fortune Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Why do you need to go to a range to zero your rifle? If you have a 243 then you must have somewhere to use it. It should be possible to zero your rifle with 3 to 5 rounds from scratch. I do, back in Wales. I have moved to Bristol and recently brought my guns over here. I have been invited along with a gentleman down Devon on a Roe stalk and don't want to go all the way to Wales to zero. Well that makes some sense of the situation. Isn't there a member of the PW clan that is in the Bristol area that can help. After all it would only take half an hour. The gun may be on and just need a quick test.

I believe that this is the range that I visited many years ago to attend a NV demonstration by Nite Site. How much is the membership?

69chris Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 its near a MOD range (used to be one years ago until the m4 chopped it in half !!) down a long lane that seems to be going no-where ....... exactly where you'd expect to find a range i guess its 100 yards until lunchtime then move back to 200 for the afternoon, makes no odds if your only shooting 25/50/75 etc yards as you just move your targets back with you cant remember exactly how much it is, i think it was (about) £200 odd for the pair of us, but thats a lot of wednesdays and saturdays shooting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not far from me, around 22 miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks. I believe that this is the range that I visited many years ago to attend a NV demonstration by Nite Site. How much is the membership? If I google severnside I get a range in Penarth, that is clearly not Magor but I would be interested in having a look at that range in Magor Is the one in Penarth the Barry tunnel you mentioned?

I don't think the Penarth one is the same as Barry Tunnel, but I could be wrong. I have tried to contact Richard, who runs the Magor range, a few times, but have not spoken to him as yet.

As well as Richard's own club, there are several others like DR&PC that use it. From memory, we pay £40 a year membership and £10 range fee each time we go. Very reasonable I think. Unfortunately there is a temporary bar on new members at the moment which is dictated by the lanes available to us at Severn side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3jackwhite3 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Forgot to mention the range is around the np26 postcode, richy lives in Cardiff that's why some of you might be having trouble finding it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
