Company that would build underground Shooting lane on private property?

I have enough property I have kicked around this idea. Obviously it wouldn't be cheap and there are some legalities to consider. But does anyone know a company that would consider such a things in the Denver area?

The dudes hanging around in front of Home Depot should be able to get that done in a few hours.

Tell them it's a tunnel to get under a fence.

Culvert pipe what ever distance you want. Some kind of system to bring targets to & from berm (clothes line pulley system) works. A few fans behind shooter to move air downrange. You're looking at $75 - 100K easy for a 1 lane range built to indoor spec, not including permits, opposition from common sense neighbors and getting the county to sign off.

here's a link for your reading entertainment. The prices quoted are on the conservative side, for a multi lane unit. They do give some numbers for single lane. We looked in to a commercial lot indoor range 20 - 25 years ago. At that time it was $1 million ish for a 25 yard, 10 - 15 lane building, land not included.

There was a company I saw maybe 2 to 3 years ago that did this sort of thing (though more commercial than private usually) and I talked to the guy about it some. He thought a simple one lane one could be done for 20k or so. But I'll be damned if I can't find his info again.

A guy I shot with had to build a retaining wall, and while he was at it asked the city if he could turn it into a "wine cellar". 25 yards long.

72" concrete pipe costs +or- 500$ a linear foot to install. The end caps, venting, and everything else would all be more. The per foot price would spike as well if a decent footage wasn't needed.

Sounds like a simple DIY project if you ask me.

If I had some coin I would DYI. No permissions needed, just money.
