SOLD Redding Model #1 Scale

[Swparks]

Selling a vintage Redding Model #1 beam scale. 350 grain capacity. It is non-dampening and no modifications have been done on it. It is in great shape and works perfectly. I do not have the original box. $35 shipped.

Since that is settled: what is special about these scales?

Well, that is something, though.

I wouldn't own 10? steel Weaver scopes, otherwise.

I just wondered if anybody felt like the undamped scale was more accurate, albeit slow.

@natdscott i have the same scale branded as an rcbs and it actually balances out super quick for not being oil dampened. Ive been trying to keep an eye out for a redding. Good snag lone hunter.

It'll resolve a kernel of N140
To a minimalist such as myself that $50 beam is worth more "to me" than any digital.

I get it. Got a badge with an original-issue Ohaus 10-10. It will resolve SIZES of RE-15 kernels (there are basically 3).

I still have my hand-made brass charge weight checks for my common loads at that time.
