Enjoyed your live unboxing. My wife always ask me "why don't you read the instructions?" What the fun in that? I have a Tipton gun vise but a different model. Love it and use it regularly.
My Uncle always said, "If all else fails, read the instructions".....He was a 747 Captain for BA until his scheduled retirement, after not making any cock ups throughout his entire career. In honesty, If I can manage without instructions, how hard can it be WITH them? I think it goes a long way to saying how intuitive something is
For someone who’s doesn’t like faff, wouldn’t dropping the legs on the bipod locking the swivel and putting the rear bag rider in on a dense sand bag, which would have given you a solid three point base to work from, just saying.
@@chrisparkin431 ha, I know what it’s for. Lol. Ending up given mine away. Good swivel lock on the bipod and a nice heavy plumb sand bag, no fuss no fannying about, mount scopes clean the rifle. Gun vice clamps always kicked the gun slightly off level when pressure was applied so mount a scope was hard, but there you go, we will see how you get on. ( expensive dust collector in my experience.)
I have this vise and absolutely hate it. Everything is always awkward. Nothing fits well. It's flimsy and the adjustments suck. I'm usually not too negative on products but this one doesn't live up to it's name.
Chris when is the next TH-cam or Facebook livestream, wanted your thoughts on sako/tikka's std 20in barrels for 6.5x55 or 270 etc are you loosing out over a 22 or 24in barrel is it noticeable in the field do you think
On its own, nothing. However, it has 4 holes (1 at each corner) that would enable you to mount it to a workbench. You could also just use C clamps if you didn't want to permanently screw it down.

Thank you my friend! You made it so easy to follow!
Great piece of kit
Thanks Chris, much appreciated 👍 One of my better gun tool purchases 😂 ATB from deepest Dorset!

This is a workshop tool rather than a shooting rest for which it would be inappropriate anyway

not sure at the moment, when I get some free time on an evening is the best I can say but I will try this week or next
If you try to clean your gun with a rod, the whole thing is going to move back and forth. What stops it from sliding on the table?

👏👏👏👏👏👏
Ctk Precision is cheaper, metal and sturdier, along with be simple, not as complicated.
CTK's costs 1.5x what the Tipton does and that's without adding the attachment, which would bring it to 2x the cost of this vise.
Too expensive for some cheap plastic.
Pity the yanks can’t spell properly. Vice really isn’t a difficult one to cope with.
Only one person struggling to cope that I can see
