[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 704495, member: 8833"] You name the problem with a chrony and I've probably got a story to tell you that is similar. One of the biggest problems with the chrony's is the sensors have a tendency to get loose. If there is ANY MOVEMENT of the sensors ever so slightly you can get really wacky readings. Some days seem good, some days Ol' Murphy takes over. I have went so far as to build a box that is cut out on both ends and placed it over the chrony and attached it to my tripod - that seemed to help the most but it sure is a PITA to get everything set up. I was to the point of almost shooting my lying *** chrony one day when we set up 3 chrony's back-back-back. That told me more than anything. Chrony has not charged me when I've sent it in but I will tell you I always call them, get a techs name and when I send it in I send it to his attention with a polite letter exposing what is going on. I pay the ups to them and they have ppd the return. Does it make a difference? The first time I sent it in - it was a huge difference. Not so much after that but the first day it hits 5 below around here I send her back as I feel I won't be using it for a couple weeks. Do you know anyone with another unit or 2. Set them up and shoot through them. Make up your own mind on your machines accuracy. When I did this the first time I started with a .22lr and worked my way up to a 300WM with about 5 other various calipers in between. By the way - they calibrate them with a pellet gun at the factory as they do not have the facility for anything bigger. I would call them and explain your pains - give them a chance to give you some suggestions. How old is your unit??? [/QUOTE]
