I wanted a good accurate scale at a decent price and I just ordererd the MTM Mini Digital Reloading Scale. $40.00 at Bass Pro and other retailers.
This model got good reviews.

I bought a digiweigh off ebay for under $20 and it works fine for me down to 10th's of grain.

If you can find a scale in grams that has a resolution to 2 or 3 decimal places, you can easily do the conversion using a factor of 1 gram = 15.4323584 grain. That is what I do. My scale is not in grains, but I trust it. I have access to calibrated weights at work that I use to check my scale periodically.

I bought mine for $20 brand new at a pawn shop. Also helpful if I want to go into the crack cocain production bisiness I guess...

Check out Harbor Freight. I got scale for around $15.00 and they have more then one to choose from.

I bought mine at the local head shop, somewhere between the rolling papers and bongs sits the digital scales, about $20.
For converting, just use Google, it is an awesome converter! just type "50 grams to grains" in Google and it will convert it for you. Incidentally, my hippie scale does do grains.
