Theres a range in the Catskill and one on LI that can handle .50bmg

Other than those two I'm not familiar with any other ranges in NY that do

The Firing Pin in Bergen claims their indoor range backstop will handle. 50 BMG. But its only 25 yards, so whats the point other than to show off, right?

Odessa Community Conservation Club will handle 50 BMG. 205 yard max range into hillside. Flat area next to the shooting house to lay down with the 50.

I would try calling again on Thursday. They're open Thurs-Sun 10am to 3 or 4pm. They have 300 yard targets, though they seem to rarely get used. I've been meaning to shoot 300, but haven't worked up a load since replacing the stock on my .270.

Blue Mountain's 300 yard line was open after being closed for a long time. Can't actually remember when I was there but I remember they had all three open at the big bore range. Golf balls and pins between 100 and 200 yards. I'm sure they would not allow .50 BMG.

Gonna try to call Thursday. .270 is a flat shooter.
What power glass would you use @ 300 that is, of course your not going iron sights

I had a 1.75-5x Vortex Diamondback mounted on my old Remington 700 since it was a woods hunting setup. The crosshairs were wider than I liked at 200 yards, so I swapped it out for a Burris 4-20x after last hunting season. I haven't shot it with the new stock or scope yet, but once I work up a good handload at 200 yards, 300 should be cake. Granted, this is no modern precision rifle. I was shooting 2-3 MOA 4-shot groups with it using factory loads, but a good handload got me down to consistent 0.8-1.1 MOA 4-shot groups benchrested at 200 yards. I'm guessing I'll shoot around 3.5-4" groups at 300 since I'm pretty rusty at reading wind.
