Spend a few extra bucks and get a Wilton.
You can get a mid level one for about $175 it will last you forever |

4" Yost (BV-4) is gtg or a Wilton 11105. They are small enough to not take up room on your bench and big enough to assemble an AR.
Avoid harbor freight or any other Chinese brands that are not 30k cast iron or have horrible reviews. Amazon has best prices that I could find for new vises. |

I'm in the same boat OP.
Check out local garage sales and see if anyone is clearing out a used one. I'm getting a 6" from my folks that's been in the family for a bit. |

I bought this one a while back. The rotating jaws have been handy. http://m.northerntool.com/products/shop~tools~product_200649017?adv=false

I found a 80 pound vise in someone's basement and they only wanted $15 for it. I was there to buy a shelf they had on CL. Keep an eye out used. Old iron is best iron.

I got mine from Craigslist, big and old for $20.
Weirdly, the last three houses I've moved into already had a vice installed on a workbench except this house. Go figure. |

I'd buy an old one at a garage sale. I got a 75lb WW2 era USN stamped vice for $25 recently. I like blacksmith leg vises more though.

Get on the want-ads used for sale in your area and find and old school American made vice.
There are a lot of them just gathering dust looking for a home. |

Spend just a little more and get this one. This will last forever and take lots of abuse-

I just spent $300 some on a brand new Wilton Tradesman.
I now need another for my new garage. ?? I only went that high up to have Anerican made. Yost and Wilton sell lower end stuff that is probably just fine. |

I've bought two of these in the last year or so. One for the basement one for the barn. Not sure how I'd ever wear them out
