Got a 45/70 pushing 300 grains at 2000 to 2050 per sec. and I can't wait to see how nicely it hurts to shoot it :)

So I GOTTA take a partner when I go sight in this pig and the 270 my pop is going to shoot.
E-mail me or PM me if This afternoon is cool. Sometime before 5 and after 3 if there's a place close to Gig Harbor or Tacoma or Port Orch that we can shoot 100-200 yards.

I would recommend Paul Bunyan or Tacoma Sportsman Club. Not sure of non-member fees or if you need to go with a member or not, but they are both nice ranges and pretty close to you.

Nobody else has the kind of range I need for this 270 nor this 45/70.

Here is a map of most all of the ranges and established outdoor places to shoot at : http://www.waguns.org/rangemap.html (http://www.waguns.org/rangemap.html)

Last I went, TSC (50, 100, 200) was $10 and no membership required. Paul Bunyan (50, 100, 180 yard gong)) typically has specific rifle sight-in days for non-members, and it was about $5-10 per gun, a few years back.

I have been to the Waddle Creek gravel pit, south of Olympia several times. There aren't any yard markers, you would have to bring your own bench and your own target holders. You're probably going to have to deal with a bunch of idiots who aren't paying attention to called ceasefires or people downrange >:(, BUT it is a place to shoot and it won't cost you anything. The earlier the better to avoid the undesirables. You will need a Discover pass to park at the gravel pit since it is DNR land.
I hate shooting there... but that's where my co-workers decide to shoot every month. :rolleyes:
Having a membership at Paul Bunyan is one of the best investments I have made, and I shoot regularly.
