Recommended a good balance beam scale

I have 2 sons that reload when they have time.
I have 3 separate work benches --they do get used.
I also have 3 digital scales to keep the 5-0-5 honest

I jumped on that same deal about 2-3 months ago at Midway. 3 for $100 at Amazon is a great deal as well, but what would I do with three 5-0-5's?

Gift them away.

I think it's the other way around. The 5-0-5 will keep the digital scale honest.

I ordered one and don't even need a scale. That reminds me I have to start conveying to the kids what would be nice Christmas gifts for their old man.

I bought a 2nd hand Lyman/Ohaus scale from fleebay.
Just gotta dust it off from time to time & it reads the same as a Cabela's XT 1500 Digital Scale.

I run a reloading club, we purchased fifteen of the RCBS 502 and 505 scales last year, they are great, no complaints. The students don't break them, they are accurate, we reference them against each other and with a digital scale just to see if everything is what it says. I also recommend spending the money on a quality set of the RCBS check weights. For a cheap scale, the Chinese-made 505s are a great value. Not the best scale you can buy but plenty accurate for 95% of reloading scenarios, although I would buy a better scale if you are going to reload precision/match rifle rounds.
