Default Gun rental?

That' s the only thing I can think of it as. Basically, my question is this: is there a place/way to shoot a particular gun (caliber, make) without purchasing it or borrowing a friend' s gun? If I want to know exactly what a .338 feels like, for example, I don' t know anybody who has one. Any ideas?

We have a local shop around here that will let you try out a " few" shoots from a pistol or shotgun, indoor range so no rifles. When you shoot the 3rd or 4th different gun though he kind of expects you to buy one though. You buy the target and each round of ammo.

IMO for trying out a rifle hang around the range and see if someone will let you touch off a few rounds.

Go out on 441 south of town to see Harry Beckwith. For the right price he will let you do just about anything. I haven' t been in Gainesville for a long time, but, I can not believe that he would change.
