You need to get a tigger weight pull gauge I think most of the new ones you will find are digital.
Should be able to get one from Champions Choice or or host might carry one. Call and find out.

If you're trying to measure your trigger pull accurately enough to decide if you're legal for a competition, a gauge is probably not going to be sufficient. You'll probably want to buy an actual weight set. The one I bought is the one Larry Carter recommended to me, the NRAL Universal Trigger Weight System available for $110 from Brownell's. What's nice is that you can make up combinations of weights to test triggers for all the various international and NRA competitions.

The only (minor) negative besides cost is that is has rollers on the ends of the rods where you hang them from the triggers, which is technically not permitted for testing in international competitions. But this only makes it easier to use and it should not affect the accuracy; unless you were hoping to use it for judging, you should not care.
