Stock Pack... Whats in it?

[PhilaMike]

I've been following a bunch of threads for a while now and I think I'm ready to start jumping in.

I am new to Precision Shooting and have a ton of questions.

From the thread about the best stock pack I gathered that Triad is good as well as Eagle, and the Blackhawk is not the best (which I ironically own lol)

What do you actually keep in your stock pack? Outside of Ammunition in the loops (if there are loops) whats valuable to keep in your stock pack? Whats in yours?

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

I keep a bore snake, dope card, and some tactical bacon in my eagle.

 

[ldevine]

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

I keep an allen wrench for scope adjustment

 

[opshin556]

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

What he said, allen wrench.
I also keep:
3-5 spare rounds of ammo, small knife, dope card, a smoke, 20' or so of 550 cord, and a twinkie or ho-ho, depending on my cravings that day.

 

[PhilaMike]

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

Great Suggestions!

Especially the Boresnake, Allen Wrench and Twinkie lol...

Keep em Coming!!

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

Ear plugs, Mildot Master, wrenches for adjusting scopes, lens cloth. It is really situation dependent. I don't like much in the stock pack,as I think it makes the stock bulky, so I try to limit what I actually put in the pack to what I think I will need.

 

[Tripwire]

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

I keep drop cards/angle info, small tools specific to that rifle/scope, including the wrench for the stock bolts, and a handy dandy little bolt disassembly kit I came up with. Some 550 and a boresnake (which would only get used in a dire emergency).

Sorry, no tactical bacon but there is room for a cherry pop tart........

Baby wipes? Isn't that why we wear t-shirts? Just start at the bottom and keep cutting off strips until either you are done, or you are wearing a halter top...

If you want or need a LARGE Stock Pack capable of carrying spare magazines for a detachable box magazine, the Triad is very good. If you don't want or need a Stock Pack that large/bulky, I highly recommend Tac Ops Stock Packs - they're extremely well-made and are 100% made in the U.S.A., just like everything Tac Ops makes. Tac Ops Stock Packs have eight (8) ammo loops on the outside, so you can either carry additional ammo or whatever suits you inside.

I carry ear plugs and a Red Tac Gear LT Tool Pack in each of my Stock Packs. In each Tool Pack are the wrenches I need to tighten the scope rings, bottom metal, and scope turrets of the respective rifle (just-in-case). For instance, <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">my Tac Ops X-Ray 51</span></span> wears a PMII 5-25X in Leupold Mark 4 rings. The Mark 4s' have 1/2" nuts on the clamps and TorX T15s' on the ring tops so I carry a cut-down Craftsman Stubby Combination Wrench, a TorX T15, a 5/32" hex wrench (bottom metal), a 1/8" hex wrench (set screw for bipod adapter that rides in the Anschutz Rail), and a 1/16" hex wrench (PMII turret dials) in the LT Tool Pack.

The <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Red Tac Gear LT Tool Pack Version III</span></span> (the version in the photos below) has a pocket sewn into the flap which I carry spare CR2032 batteries for the illumination the PMII in. Just for kicks I had all of the wrenches coated in <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Birdsong Black-T</span></span> when I had some other parts coated. Tucked inside the LT Tool Pack theres' nothing loose to rattle around in the Stock Pack.

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Multicam Red Tac Gear Version III LT Tool Pack (tools not included):</span></span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Full-polish Craftsman 1/2" Stubby Combination Wrench before modification:</span></span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Craftsman 1/2" Stubby Combination wrench cut and is ready for shaping:</span></span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Craftsman 1/2" Stubby Combination wrench cut and shaped - next is sand-blasting:</span></span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Fully shaped and sand-blasted Craftsman 1/2" Stubby Combination wrench:</span></span>

<span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="font-style: italic">Finished cut, shaped, sand-blasted, and Birdsong Black-T coated Craftsman 1/2" Stubby Combination wrenches:</span></span>

Odell, have you ever used baby wipes in the woods? Holy crap they're amazing. Sure you use the t-shirt for the primary clean-up but the baby wipe is like a soothing cherry on top of the sundae that is wiping your ass in the woods.

Hell, if they didn't clog the toilet, I'd use them at home!

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

I keep:

*stubby wrench for ring bolts
*whatever torx or hex are needed for the ring caps & picatinny rail.
*whatever allen wrench I need for the action screws.
*A few cleaning patches, a nylon bore brush, otis cable/handle/jag, CLP.
*any specialty items for that particular gun
*dope cards
*battery for illum. (if so equipped and scope doesn't hold spare in a cap)
*Also have ammo for said rifle in the shell loops

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

That's pretty slick looking Keith! I pretty much carry all the same things as these guys but I think I'm going to paint my wrenches something hi-viz because I hate losing them in the grass if I drop them. I'll also add though that I usually carry a lens pen in the stock pack to clean the lenses off with instead of lens wipes or a cloth.

 

[lonely_wolf]

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

- Scope tools
- Lens cloth
- Spare ear plugs
- Hunting licence
- Permits (if hunting)
- Scope battery
- A few Qtips
- A bit of 550 cord
- Dope card

... all inside a TacOps pack. There is a surpising amount of room to spare too.

I'm going to add some latex 'fingers' for the muzzle. Raining around here a lot lately.

Thanks Ian. I've never worried about dropping my wrenches - the 1/2" is pretty big and hard-to-lose unless the grass is pretty tall and thick. The allens are another story. A Lens Pen is an excellent idea - I'm going to have to pick a couple more up - my S & B Cleaning Kits live in the interior pockets of my Tac Ops DBs so they aren't exactly handy. Thanks!

Try flushable wipes by cottonell. Won't clog it up.

Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

5-rd aics mag with barrier ammo, ear plugs, lens cloth (not for dirty lenses, but for when I manage to breath on them or go from cold dry air to warm humid air then can't see shit), small torx wrench for scope rings, small allen wrench for turret slipping (can't remember the last time I used either, but others with me have used them).

 

[bmt]

Reviving this old thread . . .

I was thinking about a spare parts kit for a savage to go with the tools I carry, etc. in my stock pack.

Anyone carry spare extractor, etc.?

BMT

 

[J-Ham]

God I hope VJJ shows up here, you KNOW that guy is carrying some 'interesting' things in his...!

 

[ArmyJerry]

XDS 45 as last resort

BMT , I never lost a extractor from a Savage, if you do you might as well carry an extra ball and spring with it.

Aries I like that set up, nice man.

Thanks. I never lost one either. Just thinking out loud. Bore snake and mildot master are good ideas.

It's really not that bad, not nearly as much as carried in the Corps. My bag has shoulder straps to sling on so it's all easy as pie.

[Cuckler]

In an altoids can....two hex wrenches for scope and chassis, 1/2 inch wrench, extra dope cards attached with velcro to the inside lid and bottom, small bag with replacement screws for rings, chassis etc..

 

[2woppadoobie]

Ammo in the loops. Scope tools. Lens cloth. Data card for the load I am shooting.

I try to keep it light. No need to fill the thing.

That’s pretty much what I carry in mine too.

I do however carry a small button whistle for hunting foxes.

 

[John_in_WYO]

On my latest hunt I stored a Sony compact camera in my eagle stock pack. And 5 rounds of ammo in the loops.
