BluCore Shooting Center

[Cylinder Head]

Went there today to re-zero my SR-15 and Aimpoint CompM3 in their indoor rifle range. It's a very clean, well run shop that caters to the high-speed (or high speed wannabe) crowd. They have a ton of high end gear and firearms on display. I'm a total gear queer so it's perfect for me.

Got down to the rifle range and I was the only one in there. Everyone else was in the separate pistol range. This is the only indoor rifle range I've ever seen that goes out to 100 yards. I made the mistake of wearing my MSA Sordins today and my ears are still ringing from the sound of my rounds reverberating off the walls. Note to self, double up on earpro next time out.

Each lane had its own sand bag which was a nice touch, and I sat down with a few hundred rounds of XM193 and went to work. I'm terrible at sighting in anything but I think I did an okay job. Here is my last sight-in group at 50 yards:

For a 2MOA red dot with 2MOA ammo and a 10MOA shooter I'll take it

I tried out the pistol range next and it was a very nice facility. Digital hanger controls and it was pretty well ventilated. Unfortunately for my already ringing ears there were two people shooting their AR's in the pistol lanes and I just couldn't take the noise for long.

All in all I loved the place, but next time I'm wearing ear plugs under my Sordins.

Went there today. Super clean facility not a huge store but they have some nice accessories and a good supply of arms.

Pistol range was great, very well lite up.

Rifle range they make you sit, which for bench precision shooting is fine, but I want to practice standing up. [Coffee]

Apparently you can do that in the pistol range just don't get a lot of distance.

Overall great place and the staff there were very friendly at the range and upstairs on the retail counter which I did buy some new gloves. [Beer]

Been there once, will go back more than likely. Only gripe - one of the employees wouldn't stop nervously fidgeting with his revolver, cocking, decocking it. Made me a tad uncomfortable....

I stopped in earlier this year. Nice bunch of guys, I didn't shoot while I was there.... I did buy a bunch of mags and a "Guns Kill Dirtbag Terrorists" T-shirt.

Took my wife there to try several pistol options, we had a great time friendly staff knowledgable with what they were selling. Range was busy but well ventilated they had a great selection of the more popular ccw we wanted to try along with plenty of great full sizes guns to try. Recommend this facility to anyone:)

Made my first trip to Blue Core this weekend. I had been to the building before it became Blue Core and I must say, what an improvement over what used to be there!!!! Didn't visit the range this time but I thought the shop was awesome. I was greeted as I walked through the door, which has never happened to me at a Gunstore like this before. The guys behind the counter didn't act like they were too busy to help like so many other gun stores. They were actually happy to help! Very friendly service!

I think this will become my favorite, most frequented store. Semi-auto pistol selection is great (and priced well). Black Rifle selection is GREAT. Not a huge selection of AR accessories but better than the other stores in this neck-of-the-woods. Defensive ammo selection was great. Nice selection of bags but they could use a few more holsters. If there are any ladies reading this, I think they have the biggest selection of CCW purses and bags of any store I have been to in the metro area. (I was considering a present for the wife ;))

I went there last week to sight in a new scope on a 10/22 of mine. I only utilized the rifle range but it was clean and well ventilated. Its nice having an indoor range that goes to 100yds. Staff was friendly upstairs and down

New to the forum here. I am trying to find a good indoor range around the Lakewood area that allows for rifles and controlled bursts. Is BlueCore a good place for that? And if not can any of you guys recommend a good place anywhere from 30-45minutes away from Lakewood? Thanks.

You are good to go at BC assuming you are shooting in a safe and controlled manner. I've dumped AR mags without issue, but then again I've been going almost since they opened.

Theres a pretty long page on BC already. Ill be nice in my encouragement to use the search feature. Others may not be so kind.

On recommendation from a Friend I found my way to BluCore Shooting Center today.
Staff was great lanes were great the people waiting to shoot were great.
It was well worth the 35 minute drive I will return and may even consider a membership.

Another +1 for BluCore. I bought a handgun from them in January when we were really in the Panic time and I felt a bit rushed - but there were a million people in the store oogling the guns and not having any interest in buying. I went back again this week and they were super friendly and guys at the range were excellent again. I would go back for another purchase.

Was shopping for a Streamlight TLR-1S and found one for about $105 on Amazon. Before I ordered it up I figured I'd give BluCore a call as they are just down the street and I'd pay $5-$10 more if I could have it now instead of having to wait for one to be shipped. $198 was their price!!!!!! I love their range even though it too is a little pricey but over double the price when tax would have been included for the same friggen item!!! SMH, guess you can get away with these things when probably 1/2 your customer base is ignorant and doesn't know what they are shopping for.

Or trying to pay the rent/insurance/maint. on a range and salaries. <- adds up, tough to make ends meet.

Just my opinion though. :)

Competition rules the marketplace. Everyone's threshold for paying more to support one business over another is different. I spent $230 there today, knowing I could get cheaper online but I wanted it now.

Purchased a Sig716 Friday. With Blucores anniversary discount and membership discount. Out the door a little above 1,700. Very attentive to the customer. They are getting better with time regarding customer service.

Now I need to choose an optic. They carry Trijicon, Leopold, and night force.

Stevensje,
check out the Browe BCO optic they have. Outstanding product. I got one after trying out a trijicon, aimpoint, and eotech.

Thanks for the advice! I will look at it next week when I'm in.
