Digital Scale for Weighing Rifles

[Gringo Grizzly]

Hoping that someone out there can recommend a digital scale appropriate for weighing rifles in for big matches.

We're putting on the Pa state match this year and need a scale similar to the one used at Ridgway.

Thx!

We use the old model that is accurate to .5 oz. This scale is good to .1 oz. I think. It6 is great for weighing parts like stocks, barrels, actions etc.

You might want to contact Marvin Pearson -- metalhead on here -- and ask him what he uses. He brought it to last year's PeEll match and it worked perfectly. Unfortunately, I didn't ask him what it was or what he paid for it.
You can google him in Chehalis, WA and get a phone# or just PM him -- assuming that he doesn't read this and post a response.

GG,

Go to ebay.   In the search box type in digital scale.

You will find a number of digital scales available for under $40, including shipping that should suit your needs.

The scale I have is a Kubota LA-230.   It's a digital deli counter scale like you would see in your local supermarket.

It has a 14.5" x 11" tray and weighs to .01 lbs.   Thats roughly 5/32 of an ounce.

I'm not much of a betting man but I would be willing wager 25 cents that you're not going to get one like this for 40 bucks....even on E-Bay...

I borrowed this thing several years ago from the local gun shop.  Sorry,  I don't know what the original cost was.....Marv

A brand new 36 pound, by the ounce digital scale for mail shipping just went on eBay, 3 PM EST, March 9th,  for $25, including shipping.

Pawel,

While we are all sure that everyone has pure hearts, the Ronal Reagan principle still applies, especially with trigger weights in hunter rifles... "Trust, but verify"  :wink:

That was a variation of the Bret Maverick (for those old enough to remember him) principle:  "Trust everybody, but cut the cards."

I snagged a nice digital scale off eBay and it's worked great for me so far. Mine measures up to 35lbs to the nearest tenth of an ounce, and I think I paid about $25 total with shipping. Here's an auction of a scale just like mine, but I don't really recommend you buy that particular one because the shipping seems like a ripoff on such a small, lightweight item.

That should get you started, though.
