Doing a N. New Mexico circle around.
Going crazy at home, need to Roam!
This PM stopped at NRA Whittington, which is just SW of Raton, NM.
They have a small but nice display room.
Looked into the New Items case.
Wow! Tom Selleck donated a Movie Gun!
It’s a Repo, but Tom used it in a movie and donated it.
Thanks Tom!
They also have a sales area with Guns and Ammo.
Bought 2 boxes 45ACP. SIL Christmas present.
Weirdest thing I saw for sale?
Nickel Clone Italian made Sharps in 357 Mag!

That's a great place. I shot the National Match rifle course there while shooting for the military in the 80s.

I haven't been there in quite a while. Isn't it WSW of Raton? Need to get back up there sometime.

What is a repo?

It's a gun that evidently couldn't finish paying for, so they came and repossessed it. I used to work with a guy that did repo work. You'd have thought Tom cold have paid his bills.

Repo= reproduction
That is a beautiful place. I’ve been there twice
for silhouette matches. Didn’t shoot well either time.

It is a great place-to visit or to shoot. Went for the first High Power Silhouette Match when the only thing there was an old trailer at the barb wire gate! Been many more times for the Silhouette and the Coors Schuetzen matches as well as the original Keneyathlon competitions.
Coors provided a lot of money for their range construction after the problems in Golden!
Love to get an elk hunt there!

Good shooting.

Nice story and very generous of Mr. Selleck.

Still, big difference between repro and repo.

Love that place. We trained our team there a few times. I bunked my team in the lodges, full kitchen and nice sitting area with an outside BBQ. Add some steaks, brews and a couple team bros who can cook and had a great week! Well now you got me nostalgic...But I don't live close enough anymore. Strongly recommend it. Very reasonable back when we went.
