    Greetings all, In the late 1960's, a little after I contracted this hunting and shooting disease, a new Parker Hale rifle in .308W could be had for a little under $100.00 plus a 4x40 Nikko Stirling...

    blip liked post by grandpamac On thread : All weather shooting range
    A few years back I did some sketch designs for a 100 metre underground range using concrete pipes around 1 metre dia. The land had a gentle slope so the shooting point could be a little below ground...

    Greetings Again, If you want to design a range as a mental exercise then you probably want to look at the Police Shooting Range Manual that you can download on the interweb. The place to start is...

    Here is a bit more info. The cumulative inflation from 1968 to 2023 is 2,170% so that Parker Hale would cost $2,170.00 today. A Parker Hale was about the cheapest new rifle you could buy at the time....
