Default Any good rifle ranges in SoCal?

Just wondering if anyone here has any experience with good rifle ranges in SoCal.

Looking for one that can/will take 7.62 NATO.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for that bit of info. Good to know.

Any range in particular that you recommend? I searched online and found a few (i.e. Lytle Creek, Mike Raahauge's Shooting, West End Gun Club, etc), but I was looking for personal experiences at any of these ranges.

Angeles Crest has a nice setup with good benches.

Burro Canyon is ok... only if you are renting private tac ranges, other wise it sucks.

Cool, thanks, Janus. I will check those out, especially Angeles Crest (I've heard from someone at Turner's that this was a good place, too).

We can, and some do, but I'm not sure of the legality of this (never exerted the necessary effort to look it up). I know that a bunch of folks go up into the mountains and fire off into the trees in these makeshift "ranges".

I'm going to be going with a group to the desert in a few weeks if you wanna roll out this way.
