Christmas is just 8 days away, so today we’re featuring a hand-picked collection of sixteen “stocking stuffers” for precision shooters. Some of these are recent inventions. All are handy items that you’ll use over and over again at the range, on your vehicle, and/or at your loading bench (so you’re allowed to buy them for yourself, even after Christmas).

B&T Industries BT62 Determinator — $7.95 ✔

The acrylic BT62 Determinator measures groups with laser-cut concentric measuring rings. Check group size quick and easy — simply place the Determinator over shot group. Adjust until one of the circles crosses the center of the two outer-most holes. That gives you the center to center group measurement (1.5″ maximum). Alternatively, you can measure edge to edge (of the farthest shots) and then subtract the bullet diameter. Cool tool for gun guys. The supplied lanyard also glows in the dark.

MAXUS Reloading Scale Kit — $17.99 ✔

Here is a VERY affordable compact scale for use at home or at the range (with battery power). Though it costs under $20, the MAXUS Digital Milligram Scale (#ad) has earned good reviews and should be precise and repeatable. This high-precision digital milligram scale set comes with calibration weight and other reloading accessories. And numbers are easy to read with its large backlit LCD display. NOTE: This MAXUS Scale has dual power functionality — it can run with batteries or USB cable. It can read grains, ounces, grams, and other weight types.

Wheeler Manual Trigger Pull Scale — $21.58 ✔

While we prefer a sensitive digital trigger pull gauge, it’s nice to have a manual back-up. And the Wheeler gauge is plenty accurate for pistols and most hunting rifles. The Wheeler trigger pull scale accurately measures trigger pull weight from 8 ounces to 8 pounds. It features an ergonomic handle for consistent direction of pull. The sliding indicator stays reliably on the maximum weight registered and high contrast pull weight increment marks are very easy to read. This spring-type trigger scale measures in 2-ounce increments and is accurate to +/- 2 ounces — plenty good for pistols and hunting rifles. Priced at just $21.58 on Amazon, this gauge has earned 91% four- or five-star owner reviews.

Lyman Powder Scale Pan and Case Funnel — $6.99 ✔

The Lyman Powder Pan/Funnel saves reloaders time by combining the powder-receiving pan and funnel into one unit. With this combo tool reloaders can pour powder directly into the case without having to fumble with a separate funnel. That’s smart and efficient and just $6.99 on Amazon (#ad). RCBS makes a similar powder pan/funnel ($8.99 at Precision Reloading) with a slightly different case-neck section. You may want to try both to determine which works best for your cartridge brass.

Surveyor’s Flagging Tape (for Wind Indicators) — $1.99 per Roll ✔

Always watch the wind when you shoot. Inexpensive ($1.99/roll) Day-Glo Surveyors’ Tape (aka “Flagging Tape”), attached to a stake or target frame, makes a good wind indicator. It will flutter even in mild breezes, alerting you to both angle and velocity shifts. This should be part of every range kit. A wide variety of colors are offered including Fluorescent Orange, Fluorescent Green, Fluorescent Yellow, Fluorescent Blue, and multi-color safety stripes.

Allen Camouflage/Black Neoprene Scope Cover — $12.07 ✔

Here’s a great gift item for a hunter. This reversible Camo-pattern Neoprene Scope Cover fits scopes up to 15″ long and 56mm lens diameter. The cover cushions your scope and protects against moisture and scratches. Along with the $12.07 large version, Allen makes a 12″ medium camo scope cover, and a 10″ small version. NOTE: These covers are reversible with Mossy Oak Break-Up Country camo on one side (as show), and black on the other side.

MagnetoSpeed RifleKuhl Barrel Cooling Fan — $69.00 ✔

Cooling your barrel with a compact fan can extend barrel life. This bright red RifleKuhl from Magnetospeed (#ad) is quite effective. The battery-powered impeller pushes cooling air down the barrel. It has a chamber seal for increased cooling efficiency while a neodymium magnet helps secure the device to your action. The RifleKuhl includes a belt/pocket clip and there is a Replaceable built-in 50 Micron air filter. The RifleKuhl costs $69.00 on Amazon.

Ludex Case Prep Multi-Tool with Internal Storage — $15.99 ✔

This handy Ludex Case Prep Multi-Tool can perform multiple tasks. On one end is an inside neck chamferer, with the outside chamferer/deburrer on the opposite end. Stored inside the tool are four (4) uniforming attachments for large and small primer pockets. This tool with all the attachments is $15.99 on Amazon.

Digital Display Timer with Big Buttons — $16.95 ✔

If you shoot in a discipline with time limits, or you time your firing strings during practice, having a reliable and easy-to-read timer is critical. We like this very affordable Digital Display Timer with both count-up and count-down functions. Just $16.95 on Amazon, this unit boasts an easy-to-read display and LARGE buttons making it perfect for F-Class, Palma, and other matches. This timer comes with both a built-in stand AND a strong magnet so you can position the timer conveniently.

GPS Tactical Suppressor Cover — $34.99 ✔

With the growing popularity of PRS/NRL competition and hunting with suppressors, it’s great to see a product that can protect your pricey “can” AND reduce heat coming off the suppressor. Crafted by GPS Bags, these Tactical Suppressor Covers ($34.99 at Midsouth) help reduce visual “mirage” caused by heat radiating off a rifle’s suppressor. These feature 1000D Nylon with a heat-resistant fiberglass/silicon lining. The Tether Line prevents the suppressor cover from sliding forward during strings of fire.

Hoppes Pistol Cleaning Kit — $9.97 ✔

Right now, for just $9.97, you can get a nice Hoppes Pistol Cleaning Kit complete with solvents, cleaning rod with swivel handle, jags, patch holder, bore brush, and 50 patches. The fluids include 2 oz. of Hoppe’s No. 9 Cleaning Solvent, plus 2.25 ounces of Hoppe’s Lubricating Oil.

Peregrine MAGnet Gun Caddy — $5.50 ✔

Here’s a handy item that can hold your rifle vertically alongside any steel surface. This works great on gun safes (outside or inside), and the MAGnet Gun Caddy can be used on vehicles too (see photo). The patented design makes it possible to secure and remove your gun from the holder with just one hand. The MAGnet Gun Caddy, just $5.50 at Grafs.com is modular so you can arrange multiple units at whatever height works best.

Sack-Ups 13.5″ Pistol Storage Sock — $8.49 ✔

Here’s an actual fabric sock that you can roll up and put in your Christmas stocking. Sack-Up knitted storage sacks are made from silicone-treated 100% natural cotton. The cotton’s wicking ability draws moisture off the gun, inhibiting corrosion. This $8.49 13.5″ Sack-Ups sock is a great choice for revolvers and metal-framed pistols. Midsouth also carries larger 36″, 42″, and 52″ Sack-Ups for shotguns and rifles.

Creedmoor Sports — BoreTech Rimfire Blend, $17.95 ✔

Rimfire disciplines are getting more popular, with the increasing cost of centerfire brass, bullets, and powder. While .22 LR rimfire rifles require less cleaning compared to centerfire rifles, you still need to maintain those rimfire barrels. We like Bore Tech’s Rimfire Blend Bore Cleaner, now $17.95 at Creedmoor Sports. This specially-formulated, ammonia-free bore cleaner can simultaneously cut through the layers of lead, wax, and carbon fouling. NOTE: After use you may have to shoot quite a few rounds before best accuracy returns.

Govee Wireless Remote Hygrometer Thermometer (for Gun Safes) — $14.99 ✔

Is the temp and humidity OK inside your gunsafe? With Hornady’s Govee Bluetooth Wireless Hygrometer Thermometer, you can check that easily. The unit measures temperature and humidity inside your safe, and then displays temp/humidity readings on your smartphone via a Bluetooth App. The unit has a good range in open rooms but you may have to get close to the safe to get a signal with the safe door closed. The sophisticated Govee Wireless Hygrometer Thermometer is now just $14.99 on Amazon (#ad).
