I was planning on ordering a reamer for my .338-06 project. I had decided on a Clymer but a classmate of mine said they'd been having good results using Dave Manson reamers in their barreling class.

Any opinions feedback on Manson Reamers?

They are good reamers too. A bit more expensive though.

Talk to Dave Kiff at Pacific tool & Guage. You haven't seen tools cut until you try one from his shop. His solid pilot reamers are a joy to work with. His phone no. 541-826-5808

Dave Kiff is the guru of reamer guys. Great guy to talk to and do business with. I have only bought 4 items from him but he has any future business from me, how little it will be.

Another vote for Pacific Tool. I've bought about four or five and referred others who are as happy as I am.

Dave Kiff of Pacific tool is undoubtedly the most popular of today's makers. The drawback? The company may be suffering some growing pains and delivery is a bit slower. I've bought several reamers from Pacific in recent years though and they are fine reamers. I have not used any of Manson's but have used a bunch of Clymers. I have always comsidered the reamers from Hugh Henriksen to be the best of the lot but it's a pretty close call. Regards, Bill.

I have had excellent results and service from reamers from both Dave's. Manson and Kiff. Fear not with either one.

Kiff may be the older hand and better known. Manson has a growing reputation and cult-like following of accuracy nuts.

Thanks for the feedback.

Just before I left work I called PTG. The lady I spoke to seemed a bit confused by my request. She did say that Dave would call me back though. We'll see if I have a message when I get in tomorrow.

Another vote for Pacific.
