digital scale for weighing guns
 
Where is good place to shop for digital scale suitable for guns?

I got a Post Office scale that they sell behind the counter. I weights up to about 10 1/2 pounds. Wasn't too expensive. What about a digital bathroom scale?

I use a digital food scale, about $10, at Wallyworld or the likes. I think it goes to twelve pounds. Also measures shot charges in hundreds of an ounce for special handloads like buckshot, hevi-shot, etc.

tried the digital bathroom scales and get a different weight every time I try it.

Any good postal scale will do a good job. I use a Pelouze Model PE10 Digital. It has a 10lb. capacity. Very accurate and not to expensive.

A digital luggage scale works and they run as low as $3 and as high as $25

A good place to buy a digital postal scale is EBAY. Go there and do a search for "digital postal scale" and you'll literally have hundreds, if not thousands to choose from. For the best value look for one that offers Free Shipping. Here's one that weighs up to 86 lbs. with accuracy to .2 oz. offering more versatility than for just weighing guns.

These typically sell in the $6 to $12 range and are delivered free to your mailbox or front door.

I prefer a period correct scale :) This one has a patent date of 1913. It will only measure to the ounce but it comes up with the same weight as the research letter for this gun which is good enough for me.

I have a flat digital postal scale I keep in my truck with my other tools. Picked it up at Office Depot. I figured it was worth having one in the bag with my other stuff just so I could weigh Parker barrels.
