Re: I Was Forced!

I've had one of the PACT's for a few years and have never had a problem with it, except to remember to leave my cell phone in another room. It causes interference. PACT, if I remember correctly, used to make the unit for RCBS.

They have trimmed a lot of weight off of the latest redenstion of the Henry 30/30. It's a much nicer rifle now then when it first came out a few years ago in my opinion. The brass receiver model with the octagon barrel is heavier.
