Good Points: Cheapest chrono available seems to be accurate quite easy to use calculates the ft lbs for you
Bad Points: Easy to shoot the sensors if not careful barrel mount not that secure
General comments: Had this chronograph for a year now and tested several guns with it.
It seems to be accurate but I have had some strange readings but put this down to temperature etc. (.22 pellet fluctuating between 610 and 780 fps)
Very easy to use--once you have entered the pellet weight the chronograph will tell you the ft per second and at the press of a button the Ft Lbs. It also remembers your previous results.
Be careful to make sure your pellet travels between the sensors and not at an angle. One easy way to do this (apart from looking down the front of the chronograph and straight into the barrel --unloaded of course!) is to put a dowel or round tube down the barrel and through the sensors, align it up from there.
Generally I find this chronograph easy to use on both pistols and rifles and usually just set it up by eye, but be careul of the barrel mount--this is a bit flexible and can have the pellet shooting at an angle.
Overall a good piece of kit that is easy to use.

In dim lighting conditions mine is out by 1/2 a ft/lb??

I bought one of these little chronographs for £39.99, and I think it was a good investment, It has a basic LED screen and you attach it on the end of your barrel when you need to use it, it is adjustable for all barrel sizes and also it will adjust to size if you have a silencer fitted
For an airgunner to keep an eye on the power level of his gun especially to keep within legal limits, or for an airgunner who likes to make modifcations to their guns it is a must have
It gives the pel ...

The CB-625 is a compact chronograph designed to be mounted on the muzzle of an air weapon. Its produced by a UK small company and is not always available, though Ramsbottom's came up trumps for me. It has a very simple design, a plastic oblong case about 6cm*4cm*1. 5cm. The pellet passes along the top of the oblong passing through two plastic hoops which contain sensors. The unit has three buttons, one to show Feet-per-second, one to show Foot-pounds and one to re-set for the next shot. Holding ...
