Just wondering what you guys use for working on your rifles. I've been considering the tipton but wanted your opinions. Thanks....

I bought a CTK Precision last year. It's made from pretty heavy gauge steel, and I believe it's made in the USA. I haven't owned it long enough to see how it will hold up, but with normal use, it seems like it should last my lifetime, and probably my children's, too. Here is a link: CTK Precision Gun Vise

Welcome to the fire. Thanks for the link to that cool vise. Thanks for the welcome BSA, I have yet to purchase one but a friend has and works real well for mounting scopes and sighting in the old fashion way. Deen.

My wife bought the made in US MTM and passed on the Tipton due to Chinese origin. She knows me well.

Hey BSA, pretty basic design here, wood clamp, 3 pcs of wood and some felt. Been using it close to 20 years now. BD

Wilton Now that's my style. . Wouldn't be the first time I've had a rifle in a vise like that
