I have an older one, marked "Pacific" but the design is identical. It's a decent scale, certainly miles ahead of the Lee, but not perfect. The zero seems to wander a bit, though that may be the bench I have it on. It's also harder than it should be to get the pan back in the holder.
Geez, it sure is cheaper than the RCBS's though ain't it?

I up graded to one from a LEE. I also purchased mine from Midway. The only problem I have is that it will not zero with no weight and then be accurate with weight. When I am checking rifle loads, I set the weight and check/zero with a set of check weights. When I remove the weights and move the setting to 0 the balance is heavy. When I reset it for the load weight and check it with the check weights it is right on so I always use check weights when setting this scale. I do not have a problem with the pan and the beam is quickly dampened. Overall I like the scale.
