New Vacaville Range - Center Mass

[tygerpaw]

I just stopped in at Center Mass, which is in the space that used to be The Shooting Gallery. Nice guys. They dont have a lot of stock right now, but they can get whatever you want. They are OLL friendly, though he did say that they wont be displaying OLL stuff. The next time I need somehting, I'll give them a try.

hey guys,

i shot my hk usp 9mm there a few days ago, the owner was a good guy and the prices are cheaper than guns, fishing and other stuff!!!

also, since i was there for only half an hour, the owner only charged me for HALF price!?!?!? (it's 8 bucks for a full hour, hence 4 bucks for the half he charged me) i also bought 3 targets for 2 bucks.

they also have two sets of shooting lanes. one goes to 17 yrds, the other goes to 25 yrds.

it looks like i'll never return to guns, fishing, other stuff...heh.

Guns, fishing is way way over priced and the majority of people are rude. Not OLL friendly. I would rather drive to the bay area or sacramento.

I just went to Center Mass the other day looking for a possible job. The owner was very nice and inviting. They do need business though. I hope more people come to them instead of guns, fishing, other stuff.

Then they better get the word out any, and every, way they can because their location sucks. GFOS is hugely visible from 80. CM is tucked away in an industrial complex.

Vacaville needs a rifle range

They may be friendly to OLLs but they're dickheads to their customers.

[jasilva]

Just stopped by Center Mass a little while ago to do a PPT. Smooth, easy and very friendly transaction. Talked to the owner for a bit, nice guy and his pricing seems very fair on firearms and range time. I'll be going back for any shooting needs they can meet.

[fourdoorchevelle]

Center Mass I can confirm is OLL friendly. Had my Saiga sent there. Ed is a very nice guy, think he was just as excited to open the case as I was , as he couldn't wait and had to check it out.

[cdtx2001]

I just stopped in Center Mass to check it out. Not too much in the way of selection but I understand how new businesses are. The 2 guys I talked to seemed to be very helpful and willing to obtain whatever I may need. Super cool place. I asked how much their DROS fees were and they said $70. Sounds pretty reasonable and nice knowing there's a nearby place.

In my opinion, GFOS sucks and I vow never to back there again!!!!

[cortayack]

I have shot there twice, including today! Never seems very busy tho...I had the whole room to myself. (But it was a mid-afternoon Monday)...I still got to go to GFOS for primes......

$70?...for a PPT sale?..or for an out of state item shipped to them?

And yes...GFOS sucks and unless I hear that owners changed or something I'll never go back to that store again.

[wolf13]

Good to know that there is a new place to compete (hopefully) with GFOS. I gave that place 3 tries, and will never be back. Never have had a good experience with them, and always get treated like ****.

Rental guns available?
