[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 447170, member: 25383"] one fellow that bought a new Ohler ran a comparison test between the older Pact PC2 and the Ohler using a custom built light bar. He found what was roughly a quarter on one percent difference in readings. Which was right? Who knows, but when you talking five or six fps at 3,000+ fps; it just isn't important. (but that extra $120 buys some nice hooch) Unless Ohler has re-engineered it's mounting system this time around, I wouldn't trust any reading comming off of one. But of course you could spend almost as much as you paid for one and buy the Square Peg mounting system. Or you could have spent $25 for the light bar (Pact), and been done with it. The one thing neither chronograph does, and which would be a real plus; is to have a USB plug in for an external hard drive (or even a fash drive) with a small key board that you could leave small notes in. Then you could simply load the data in your home PC for further reference (I know I'm wanting too much!) Also none of the chronographs I've shot thru are alignment friendly! You'd think by now that they'd all have somekind of an alignment doo dad to sorta bore site it (I built one for the Pact light bar, but it still isn't perfect). And why can't they come with a bullseye level mounted on them? As I see it none are perfect, and they all should have an upgrade path gary [/QUOTE]
