Chronograph for $24.91

<< < (2/7) > >>

SILENT SQUIRREL:
Looking at the pictures it appears as if this particular model does not have any way to mount it to thebarrel.
If that is important to you there are plenty more out there
Just my 2 scents

MisterAP:
There are two main types of these chronos—barrel mounted and tripod mounted.

Tripod mounted has many aficionados although imo the window for the pellet is quite small and the chances for damage are quite high.

Barrel mounted ones seem much better but I’m fairly certain they can’t handle big bores or anything that has a bigger blast of air. I don’t know that I’d want to use the tripod mounted one with a big bore either though!

HunterWhite:
I like the barrel mounted one. It's the only crony that I never shot!  ☹

stroo:
I tried to order that same chronograph from that same vendor earlier this year.  I was immediately charged of course but after 10 days of no movement I cancelled the order.  It's bad enough you have to wait 6-8 weeks to usually get your item from ali and, at least for me, there's a high potential for the package to be lost or stolen (disappears at customs).  It took a few days but I did get my money back.  That was my last straw for aliexpress, too many problems with them these days.  I do still want a cheap chrono for basement tuning, might have to try bozos.
Just my experience...

Not a big bore, but a pretty good blast of air.
Yesterday mine handled 36 shots from my Sumatra 25 carbine.
The range was 58 to 80 ft/lb
