Where to rent rifles in Philly?
I am visiting my brother this week in Philly, and thought it would be nice to find a range and rent some rifles. I am 19 and he is 22, so obviously I am not able to fire pistols. I have fired a few rifles before, while my brother has never fired a gun.
Is there anywhere near philly that allows you to rent rifles? I saw classic pistol, but according to their website, you have to own a firearm in order to rent, so that doesn't work.
There wouldn't be an issue driving 30-40 minutes for a range if needed.

So you don't have to be a member to rent there?

Re: Where to rent rifles in Philly?
I'm reasonably sure you can rent as a non-member.
Best to call, though:

SPAG - South Philadelphia Archery and Gun is your best bet.
Its probably one of the nicest indoor ranges I've ever seen, and that staff is very friendly and helpful.
Be prepared to pay an arm and a leg though. I'm talking.... at least $250 for a few hours worth of fun. You'll have to pay $15 per person, plus $25 per rifle (I think), and you must buy ammo from them, which is expensive as it is.
Call them and ask. Also, mention that both of you have zero experience with guns, so they make sure to go over all the safety points with you.==============
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquillity of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, — go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!”
~Samuel Adams
"I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it."

Classic Pistol rents rifles, though they are a bit outside of Philly.

Re: Where to rent rifles in Philly?
As I mentioned in the first post, I don't think that will work, as it says:
"Please note. Our rental policy only allows us to rent to two or more people or individuals that have their own firearms with them."
I'll give a call to SPAG later, hopefully they'll be fine

Re: Where to rent rifles in Philly?
you don't have to own or bring your own gun to rent a rifle/pistol at classic pistol. i shoot at classic pistol all the time and i always see people renting guns that don't have heir own guns with them.
