    Default need a place to check optics

    I live in Philly and I'm looking for someplace where i can check the optics on my rifle out to 100 yards. I spent a while up in Schnecksville (yeah, long drive) at SGL205 but it was pretty freakin' windy that day and I'm not sure my sighting is accurate. I was going to go up there this weekend to double-check, but it is 65 miles one-way, and gas is $4 a gallon, and the wind is supposed to be in the 20 mph range this weekend. Basically I have this long weekend and I wanna shoot, but I don't want to waste time and gas driving halfway to the NY state line. I'm not really interested in joining a rod and gun club at this time but I'd happily pay a one-time guest fee if there was a 100yd range within half an hour, maybe 45 minutes of Center City. I know Holmesburg is close, but I couldn't see on their site if they'd let just anyone in for a day. Anyone know of anything that fits the bill - close to Philly, allows guests, and has out to 100 yards on a rifle range?

    That's actually pretty close to where I work. I'll have to check it out.

    Great suggestion - the RSOs are nice guys, the range seems well-run, and it was an enjoyable experience all around. Thanks!
