If you want to travel as far as downtown Norfolk, you can go to Bob's Gun Shop address and website below. Bob's has a good selection of firearms, but their ammunition sales on the 2nd florr is something to see. They put all of the ammo out on supermarket shelves for your browsing pleasure. Bob's has range guns for rent as well. Its' a relatively short range, I think only about 15 yards or so.

It's know generically around here as the "Pungo Range'. The address is below. I haven't been since the change of ownership/management and its supposed to have made great improvements with the change. They pretty much allow all rifle calibers with ranges out to ~ 200 yards.
Pungo Range

If your military (active, reserve/national guard, or retired) or a federal LEO, you can shoot at the USMC Range at Camp Allen. This is a Morale Welfare Recreation (MWR) indoor facility that has retrievabale targets out to 25 meters. They allow AR's and (I think AK's) as well as pistol, they have range guns available for rent, but you have to buy their ammo.
