Hey I am new to Portland, sort of, lived here until '81 and now i'm back,  were are the good gun shops, and shooting ranges?  Your help is appreciated.  

For good gun shops... there aren't any. There are however, some guns to be had at NW Armory, The Gun Broker (2, count 'em, 2 locations), Keith's in Gresham, and, well, that's about it. For a goof, check out The Gun Room in SE.
Kesselring's up North of Seattle is the only one I've heard good about.
For ranges, there are several 100-200 yd facilities. For longer yardages, try Tri County or Douglas Ridge.

Yes, Keith's Sporting Goods is probably the best gunshop in the area. I bought a P226 there for $550 a couple of years ago.  NW Armory in Milwaukee used to be pretty good also but I havn't been there for over a year.

For ranges, try the Tri-County Gun Club in Sherwood([url]www.trgc.org[/url]).  It's AR friendly and holds a Practial Rifle competition on every second Saturday of the month([url]www.practicalrifle.com[/url].

On the east side, try the Douglas Ridge Rifle Club on Estacada Hwy.

Good guys guns is not too bad a place to go, but it is in Salem (on Silverton road I think).  Their prices are generally competitive, but Keith's on Victory is still probably the best.  He used to sell those Elcan scopes for $650, and no sales tax in Oregon....
