Good honest review michael, my mk2 has just decided to start spitting out velocitys that are all over the place and so did a friends ,so i will be back using my caldwell in future.

Noticed mine is the same. Reads very low compared to my CHRF-1 and rather binary. Normally if I get 2 readings in a row the same I would assume an error, but the FX seems to alternate 2 reasons the same. This is a huge problem if you are using it to ensure compliance with mandatory legislation for velocity or power thresholds such as the UK FAC Exempt and Canada PAL exempt. As FX is Swedish I wonder if the algorithm uses mps / g / J and then is converted and rounded after to fps / gr / ft/lb? Anyway, so far put a couple of hundred shots past mine and while the app now collects full length strings with the latest update I'm not impressed with its accuracy.

This chronograph has been driving me crazy I thought it was my rifle until today I was shooting indoors and happy with the velocity then I went outside and got velocities 20-30 fps slower so I went back inside and gained 20-30 fps it’s crazy

Hi !! Must i connect it on a silencer at the end of the barrel and not on a rifle barrel end without a silencer ?

Doesn't matter. It will work the same either way.

Just got mine today, works perfectly fine! Tested it against shooting chrony M-1 and differens is 1mps/3fps per shot over 72 shots. Just put it under your barrel and shoot. No problems at all !

Unfortunately mate when you move it at different positions under the barrel or heights the readings change. So how do you know the place you have yours positioned is right?

Now u get a bracket so u just hang it under the barrel with some rubberbands. Works really great and i mean 2 fps is NOTHING. My dreamline does 850+ so just 2 fps is like 0,25%. The Fx radar is far superior light chronys that are really picky with light.

I agree. 2 fps isn't a big deal. After taking a ten shot average the results are the same as chronys with 1 fps variation. I was just pointing out hte observation. Now that the FX is being hung from the barrel I use mine all the time.

@@therodenthitman Yes. Ironically, it doesn't play well with my FX Crown, though. The weight of the FX radar on the freefloating barrel and shroud causes significant pellet clipping. I use my Caldwell to chony the FX gun and the FX radar to chony my non-FX guns.

Looks you solved it the issues you were having on the other video: kzitem.info/news/bejne/uXytwKKco5togW0 I have one of these and I compared it to my Oehler Model 35P a $575 chronograph +/-0.0025% tolerance and it is only 13 fps different. Well with in the acceptable range of this $200 +/-0.02% tolerance Chronograph. The Oehler Model 35P is 8 times as accurate but the set up time is 5 minutes, where as the setup time with the FX ix 5 seconds. The 2.0 version comes with a bracket too so it fits at the right spot from the barrel. Just a note, I set mine back 6 inches to get the best reading. But it depends on the gun.

Soon after I first bought the Caldwell, I checked its readings using Stelok+ and its trajectory validation feature. It is pretty close.

Guys at the club today had theirs and each one was giving different fps on same gun I was gonna order mine tomorrow till I saw them actually in use today. Just thinking $200 can be better spent on other gear I would like, Sticking to my old reliable chrony at least till they get the bugs worked out of this one
