Looking for a set of Reuben's as per post. Can anyone recommend a decent set.

Was looking at the specimen hunter one's but then found a set of the Korda (60lb) one's which I believe are actually made for Korda by Reuben Heaton. Seen them for £50 and I can get 10% off so £45.

Anyone got the Korda one's and are they equally as good as the Reuben's.

Seems a big difference in price for basically the same product but a £35 saving.

Would there be any difference in customer service for them then? I know when you send scales back to RH for calibration they service it and repair any defects/scratches etc. Wondering if I'd be sending them to Korda or would RH be doing it.

You can buy mine if you like. JRC 60 lb x 2 oz. With a JRC soft case.

I now use £5 eBay luggage scales as they are just as accurate, much lighter and easier to carry about....

My Avons and Reubens now live in my shed.
