[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 855680, member: 5219"] Bodywerks, Hope you have better results than I did with the superchrono. It is supposed to register from something like 8" from muzzle to any distance you would like. Not the case, most small rifles and even a black powder rifle worked at 2-4 ft but a 7mm/375 had irregular velocities and none were the correct value. After researching this issue found an update saying the magnums require setting the chronograph quite a distance away from muzzle. With the controls on the unit and display screen almost horizontal it makes usage very difficult on a range with other shooters. I found if I were to step on a chair I could read the display with binoculars but couldn't manipulate the controls till the next ceasefire. Even setting the unit up at 12 ft it didn't register the correct velocities on my magnum rifle. When I sent it back to Rifles only they were happy to refund my money. I was told they talked to the manufacturer and some units were shipped with a faulty computer "chip". I liked the concept of a unit that works regardless of lighting conditions. Think I'll purchase the lights for my CED next. [/QUOTE]
