Im glad to see I am not the only one that has run into this. I can understand an RO wanting to leave early if no one is coming up to shoot, hell I try and do the same thing at my job. I cant blame a guy for wanting to do that. Then again if I expect or have the chance someone will come into my office, I have to be here and have it open. However, I just think the actual times the range closes should be posted and abide by. If the sign said no admittance 90min before sundown, then thats fine, as long as it is communicated properly to members. Now I know not to go up during the week except for the rare occasion I can get off work 2+ hours early

Thanks, yea I will from now on. I just found it odd, and a bit annoying they advertise one schedule, and apparently have a totally different one. I was also kind of hoping they would eventually be open later during the longer summer days.

Ok so I am pretty new to rifle scopes. I have never had to buy one, nor do I really know what I should be looking for in a decent scope. I was seeing if anyone could give me some advice or suggestions for a decent scope within my price range. Right now I have a Sig 556. I love absolutely love this weapon. Great alternative to the standard AR platform. Being in the Army, I can easily hit 300m targets iron sighted or with a red dot, however there are certainly downsides to shooting that distance with no scope. I am looking into getting I guess a medium power scope that I can see what Im hitting better, and to get my grouping tighter. Just something I can throw on the top of my rifle for a different kind of shooting. Of course being in NJ, the furthest I can shoot here is 200-300yds... So right now I am looking to spend $100-300, I know that isnt a lot but just seeing what I can get the most bang for my buck. If anyone has any suggestions or maybe what I should/shouldnt be looking for that would be great. thanks!

So a buddy of mine and I joined Cherry Ridge this past Sunday with the intention of going up there a few times during the week. During the orientation meeting we were told that Cherry Ridge closes 30 minutes before sundown. This statement is also repeated on their website and on the main "sign" upon entering the property. Today after leaving work early we headed up asap and arrived at 6:45pm and were told that the range was closing at 7pm, even though sundown is at 8:28pm. We thought we would have around an hour to shoot, but we were pretty much told the range was closed and we couldnt. After further inquiring as per hours of operation, we were told the range closes at 7pm and that MAYBE next week they will extend the hours until 7:30pm. Needless to say we were pretty bummed after driving 30 minutes up and having to essentially turn around. So my question is, does the range ACTUALLY ever close 30 minutes before sundown, or is there usually un-posted closing times? Going by the sundown rule, that provides plenty of time past 7:30 in the summer to shoot, which is perfect for those of us stuck at work until 6pm like myself. Is this something typical of Cherry Ridge, or will their hours continually extend throughout the summer? Was it a newbie mistake? Maybe, but if they have specific hours like they close at 7pm, then it should be posted. Nowhere online, on their sign, or during the orientation do they state the hours are any different than the "sundown" rule.

I just ordered the Sig 556 SCM from Ramsey Outdoor for $1099, that includes the sig red dot. The funny thing is, they have a used one on consignment with obvious wear on the receiver for $1200. im really shocked to see this rifle was going for $1400+, some online retailers still have this price, which is insane!
