The Most Beautiful Range

This may be one of the best looking ranges out there. It is in Gimmewald, Switzerland. Bloke on the Range shows us a little bit of shooting for civilians. In Switzerland, the government has ammo allotted for its citizens to use and practice. I am not sure if it is mandatory or not. Regardless, the range’s ambiance is gorgeous. I don’t recognize the rifle. But he is shooting GP11 ammo aka 7.5x55mm Swiss.

    Rode a cable car up from the valley floor to Gimmelwald many years ago. A fellow passenger had his service rifle slung over his shoulder and no one panicked! This is truly one of the most beautiful places on Earth and well worth the time to visit.

      @Lammo In 1973, after returning from Vietnam, I visited Switzerland for a few months. Was always amused whenever I saw elderly gentlemen on bicycles with their old rifles slung over their shoulders. My Swiss friends all had the new Sturmgewehr 57s in their closets along with sealed cans of ammo, their uniform and kit.

    They seem to have a common sense approach to gun safety in Switzerland. Kids who are taught truth about guns are not likely to have accidents or worse. Us needs more CMP encouragement and support. I am the NRA but I feel like we are so few compared to the numbers of gun owners. Why? I love everything about it.
