initially I was seeking a Combro but it appears he has ceased production. I 'think' I only want something basic BUT ,as always , will I want something better after a few weeks?😂 Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewulf Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 What speeds are you wanting it to test? For airgun use there are some cheap Chinese things on ebay for about £30 For 'proper' speeds you will struggle to beat the caldwell precision, about £85 on amazon, works well with all my centrefires. Then there's the magnetospeed for a lot more... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultrastu Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Lmbr r2h Very easy to use and above all 100% reliable . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Prochrono pal. Had it for years; is plain and simple - high, low and average readings for x number of shots; can be used at range. It's all I need, but understand that these - unlike me - have joined the 21st century with various digital gizmos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Downforce Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) I just stumbled across the BlueShot on eBay - attaches to a chrono to give a collection capability and some analysis Obviously depends what you are looking to achieve Looks pretty cool Edited July 13, 2021 by Downforce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diver One Posted July 13, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thanks for the responses for 64.5 years I never really wanted an air rifle now I have an AA s410 .22 and a Reximex regime/axis 177 both sub 12s.

Looks like tonight I shall be googling the above recommendations, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have read in a few places that he is still repairing and selling spares but NOT manufacturing the complete unit due to chip supply issues. It's a pity as I liked his unit ( my mate has one ) i have sent him 3 emails and had no response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I have , yes they are good but can give high or low readings depending on where you place them on the barrel I know exactly where to fit mine by testing with another chronograph I have heard good and bad about LMBR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biketestace Posted July 15, 2021 Report Share Posted July 15, 2021 As above, i will sell my Skan soon as the FX is adequate for what im doing now 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diver One Posted July 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 (edited) UPDATE I have talked to Robin and can reliably report as follows He is having trouble sourcing the 'chips' as the production run from the factory has ended. Additionally there is an issue in the Tooling used to produce one of the small metal components. In both cases he is in the process of obtaining alternatives. with this in mind he is only repairing ( subject to parts stock availability ), calibrating and supplying spares as per his website. He assures me this is only a minor hiccup/glitch and to paraphrase the words of Arnie, "he'll be back." But at present he does not know the timescale . I am not desperate yet, so I am going to wait. and, may I add? , what a very nice man to talk with!
