    Welcome 69chevelle. What distances can you shoot at your range and what engine do you have in your 69 Chevelle? I like guns and muscle cars. I can't afford muscle cars, but I sure like looking at them!

    My range right now only has out to 700 yards,but they are working to get a 1000 yard range. My chevelle ss has a 396-375 hp engine. Just did a frame off restore on it about 2 years ago thanks for asking. Steve

    You've got to be alright Steve! Great rifle in a great cartridge. Great car with a great engine. You'll love ringing metal plates at 1,000 yds!

    There are lots of great places to stretch it out further than 1000 in WV.
