[QUOTE="jpfrog, post: 1474312, member: 32525"] I say get a Chronograph first, then a range finder. Hard to judge your dope without knowing your velocities. Also hard to know other important numbers like energy, etc. at given ranges. You don't need to go Magnetospeed unless the sun is never out where you live and light is a problem. I have one and like it a lot, but I started out with a cheaper model that I got used for around $70 and that performed well for years. That said, if you can BORROW a chrono to measure your velocities initially, and again after 100 rounds or so, that would be nice and would save you some money for your range finder. It's a tough call- hard to know what to dial at range if you don't know your velocities, but hard to know what to dial for once you know your velocity if you don't know your range. o_O [/QUOTE]
