ChrisJones 7,975 Posted January 13, 2015 Report Share Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Are we talking ft/lbs for power? Or lbs for cylinder pressure? Edited January 13, 2015 by ChrisJones Quote Link to post

Bergman 4 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 I charge my rifle by bottle To check the ft/lbs Think chrono was what I was after Any advise on which one to get and the easiest one to use. At a reasonable price. One I could take with me. May be leave in boot or pocket. Thanks for the replies Cheers Quote Link to post

SimonC_Here 36 Posted January 14, 2015 Report Share Posted January 14, 2015 The combro that shado_sniper linked to is what you are after. The others wouldn't fit into your criteria of pocketable or quick to use. Although why wouldn't you be checking it so often? When I first got mine I was checking it every week, then every month and now every now and again unless I've done something to it or thinking of changing the pellets. Simon 1 Quote Link to post
