GTA has a positive endorsement. There are pdf instruction in English as well on page 6 of that thread!
This looks like a nice chrony and numbers compare well with other brands/mechanisms.
One of our vendors should look into buying them in bulk.

Cool! Good on you. That's generous =)
Sounds like they may work really well.
It's true they can take forever. I ordered a few to sell from China that are the same style as the caldwell with the built in infrared lights last October. They still haven't arrived. Pretty crazy. They got sent back by customs and they resent them, but now I don't know what happened to them.

Lol, sorry, didn't mean to be discouraging. I ordered just before the postal strike so I think that's what messed it up. Hopefully you ordered epacket, that's your best bet anyway.

Looks like nice instrument.. post some "comparison" results when you can. Wonder if you can shoot through the new one and a Chrony in series? so same pellet just a foot apart?
