Can someone explain to me why rifle would be double the price? I know GMFSC did the same thing and I never understood why.

The backstops have to be different. Rifles have much larger energies at the muzzle than pistols. So running rifles on the pistol range would destroy that backstop. At the last indoor range I frequented, the pistol backstops were angled steel plate, and the rifle range was a giant gravel mound. They also had 12 pistol lanes and only 2 rifle lanes.

I'm spoiled, the range hear is superb, 13 ranges with 5-12 lanes each, from 50 foot pistol to 425y. Ask Hoser, it's a great place. Oh, and guests cost $3 for the day, or come when there's an event and attend for the event cost.
