[QUOTE="itchytriggerfinger, post: 1962741, member: 24854"] I have used and relied on a Chrony optical unit for years. I finally got a Magneto speed and was extremely surprised at the results when I used both simultaneously to compare. About a third of the time the readings between the two only varied by 2-3 FPS. Another third of the time the Chrony was reading 70-80 FPS higher. Then there were several times the Chrony gave a ridiculous reading over 5000 FPS. Needless to say, the Magneto speed has been more accurate and reliable, I am sure that lighting variations affect the optical unit in a major way. The only complaint I have with the Magneto speed is the strap they use to secure it to the barrel. I have had it tightened to the point where I am worried it will break and it seems like after two shots I have to retighten it. [/QUOTE]
