Not that I know about.
Keep in mind the liability of a range letting someone shoot the big 50 cal, with improper handling, they can hurt themselves or send a round off over the berm into the great unknown.

Re: 50 cal rental anywhere?
None that I know of.. Nearly all ranges I've been to that rented guns were indoors. And there isn't many indoor places that can handle the 50BMG. The blast alone would be enough to drive away their other customers when indoors.

My local indoor range had a guy bring one in to shoot, they didn't ask what he would be shooting. Needless to say, he got through 6 shoots, everyone was moving away from him and the guy running the place came back to the lanes. The bullet was going through the back wall. He was asked to leave and never to bring it back.
I feel this is part of the ranges fault, they should ask what you will be shooting. The guy honestly didn't know it would go through the wall, and for the others there, I guess he felt he had every right to shoot as he paid also.

Someone brought and shot a 50cal rifle at an indoor range? How would someone even think that was okay? What range was this? Did his shots his anyone outside the range? Wouldn't the percussion and sound, deafen someone? Sometimes it just amazes me how some people can be so stupid.

Re: 50 cal rental anywhere?
LMAO.. I double up on ear protection when there are 3-4 other shooters at the indoor range.. I couldn't imagine the sound coming from a 50, in an indoor range.
OP:, might be better off trying to find someone that owns one and seeing if they will let you shoot it.. Or do what I do, hang out at the range, someone will feel sorry for you and let you try out their rifle.. You'll need to find a good 5-600+ yard range where the big 50's hang out.Last edited by Pkspawn; July 1st, 2011 at 10:32 AM.

Google Washington County Machine Guns. It's as far west in Pa as you can get.
I believe they may have something like that, even full auto.Opinions are like anal apertures. They all stink but mine.

Only one even close to NJ that I know of would be Shooters Gauntlet. I was there back in June for their machinegun shoot and I can't wait to go back. Most fun you can have with your clothes on.
