Default ? About Digital Grain Scales

I am in the market to purchase a digital grain scale, and was wondering what people are using and the pros/cons of the scales available out there.

My primary use is for checking my archery equipment and reloading - although I don't reload much anymore, mainly for checking my loads periodically to make sure I am within tolerances.

I would like one that read to 1/10 of a grain, and would be able to handle a completed arrow. I am guessing around 700 grain capacity would handle anything I would need.

Any recommendations?

Here's one like mine if not the same kind except only weighs in 1 grn. There is no name on mine. What knuckle head made that marketing decision.

gtoussey, see my thread a few below this... Seems Rick James has compared the identical scale I just purchased to one of his shop's really expensive models, and it held its own...

I bought a pocket digital scale off EBAY for about $16 (included shipping) .
It works great . I checked it out with my scale weight for my balance beam scale .
