Gunsmithing Which 6 jaw chuck

[Bigrederic]

So, I thought before I pulled the trigger and bought a chuck for my newly acquired TBAS I would ask what is everyone's opinion on them. I am leaning towards a Bison, but I see allot of people using the Gator and TMX chucks. My buddy has a Gator on his setup and ot seems great. I just dont want to take a short cut now.

Seems like design wise they are all very similar.

Thanks for your time...

I have a Bison 4 jaw and it's just fine. I'd buy the Bison all over again. If you are going to be chambering barrels, I personally would try to wave you off of a 6 jaw. I don't think you would gain anything over a 4 jaw and a 6 jaw will just take longer to dial in.

Plus, chambering barrels doesn't heavily load a chuck, so in reality, just about any (4 jaw) jaw will do the job.
