Thinking of getting this

Anyone own or use it ? Any thoughts or advice.

Thanks

We do not have a dedicated gun vice.

We use normal vices for other purposes.

I use a regular bench vise with leather padded jaws.

I f I were to buy one I'd probably go with something like this:

i got this one too. for cleaning and inletting and bedding etc it works good, having inletted and bedded exactly one rifle so far with it. lots of cleaning. and 2 scope mount jobs. but i wouldn't use for a job requiring beating on a part to get it off or ?? its great for what its intended for.

For long gun cleaning I haven't seen or used a better vise than the Tipton Best Gun Vise. For working on guns I have an adjustable Parrot vise with leather covers glued to the jaw faces. There may be better vises on the market but not for the money I spent for it.

This, only I use hard rubber vise pads. Snug it just enough to hold the gun securely for cleaning.

I use a custom Keesy Kimbal vice..Gun Smith Jim Brockman, Windell Id. had a number of them at one time, well designed for the custom gun builder and can be positioned, corner rounded an pretty well designed for the gunsmith..Keesey was from alpine, Tex. close to my home and a good friend and he was a guild member. He passed some years ago. A great gunsmith. He designed these vices for gunwork, and they can be move to many positions and come with protected jaws, that last forever.

I also have a couple of bench vises..
