Looking for a range that allows 50 BMG Bolt guns on the front range.
Any recommendations? Membership or visitors?
Thanks
Roger

Only formal range I'm personally aware of with 1000yd setup is NRA Whittington Center down in Raton, NM, 'bout 2.5 hrs south.

Stuff like CRC or whatever dont allow 50? Or Just dont quite have 1000 yards?

CRC has a thousand yard range but 50 BMG is prohibited. Too rough on the backstop I guess.

I think the root reason is the amount of land they actually own to the north of the club and some of the county allowances that the club agreed to when they moved there.

Gotcha. I was fuzzy on the details. But at least I knew it was a big no-no.

Last I heard Pawnee Sportsmans Center allows 50's on their 1k range.

.50's allowed at Ben Lomond, but range only goes to 600.

Pawnee does have 1000 yards with steel every 100. Not sure about the 50 though.

The Avondale range outside Pueblo is cool with .50s. You could probably take a tank out there and they wouldn't care. The longest they have is an 800yd range. I've shot .50 in the 200 and 800 there.
