Garmin Xero C1 Pro Chronograph

[Walkalong]

When I got home I had an email from Bison Tactical, back in stock, ordered it and canceled the Midway backorder, they had changed from December to no idea when it would ship.

 

[Legionnaire]

I got an email today, too. Mine is scheduled to ship 12/29. I’d hoped to have it by now. Not distressed, though.

 

[Walkalong]

I'm glad Midway is going to ship yours soon........I got two emails, the first said a little longer than expected, the second said they had no idea when it would ship, but at least they were up front about it. I had ordered from Bison Tactical once before, and it went well, so I had no issue ordering this.

 

[Legionnaire]

Should have been clearer. Mine is coming from Pew Pew Solutions.

I got mine today. It's....very nice. So simple. I just used it on an airgun but so far so good! I did pair it with my phone to upgrade the firmware first.

I’m part of the Midway backorder group.

 

[Jim Watson]

Me too.

 

[Walkalong]

Well, I just helped out by getting out of line, assuming I was in front of you……..

Someone suggested this case for the Garmin Xero C1 chronograph.
It's perfect and inexpensive.
I found that a leash to protect it from getting smacked down range is necessary.
The little case holds the leash handily.

Okay, there has to be a story behind this. Do tell.

 

[Walkalong]

My first thought as well.

 

[DustyRusty]

Do you mean the one where I knocked my Garmin off the bench?
Well..... at an indoor range......not long ago.......

Got it. That I can imagine. I rarely shoot at an indoor range and was trying to visualize what might have happened at an outdoor rifle range.

 

[DustyRusty]

That leash saved it, just yesterday.
Being able to test loads all winter is great.
A 30-40 KRAG looks a little outta place there though.

 

[Jim Watson]

Yay, Midway now thinks they will have Xeros by 12/28.

While I was in Germany last week I got a notification from Eurooptic that they had them in stock. When I went to check, they were sold out again. I guess Garmin needs to build a heck of a lot more of them. The thought of "sliced bread" comes to mind.

 

[Jim Watson]

Somebody who already has one, what is the "Made in _______ " stamp?

 

[Walkalong]

My Zero is somewhere in the USPS network. Not sure where, not sure they know where.

My Zero is somewhere in the USPS network. Not sure where, not sure they know where.

Lately, USPS has been receiving my packages at a nearby office. Then they send it to a second office 40 miles away. This one sends the package to a third office which is slightly closer than the first one. Finally, the package is delivered to me. It adds 3 days to the shipping time. It's quite an experience to watch it unfold real time via the tracking number updates

Road trip.

 

[DustyRusty]

Jim, Mine says made in Taiwan.

 

[Walkalong]

Garmin Zero showed up this morning, should be able to try it out tomorrow, traveling today, be back late evening.

USPS was rough on the box, even dented the Garmin box inside, but doesn't seem to have hurt anything.

Friday we drove down to Pensicola and picked up our elder son, nice to have him here for Christmas.

He helped me check out the Garmin Zero this AM using the Vudoo .22 LR.

Worked like a champ, couldn’t be easier to use. My tiny tripod was perfect for it, more stable than the light “tripod” that comes with it.

We’re paying for a chronograph, not a tripod.

What's the tripod? I wouldn't mind getting something heavier that could withstand a light breeze, but about the same size.

A cheapo off of Amazon years ago. I'll see if they still have it. (Neewer 20 inch)

A box of SK Standard Plus. Pretty good SD.
