[QUOTE="Holmes, post: 26464, member: 457"] Its the F1 Master. Basic unit with the addition of the remote display for bench reading. Here is the link to their product index so you can see what they are all about: [url="http://chrony.ca/products.html"]http://chrony.ca/products.html[/url] These units are fine for normal reloading and such but I just don't trust them for consistent precision as it relates to LR ballistics. You will get along fine with a unit such as this as long as you don't try to get data on days where the lighting is fickle. A good rule of thumb with a Chrony is it needs to leave a shadow. If the sky is so overcast that a shadow is not present, you'll start to get errors. Not a big deal for normal usage, but when testing expensive and laborious components, one does not want to lose data on even one shot. This is my second Chrony as my first did not have the remote display. Trust me... you want the remote [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Natchez has the F1 Master on sale right now for $95 which is a pretty good price. You can also buy reconditioned units for less than that direct from Chrony. The recons I have seen were rather ugly and showed their previous usage. They did seem to work OK. I just don't do the "beat-to-hell" look with my equipment so I purchased both mine new. If you're interested, I would take $70 for mine, shipping included. If you're budget is really tight, I believe the reconditioned units can be purchased for $50. They are an F1 but cannot be upgraded. If you want to see mine I can shoot a couple of pics and E them to you. Regards, [ 04-19-2003: Message edited by: Holmes ] [/QUOTE]
