Indians For Guns

Hi People ,

I am toying with the idea of importing a chrony from the US. Appreciate any inputs from you all regarding the following points :

Brand : What brand/model do you recommend and why ? I understand Oehler is supposed to be a premium brand, however very expensive.

Cost : The TOTAL cost involved. That includes product cost, shipping, possible accessories, customs duty etc.

Legal Issues : Is there any restriction on this item ? I wont be surprised if there is. If a plain scope can be restricted, any damn thing can. This should actually be the first point.

Accessories : Any things that should also be bought with it, because if there is any problem, I cant service it in India. Like you get spare mainsprings and washers when you get a spring rifle from abroad.

Delivery : Since I am based in Bangalore, would it be delivered here, or does it need my physical presence at Mumbai customs ?

Fragile Item : Since this is an electronic item, rough handling will screw it up and I am not too sure about our customs guys.

If you are only interested in finding the velocities of airgun pellets, then a Combro cb-625 Mk.4 will suffice. The owner, Robin Hewitt, provides the best customer service I have ever come across.

Before one makes any suggestions, please indicate the purpose and your budget.

As Mack The Knife mentioned, what sort of budget do you have, and what useage do you have in mind?

I have a Chrony "Beta"

It works well, but to be honest every once in a while it will not record a velocity accurately. It is no big deal to me but if I were shooting expensive ammo an Oehler 35P would probably be cheaper if you total the cost over a few years.

If all you are wanting to do is measure air gun pellets and it doesn't matter if you have to shoot 5 or 10, then one of the $60 models should be fine.

There is no restriction on the import of chronographs.

Purpose : To measure pellet velocity.

Budget : Now thats a little hard. Coz whenever I go out to buy something with a budget in mind, it always somehow expands if I like what I see.
Take it at Rs. 5000.00 ($98.00 approx) and thats TOTAL cost as I mentioned in my inquiry.

Could someone clarify the points that I have listed ? Thanks a lot.

This one is on sale for $70:
