What a bargain, - the cheap, chinese chrony

[mark williams 7,549]

Well it landed lads, took about 2/3 weeks from that slow boat from China. ( £18 inc` delivery)

               Here`s the instruction booklet.

Well i thought, oh no you plonker, you got what you paid for- it cost me £8 with the ebay £10 voucher thrown in. 

                    Well i charged it up, pressed the single button, ON came on with two little horizontal lines  -   - , put the rifle into position and fired a shot off,- 251 mt/sec with the HW77.

                    So i went through all the spring rifles, took 5 readings from each, added the readings up and divided each set of readings by 5 to give me an average, accurate reading of each rifle.

  

After converting meters/sec` to feet/sec` on the computer i went to air gun calculator with the feet/sec and pellet weights to convert the readings to ft/lbs,- dead easy to do.

                    Here`s the results.

HW77 = 817 ft/sec` = 11.67 ft/lbs.

TX 200 HC MK3 = 810 ft/sec = 11.47 ft/lbs.

Pro Sport, 814 ft/sec = 11.58 ft/lbs

Classic FWB Sport 124, ( V-Mach kit fitted), 810 ft/sec = 11.47 ft/lbs

FWB Sport 127 .22 cal as standard, 610 ft/sec = 11.1 ft/lbs.

HW 97K tomorrow as dark was setting in.

                      Buy one if you need a chrony - accurate and cheap as chips. 

P.S. pellets used were JSB Exact Express 4.52, 7.87 g and also Falcon Accuracy Plus 5.52, 13.43g.

 

atb  Mark.

That's ace mark. Chinese stuff has come on leaps and bounds over the last couple of years.

Terracotta Army wasn’t bad for starters Archibold.

Looks very good, and very good VFM. 

Even if you have to convert it isn't much of an issue these days!

What is available for not a lot more money out of interest? 

Apparently he paid £18 inc delivery which is pretty keen!

I can’t be bothered to start doing conversions  , each to there own 

another 35 notes you can by a crombo

I think it would be a low cost chrono to have down range, no real issue if shot and handy to take down range readings because lets be honest how ofter does anyone take down range reading although handy at times so a Chrony at £110 is quite a difference.

S`up with ya ?

              Actually i paid £8, yep, just £8 after ebay had given me a £10 voucher for nowt. oh and that £8 included delivery.

              Anyways have a read of this. 

              You`ve all read the Rat works paperwork, they said my TX will be on or closely around 11.5 ft/lbs this chinese cheapy says she`s doing 11.47 ft/lbs.

              The untouched Pro Sport was chrono`d at Mac Avoy guns on collection and was doing 11.3 ft/lbs the chinese cheapy says she is now doing 11.58 ft/lbs after being run in.

              The FWB Sport 124 i`ve just had fitted with a V Mach engine was clocked at 11.42 and i was told to watch her and should settle at 11.7, chinese cheapy says she`s running at 11.47 just now.

               There`s not a lot going wrong with this thing at the moment and to be honest i would have paid £8 for all the figures i`ve got back from it alone !

               There are a good few lads across the forums saying what good value for money they are for what they are, -- cheap, cheerful and surprisingly very accurate.

 

                atb  Mark.
