Scotland Lothians Rifle Zeroing Options - help needed

[oilmanjd]

SD members, coming back to UK after several years working out the country. With me being away so much (only back for short holiday), virtually no opportunity to shoot my rifles during last few years.
Does anyone know any place in or around Lothians that is available short term (1-2 hours) that can be used/rented for zeroing my rifles (0.308/22-250/.22LR)? I want to do some practice before I head back out onto the land again on stalks. To be honest, I will be rusty and in interests of humane dispatch, I want to get my eye back in.

Any pointers greatly appreciated.
Thanks team.
Regards.

Bisley at Braidwood for a pipe tunnel. It's pretty good.

Drop me a line
We have ground we use as a ammo test facility west of Edinburgh

Think the tunnel at Braidwood is closed

I had an e-mail saying Braidwood was opening a couple of weeks ago for clays but you had to book.

When I lived in Edinburgh I joined a club and thus got to shoot a lot with really experienced people. I was in the Vintage and got to shoot some amazing historic rifles with them, as well as shooting my own rifles as I saw fit, they don't mind. The West of Edinburgh club also shoots fullbore I think. The NRA website has various contacts you could try.

Morton rifle Range 01506 884500 near Livingston have/had a very good facility, but I don't know if they are still open, their website is down. (They were closed on Mondays anyway, so I wouldn't try phoning till tomorrow)

Been to Braidwood a couple of times to shoot clays recently. No sign of tunnel opening yet.

For weeks now Morton's website has had the message that the indoor range is closed for maintenance (yup, there were months of lockdown for maintenance to be carried out) and that members would be kept posted. Now the website doesn't exist, or at least the "This site can’t be reached" message appears, and phones don't get answered or voicemails responded to. The FB page has some posts from a week ago but only about clays. Anyone got any information or know if they are still in business?

Braidwood pipe range is back open

Used pipe range at Braidwood 10 days ago. It seems to be getting a fair bit of use.
