Tipton "best" gun vise? - Tipton Best Gun Vise

First, the product was shipped horrendously. There was no outer box - they just slapped a UPS label on the store display box that boldly said "GUN VISE." It arrived with the box torn up, the box top was ripped off and it had clearly been opened and the product had been tampered with. Since it has so many parts for assembly, I'm not sure I received everything. An outer box or just plain paper wrapping by Optics Planet probably would have prevented this. I'd like to add a picture of the condition of the product I received, but the site doesn't give me that option.
Second, Tipton Website and other reviews stated it is "Made in America" but the one I got is labelled Made in China. If I knew that I would not have even considered this product. There is a lot of assembly which I have not yet begun, but the parts (if I even received them all) appear to be cheap plastic and soft lightweight metal. It is difficult to imagine this product providing enough strength and support for working on or cleaning a full sized rifle or SBR.
My Advice: Spend a few bucks more and get a solid American vise. And make sure it is securely shipped.
