This has always been a superior scale and expensive. It was the gold standard for a long time.

IT was made by Ohaus (no longer make reloading scales ) in New Jersey. Turn it upside down and it says New Jersey. Made in USA and reliable.

Then RCBS moved the 1010 production to Mexico and quality slid and then to China and its a crap scale now. Turn the Chinese version upside down and you read New Jersey. They cloned the scale perfectly to copy the Ohaus original except the quality.

Ohaus marketed the 1010 under their name for a while , so did Lyman. All sold a variant model called the 510 which had the same superb beam and quality of precision but on a less robust chassis. Either scale will serve you a life time if its made in USA. I am going over 40 yrs on my Ohaus 1010 effortlessly.

So if you are into market for a beam scale, get an original Made in USA Ohaus built 1010 or 510...they are on Ebay and other sites from time to time. Yes you can go to a new current production brand scale but you will be ill served as its features are not as user friendly as these Ohaus built scales .

Made in USA....it makes a huge difference in scales. It just does
