Excellent fully manual transit and level. [Posted on 2004-01-25] I wanted the best quality optical transit/level I could find, but at a low cost. Without going to automatic (self-leveling, etc.) -- I found this to be the best deal I could find. It's easy to setup and use. In particular the optical plumment is great for locating directly on top of benchmarks/stakes. I use mine for fence work, calculating areas, site work in restoring my barn, and mostly for outside plant grade/level work. For my use, it has been a great investment. I use it year round and have found the optics to be tolerant of severe weather extremes and easy to use in high or low light. I work by myself, and also found it easily portable (light) and quick to setup and take down.
Great Instrument [Posted on 2006-07-07] As an engineer, I didn't have need of a highly accurate instrument, but wanted something more durable and accurate than that you'd find at Home Depot or Sears. This David White gun is durable (metal construction), is smooth turning and has a bright, easy to sight through scope. You'd pay twice this much at a surveyors' supply store for a transit of this calibre.
My only caveat is that on my scope, the internal focusing carriage was loose on arrival, but this was an easy fix.
All in all a good value for the money.
