Anybody up for a Range Trip GTG?

The "Forget trucks....what size deer rifle do you use?" thread got me thinking, Who would be interested in a gun range GTG? Indoor/Outdoor? Somewhere mid-state.

Opinions?

Oh and maybe a range that doesn't mind if i bring one of my latest builds.

I like that mak 90. or is it a poly ak? I love polymer. Those are some beasts I love shooting those. We need to go to the "range". I ll show you some of my suprises. I dont like to show them off for thousands of people to see. The element of suprise is as good as the weapon you bring to war.
We need to find a shotgun friendly range. Ever heard of the Saiga 12?

I will admit I am not much of a gunner guy but those look like they can do some damage to something.....

Oh and will they. You should see what 30 well placed rounds will do to a pine tree, TIMBEEEERRRRRRR.

Sounds as though you speak from experience...

Me? No, surely not.

Those are Romanian G models i built from parts kits. Those and a couple other "Black Rifles" are the only ones i have that are modern day. The rest of my collection is military surplus and antiques, Some date back to the 16 and 17 hundreds. I've shot a Saiga before, Makes a nice home defense gun IMO.

Sounds (?) like a good idea. Good meeting new faces this past Saturday.

Funny you should say that! I've dropped two small trees here due to not having a decent target stand, I'm in the process of putting one together now.

I'll have to do some research to see if theres a decent outdoor range somewhere mid state.

Check out Indian Creek Rifle Range.

It's a free range and has a nice shelter and backstop. It's a 100 yard range with a 35 yard backstop for pistols.

Now that will work! 100 yds is good enough.

Yall let me know when and I'll be there.

Maybe afterwards (after all the guns are put away) we can hit up a local watering hole.

Im deffinately game. I hate to speak for him but Im 99.99% sure Ed (macy8) will be interested as well unless scheduling conflicts.

Anyone have a bore sight? Maybe if I buy my new scope we can set it up that day.

Watering hole sounds nice as well.
