Beam Scales

Who makes your favorite beam scale and why is it your favorite? I'm really looking at the Redding RS2 scale, because of the quality of all of their other equipment and their overall reputation for quality and precision.

I ALWAYS try to go with either Redding or Dillon products. I have an old Redding No. 2 balance beam scale, and an old Lyman. The Redding is much nicer to work with, it's built much tougher, but the thing I like the best is that the beam steadies out sooner and much more authoritatively than the Lyman....I always question the Lyman, the Redding appears as though it's sure of the weight.

FWIW a buddy of mine picked up a NIB Redding No. 2 on e-bay for $30 just a week or two ago.

Hope this helps Dave!
