There's been some discussion lately about accurate, reliable, affordable electronic scales for use at the range. And while there's no shortage of cheap electronic 'pocket' scales out there, if you start measuring the weight many of these cheapies show versus the actual weight as verified by a good balance beam scale, you're in for quite a surprise. 
Just because a digital scale shows three decimal places to the right of '0' doesn't mean it can accurately resolve the weight difference it displays.
I've been working with a Jennings JS-VG20 scale for a while now and am pretty impressed with it. It claims to resolve to within 0.05 gr. (half a tenth) and when checked against a good balance beam scale, it certainly seems to do just that. Actually, quite a bit better. I checked it inside the house at 72 degrees and in the garage at 38 degrees and the results were the same. It runs on three AAA batteries so you don't have any line voltage issues, has a clear hinged cover for wind protection, and another feature that's nice....the Auto-Off can be disabled so it stays on until you power it off. It comes with a nice hard case and doesn't take up a lot of room.
For what it's worth.
