[QUOTE="Ethan N, post: 3219082, member: 29267"] The BEV Block functions as a vise block for both upper and lower. I’ve used one and would also recommend it, especially if you’re looking at separate upper/lower vise blocks that add up to the same price. In my opinion the money is better spent on a BEV Block. New bench vises are very poor quality unless you’re looking to spend at least a few hundred dollars. If you get a cheap new one there’s a good chance it’ll just split in half on you sometime, and you don’t want your rifle in it when that happens. My advice is look on Craigslist and eBay for a vintage made in USA bench vise (Wilton, Reed, Columbian, etc.). Find one that’s ugly and the body is a little rusty, but functions perfectly and you should get a good price on an excellent tool. I picked up a great 1960s 3” Columbian bench vise on eBay a while back for $24 shipped. That was a very good deal. Expect to pay a little more than that. [/QUOTE]
