Or I could see if I could rent a handgun at the range. Keep in mind I'm still not 18...
Warning. Most indoor ranges do NOT allow rifles (except for .22). Something about the noise in a confined space being too loud. 😉
If you are restricted to indoor ranges only, either a pistol/revolver or a .22 rifle are all fine choices, depending upon your age and/or preferences.
I have an SKS, and my middle-aged eyes have trouble with the iron sights. You CANNOT reliably scope an SKS (at least now without drilling some holes and cutting some wood). Keep this in mind. Otherwise, my SKS is fun to shoot and cheap (both good things).
theres a place in scottsdale az that has an undergorund indoor range, you can bring any rifle you choose to shoot. you can also rent any of their firearms. including all their full auto rifles. pretty cool place. ammo gets pricey with those full auto ones tho hehe.
i also remember buying 7.62/39 for 1.70 a box, what they run for now usually? havent bought ammo for about 11 years, still working out of my stash. dad and i split cost on a couple very low price crates.
