    Don't know of one off the top of my head I'd say you'll have to travel to Dublin or the Midlands to get to a decent range

    No problem, you can turn up and hire a rifle, buy ammo and targets and be on the range in ten minutes.

    You can also join as it's a club. No idea as to what that entitles you to, but it's about the same level as other clubs pricewise (around €300 to join and €250 annually).

    They have 50m, 100m, 300yd, 600yd, clays and 25m Pistol.

    Plans to put in a 1000yd range as well I believe.

    Directions to get there using the N4/M4 are in the 'Upcoming Competitions' thread under the [June 23-24] NTSA competition announcement.

    The first time fee includes annual membership for the first year.

    thanks

    What about blessington is there one there it might be nearer for me

    the other thing is i have my own rifle which ive had for years
    its a walther .22 model one semiauto/boltaction,there are only open sights on this
    and only one grove for a scope mount,i would like to mount a scope on it.
    I have an appollo 10x scope which would do me. but is it worth the hassle of mounting a scope on a rifle this old.

    ive seen one like it years ago with a scope mounted in watts on the queys in dublin (thats a while ago now maybe twenty years).

    does anyone know anyone with a model one or have any info on it

    cheers for the help
