[QUOTE="mhphoto, post: 1688018, member: 6288"] The procedure for changing the refill in this pen is a bit different than for the .30-06/.308 model. Instead of pulling the tailcap off, with this pen you unscrew the tailcap to get to the refill. Just change out the refill and re-tighten (and you'll need to make it pretty tight so the twisty-action doesn't slip). [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i23.photobucket.com_albums_b375_randy25rhoads_Lights_63e2fb28.jpg[/IMG] This model is heavier than the .30-06/.308 model, weighing in a 50 grams against the .30-06/.308 models' 37 grams (brass/copper model) and 38 (nickel/gunmetal model). It's also thicker in the hand than the cheaper models. The bottom, business end is a .300 Winchester Magnum case, and the top section is a .300 Winchester Short Magnum. These are pretty thick cases compared to the .30-06/.308, and might take some getting used to for my fellow piano-fingered brethren. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i23.photobucket.com_albums_b375_randy25rhoads_Lights_eeb29698.jpg[/IMG] The two cases fit together well and are smooth in their action. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i23.photobucket.com_albums_b375_randy25rhoads_Lights_4a0fcbfd.jpg[/IMG] All the accents are unmarred and well fitted. The clip is, I believe, copper-plated steel, and feel very strong. It clips into pockets easily and stays put.

It's not uncomfortable writing with this thicker pen, but it definitely takes some getting used to. But the variety of refills makes getting used to it worth it.
