That's the Adelaide University Regiment Rifle and Pistol Club 100m rifle. The rifle in question is a Stirling 14P - an Armscor (Flipino) made .22 that my dad has had since the 1970s, with some equally obscure 4x30 (I think) scope. All bought from back in the days where you got guns from your sports store and could register them with your local plod if you really wanted to!

Shooting RWS ammo, I managed to get all shots on IPSC Classic targets at 100m, while the old man (who can really make a rifle sing) nearly got all double alphas!

Let me  present our local range in Copenhagen, which is run by the municipality and financed by the federations and the users.
30 lanes 300 meters with covered stands. 10 lanes with obsolete SIUS-ascor electronic scoring equipment
20 lanes 200 meters with covered stands . 10 lanes can be equipped (normally only 5 is) with electronic scoring.
A number of 100 meter ranges without any target stands and no cover for the shooters. Used for "terrain-shooting" a scandinavian speciality.
30 lanes 50 meters (electronic) for small bore, 40 lanes 25 meters for pistols and the local hunting club's shed / 100 meter range.
Originally built in the early seventies, but around 1998 a corner was cut off by a new railway line and golf clubs and the new "Ørestad" development is creeping in on us. Used by the police and the home guard for training.
Top picture is the google earth view and below is the 300 meter range as seen from the covered stands.

Well since I do not yet own an AR it's mostly my surplus rifles and my Pardini .22 i shoot out there. Heres my very first rifle, a very early (1946) Otterup mauser rebuild in 6,5 x 55 based on a greek M30 made by FN. Nice stock though it has a rather worn bore.

The standard rifle in out club (we shoot historic rifles from 1880-1945) is of course the swedish mauser, accurate, classic, slender and bl... long. You can even get new barrels for them.

But my absolute favorite is my 1955 Garand which is by law neutered (made into a repeating rifle by venting the gas cylinder) but otherwise is in perfect condition. Okay, it has parts from every maker there was, even Breda and Beretta.

I do shoot borrowed AR's and C8's in competition but have decided to get my own little black number,Even my doctor has told me to hold back on the oiled
walnut and get some plastic

By neutered, do you mean the Garand is no longer semi-automatic?

That is exactly what I'm saying. Two holes drilled in the gas cylinder is the required alteration. I have swapped the gas locking nut with one I have removed the poppet valve from. That means it vents over 90 % of the gas forward instead of pushing the aim sideways via the holes drilled in the side. A semiauto is considered a particularly dangerous firearm and are not allowed in competition shooting -sound familiar?

Philippsburg Ranges Germany.

I have a question.  Are these typical of how most ranges appear in Europe?














 

Thank you Tony, that is very insightful.   The costs of our nicer ranges are similar it seems, or at least in my congested state.   More safety is never a bad thing, and a look at your methods might save some of our clubs and ranges some considerable money as they fight constant litigation for environmental concerns, noise, or claims of errant bullet impacts.  The NRA helps out a lot, but they are not comprehensive in their coverage to protect our ranges and clubs.  Of course, some of the less populated states, citizens can drive out to open land and just set up their own range, so the experience is highly regional.

 

Was that during the annual HK Trophy match?

This is in Saint Petersburg, Russia
