Hi all,
I've been given a couple of old 70's and 80's break barrel .177 rifles that I have pulled apart, replaced seals and springs, and generally restored back to working order. 
Now I would very much like to find someplace where I can take my son, zero in the scopes (as best I can) and in general just enjoy the fruits of my labour. 

As I'm a beginner I'm not too fused about being super accurate (that may change if I get more into it), and I'm sure these old ladies will not be able to compete with any of the new generation of rifles. So for now just looking for a bit of fun with my son.

Any recommendations of any airgun ranges?...much appreciated

Phil

Gday Phil,

Welcome here. I'm not from ChCh so don't know anywhere there. But if I had to find places around where I live I think I would go for a drive in the country and  try and find a quiet spot, or leave a note in a farmers letterbox introducing yourself and asking if there;s somewhere you can shoot, even if it's along a fenceline or under a tree belt. 
It seems like a lot of effort, but it could start up a good relationship and having somewhere to shoot is valuable.

All the best, and keep us informed how you get on.

Paul.

Thanks Paul...That could certainly be an option. 
Thanks for the suggestion.
