Caldwell
Best budget optical chronograph. The G2's light-sensor screens read indoors and outdoors, the included Bluetooth app logs strings, and the heavy-duty tripod ships in the box. Right answer for the shooter chronoing twice a year.

Caldwell Ballistic Precision Chronograph G2, 720002
The Caldwell Ballistic Precision G2 is the only optical chronograph in this guide and the right answer for the shooter who needs to verify factory ammunition velocity a few times a year and does not want to drop radar-chronograph money. Two light-sensor screens read the projectile as it passes between them, with an inverted layout and LED-equipped sunscreens that handle indoor and adverse light better than older optical units. The included tripod and carry bag mean you can pull it from the case, deploy downrange, and start logging. The Caldwell app handles strings, weather notes, and export. Sub-MOA reloaders moved on to radar; new reloaders, recreational shooters, and indoor-range users still buy these by the thousands.
