Member-Deleted wrote:Hi all, has anybody used or had experience with the small FX branded Chronograph they sell for $389 I was just wondering as my experience with Crony's is very limited but with air rifles it becomes a necessity, I've seen the Lab units (way too expensive) but unfortunately the Caldwell unit is the next step down, however they tends to act up a lot from what I seen from my mates unit and heard from other users. The FX unit is designed with Air heads in mind so therefore limited to 1300fps or slower, not a unit most shooters will want, but for me it would be ideal for my FX and Anschutz rimfire.

I have read on a couple of forums and the FX page there is a few issues with these chrony's, think they are awaiting an update for the app that runs them, there is another similar unit available, a mate has one and I think he bought it from one of the Pommy airgun shops that sell online, it's apparently the same as used at the World FT Championships and it may be slightly cheaper than the FX unit. I chronograph all my PCP airguns to find the sweetspot for fill pressure and shot curve/string, only 2 airguns are regulated so need to know how many shots before dropping off the reg.
Edit:: Found it but buggered if I know how to link it here, have a look at Blackpool Air Rifles, they have the Air Chrony
scoot wrote:I'd love some advice too. Fx air rifle on order and as mentioned above, a chronograph seems mandatory with the amount of different adjustments available. The fx pocket chrono does look like a neat little unit but the only info around is all promotional. At the price point is it better to go with a more versatile system that can be used with higher velocity???

I can't wait and have been online shopping for all the other bits and pieces in anticipation.i went for the .22 for availability of pellets etc and most reviews, tips etc on the net are based around this caliber.however I am very interested in light .30 slugs later.

Member-Deleted wrote:Scoot, all FX's shoot amazing out of the box but mostly only with JSB pellets, don't waste your money by trying a million brands and weights, if you want it to shoot .6 at 50 it will do it from the box with JSB's, later when you get right into it you can muck about, as I mentioned we tried over 15 different brands and weights, not one was up to the accuracy that FX's are renowned for, remember FX were designed to use JSB's. Different story with slugs and there you have no choice but to use H&N Grizzly which is a semi slug that's the case for now anyway. FX's come pre-tuned from the factory so shooters don't need to do much apart from obliterating a target or Game Oh a last suggestion, if you want it, pick the best FFP Mil scope you can afford, make sure the parallax is adjustable down as close as 25mtrs, will make your shooting a lot easier, all of mine are set up this way and wear 4-16x50, keep in touch curious how you go, or PM me for anything, I spent a fortune on unsuitable scopes only to change them out once I found out that PCP's are a different beast to other rifles.

I have one and have used it for rimfires with no problems. they are about $300 new for the sporter model or you can get the delux model for about twice that or for about the $300 second hand. There should be no issues buying second hand they are not something that is prone to wear.
