I have a 1000-yd range within 90 minutes of my place. Anyone can shoot on that range with whatever rifle & scope they choose at any time the range is open. That is the way it should be.Yeah that's definitely not me. I have a 600 yard range within an hour of my house. And being near the coast we good a good amount of wind. You have to qualify by putting 5/5 shots inside of a dollar bill on a fresh target at 300 with a Range Officer watching the whole thing to even be able to go over to the 600 range. You receive a card that day with the scope and rifle combo you used to qualify that is good for 1 year, and you are only allowed to take that exact rifle/scope over to the 600 yard range, and they do check every person, every time. Most of the guys I see over at the 600 range are the same guys that are always there all day long, shooting their 6.5s and smoking cigars. Dudes couldn't walk up 2 flights of stairs, let alone a mountain, but they can shoot.
