Get both kits, but for a complete set, you will still need to purchase a few torque limiters that are NOT included in the primary set.
AND you may still need to have a few WIHA bits for your particular needs.
I have the top kit (photo at start of thread) with a few extra pieces in my range bag. While all of my checking and torquing is done at home with other wrenches, the kit is in the pack just in case something comes loose while out shooting so the variable torque head is plenty to finish out the day If needed. Only used mine once at a SH training to put the scope back on the rifle after they checked it. Kit worked fine with no issues.
I found it to be a worthwhile class. I am also thinking about trying that same class in August, just need to wait a few months to see if I can make it work. I don’t think we had any bad shooters in that class. I don’t do competitive shooting so the last day with barricades was not geared much for me as many of the others but it was a good experience. If I go, I will be driving down from Cheyenne each day.
I'm getting a Fix-it-stick kit but not sure what the big difference is between these two.... besides $60. The top one is $100 - the other $160. These are both from Cabelas. Any advice?
Thanks for the write up. I too don't really care for the borka kits. We stock the fix-it-sticks deluxe kits now. The torque limiters are quite good, in operation at least. I'll send you out a kit and you can check it out.
Curious of what accessory's one needs to shoot at this type of class, besides gun haha
Anything you wish you had brought or had that you didn't have ..
I don't do competitive shooting either, just looking to improve on my ELR shooting beyond 1000yds.
Going to bring my camper from SW Montana if I go.
