[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 479214, member: 25383"] First of all not all gauging setups are similar. If you buy a sixty dollar case gauge that comes with a $25 indicator; this ought to tell you something! Interrapids and Best Test indicators are pricey, but you get what you pay for. You can do fine 98% of the time with a good quality wand type indicator (Federals are very good quality) as long as you never plan on rotating it. A $20 GEM indicator you buy at the hockshop will be better than the indicator that Redding, Sinclair, or most of the rest use. If you have access to a fairly good drill press, and maybe two and a half hours time on your hands; you can build one that will be as good as most anything on the market. I mean they're not rocket science. You simply need something to hold the pin, and a good solid indicator mount (even a mag base will do that part). Also you simply do not need a .0001" indicator, and a good .0005" will do the job quite well. gary [/QUOTE]
