That's funny right there, I don't care who you are............

I had my heart set on getting my first rifle, a saiga in 7.62x39. I even just bought I dont have much money/disposable income, and dont get to shoot very often because of the costs, and now i cant even find reasonbly priced ammo.

I wanted to shoot at shooters choice since its near where I live.

But now i understand they have a "rifle range" (only 25 yards) but dont allow rifle calibers? Is this right? I cant find anywhere else to shoot where i dont have to pay a huge membership fee that i cant afford?


I even already bought a buncha 30 round US made mags for the saiga off a guy selling his for really cheap. (like $9 each), and was going to put a tapco stock on it for 922r compliance.

Where could I even shoot if i did get it?

Mid-Carolina Rifle Club or private property are pretty much your only options locally.

...or find a G.I. buddy that is a fellow shooter and uses the Ft Jackson range. They have a 100 yd range that runs the 2nd and 4th Saturday of every month (more often during hunting season) from 0900 to 1300. I believe the civilian cost is $5 for the day and they provide the targets.

The Mid-Carolina Rifle Club is really nice, but it is kind of far when Ft Jackson is 10 minutes away. Mid-Carolina is also more convenient with their hours. It's a trade-off.

You don't show where you are located but there is also a range in Newberry. Kinda far for most folks but my wife's family is from there so I go there sometimes. (Best to go during the week to avoid the crowd) PM me if you want directions.

+1 on the newberry range. i frequent there alot and its a pretty nice place.

 

[indiegrind]

hey guys thanks for your response.

I think the newberry county range isnt too unreasonable a distance.. I live in west columbia towards lexington. Is there a fee?

I also picked up a saiga 7.62 on gunbroker with 3 more extra 30 round surefire mags for only $300.

[thenorthface84]

most stores these days seem to have their really good employees and really bad employees. i guess they can get away with that mess with demand so high for the next few years.

 

[mplecha]

I don't like that place at all. Unfortunately, for a lot of things, it's the only game in town. I've been to their range quite a few times. Rick, the RO, is great. The rest of them - not so great. The guys behind the counter - well, enough has already been said about them.

It is unfortunate that the "bad apples" still have a place at Shooter's Choice. I stopped buying guns there in 1998. Not that they care, but they have missed out on over $5000 in sales, and that's just from 1 person. I wonder what the volume of sales they have lost due to bad attitudes actually is. Sizable, I would imagine. I would also imagine that if the right people were made aware of the financial impact, the problem would cease.

Just go a little ways more down 378 toward Lexington. On the right, Lexington Gun and Pawn. They have a better attitude and tons of guns.

Unfortunately, much more expensive though. I had about the same service in both.
