Currently three of my rifles have stock packs on them. I keep a Otis cleaning cable, bore brush, a small oil bottle and some patches in each of mine, but there is still a lot of room left. My question is what do you all keep in them? What small items do you have in them that you have found to be indispensable? </div></div>
I carry ear plugs and a Red Tac Gear LT Tool Pack. In the Tool Packs I carry whatever wrenches I need to tighten the scope rings, bottom metal, and scope turrets of the respective rifle. For instance, my Tac Ops X-Ray 51 wears 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), a 1/16" hex wrench (PMII turret dials), and spare CR2032 batteries for the illumination on my PMIIs'. Just for kicks I had all of the wrenches coated in Birdsong Black-T.

Proud of that little wrench are we? lol nice job </div></div>
I like it. I cut the open end off and rough-shaped it with a Dremel, then final-shaping and polishing with a small file and emery cloth it before sand-blasting it as prep for the Birdsong Black-T. I torque everything to spec with an SK torque screwdriver so I'll probably never have to use them, but it pays to be prepared...
