7. Amazon — Uikro Shooting Mat, $23.98
⏺ Large, well-padded, waterproof roll-up mat under $25
Having a good, comfortable and durable shooting mat is essential for prone shooting. You can spend over $140 on some mats, but a great, affordable option is the $24 Uikro folding mat. This has ample padding and features moisture-resistant 600D Oxford material for durability. This 1.8-lb shooting pad conveniently folds up to 7.9″L x 6.3″W x 2.7″H.

That price works out to just $12.50 per 50-round box — a good price. This very affordable 115gr Blazer 9mm ammo is excellent for practice/training, and it is more reliable than commercial reloads.
9. Amazon — Wheeler Screwdriver Kit, $14.99
⏺ Handy kit with Standard, Hex, Phillips, and Torx Bits
Having the right tools is vital when working on guns. We recommend the Wheeler Space Saver Screwdriver Set with Magnetic Handle. This takes up little space on your bench, but contains a durable and comprehensive set of 26 bits of four types. Included with the standard, Phillips, Hex, and Torx bits, is a 2″ long #2 Phillips bit which is ideal for recoil pad installation, and a hex-to-square conversion bit which allows you to use 1/4″ square drive sockets and other attachments.
10. Amazon — MTM R-100 Ammo Box, $17.99 and up
⏺ Best 100-rd ammo box, securely holds cartridges nose up or nose down
For transporting ammo to the range, we like the MTM R-100 Deluxe ammo box (#ad). These durable R-100 flip-top ammo boxes provide excellent protection for your ammo. When rounds are in the nose-down position special fingers in each hole prevent bullets from hitting the bottom of the box, thereby preventing tip damage. On Amazon there are different prices for R-100 boxes for various cartridge types. Prices start at $17.99 for one R-100 box. There is also a choice between opaque green R-100 boxes and semi-transparent blue R-100 boxes. We like being able to see the cartridges inside the box with the blue design. The most popular blue box, for 22-250 to .30-06 cases, is currently $18.85 on Amazon. This works for all these cartridge types: 22-250, 6mm PPC, 6mmBR, 6 Dasher, .243/.270/.308 Win, 25-06, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5×55, 6.5-284, 7.62×39, 7mm-08 Rem, .30-06 Springfield and more.
