My father's BDay is coming up and he plans to get into reloading soon, and some mild gunsmithing ( trigger jobs, scope/sight mounting, accessorizing, etc ) so I want to get him a good, versatile, gun rest and/or vice since I cant fund the new RCBS outfit he wants. I prefer to keep the price around $100 but I dont want to sacrifice quality. I've been researching within my price range and I'm very tempted with the Tipton Best vice, it seems to have good reviews, as well as vast weapon versatility, and fairly durable construction. There are some killer rest/vice combos that are very well made, but I dont have the spare bank to buy him top of the line. Caldwell's Lead Sleds seems very well built, but they're a bit out of budget and only a shooting rest, not a vice. The Hyskore Parallax looked good for the money, but piss poor reviews have deemed this virtual junk. The Lyman Revolution is a sweet concept with the rotisserie design, but read it's underbuilt and janky. I need to order one in the next week or so, and although I'm not dead set on the Tipton, are there other brand options I'm missing? What do you have, recommend, or love to no end?
