Scale for rifle?

For you guys that build rifles for certain weight classes what type of scale do you use to weigh them with?

Thanks

Before that I used a Berkely fishing scale.
 
I don't build rifles per se, but I do adjust the weight of my rifles to meet the requirements of my competitions. I finally bought a scale the other day. It is a Saga 86 pound capacity shipping scale (reads to 0.1 ounces). It costs $20 from Amazon. Works fine for my needs, but I'm one of those guys that gives up a few ounces of weight to compensate for calibration errors in my scales -or- the scale used by the match director.
 
I have an 25 lb. Ohaus scale that was checkered on certified weights. I use it to weigh the components before the build so i know it will end up below the max. weight and allow for balancing…… jim
