Re: Stock Pack... Whats in it?

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)</div></div>
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.
