I have a Steiner D2 that i bought a while back. Can anyone fill me in on the best(most useful) way to zero this? The reason it doesn't seem obvious to me is because of the offset. Should I use point of aim/ point of impact at a set distance? Or only zero elevation and leave it offset? I imagine I'll be using it inside of 200 yards, if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Hey so this has come up elsewhere a couple of times so Id love feedback from someone who knows: Correct me if In wrong, but Maine does have public land you can target shoot on (in addition to the two or three public ranges)...it's basically the same public land you can hunt on. If you can find yourself a place that fulfills your target practicing needs in one of these places, you're good to go.

Whether that's the best idea or place during hunting seasons and how much evidence you need that you're just target shooting (on, say, Sundays) if a warden comes by, I don't know....but the land is available..

(I'm assuming but don't know that the state parks listed have different restrictions)

Does anyone have any recommendations or advice of specific outfitters either used or known for guided Elk hunts? I’m looking to plan a trip for 2026 out west to Utah, Wyoming or Montana to do an elk hunt and really looking for a reputable outfitter for a good experience. Cost saving is not specifically something in the decision making, I’d rather put up a little more $$ and have a good experience than save and have a crappy one.

Anyone know of any ranges in Southern Maine that have a 200 yard set up? I am currently a member of a club that only has a 100 yards. Just looking to have some fun shooting farther lengths. Am willing to join another club as well.

Uncle Henry’s is gone so is there anywhere else in maine that you can “publicly” private sale guns? It seems like it was the last place to advertise guns

Found a CZ P10 magazine with an extended aluminum baseplate (with a tape wrap) at a local sandpit range in New Gloucester. If you're in the area, you know the one.

If you're missing a mag, comment with the extended baseplate and tape color and I'll arrange for you to get your magazine back.

Yes, the business is done. Yesterday was the last day the range was open. We have been under control of the bank for about a month and a half now. The shop will still be open on black Friday and the following Saturday. There will actually be some pretty good prices on the remaining Windham Weaponry ARs (300Blk and 5.56 SRCs will be under $500). We believe that Saturday will be the final day but we are honestly in the dark on when the doors will be shut for good. The company and all inventory will be going to auction. We have no details on that yet. Feel free to ask me anything in the comments and I will answer to the best of my abilities. Thanks for the ride y’all.

Windham Indoor is gone. Today is the last day for the range and the store is closing in a couple weeks. What they have left in stock is cheap.

I know many people don't like giving up locations but I figured I'd ask. Looking for a place to go shooting, respectful and will not leave trash ect. I am in Portland and preferably looking for something within 30 minutes, outdoors.

Hi!

I decided to create a Maine chapter of the Pink Pistols as I noticed the nearest chapter was Boston (at the time I created the chapter). If anyone wants more info on this please feel free to message me about it =^.^=

Anyone know why WISR has abruptly cut their hours down to Thursday-Saturday? Their website also says that they are no longer accepting FFL transfers. What's going on? Are they going out of business?

This is a reddit thing. A) Even activity technically within reddit's rules can create problems for you, the sub, etc. B) Even if those edge cases didn't sometimes cause problems, I don't have the time to monitor the sub closely enough to sort out in from out here in this area. Sorry :/

Hey folks, I’m in southern Maine and just wondering if there are any places that allow moving and shooting (I guess you’d call it tactical shooting?).

I’m just getting bored of standing at an indoor range. I’ve also heard of gravel pits on private land but I’m assuming that these are for people who are friends with the land owner and unfortunately I don’t know anyone with access to those kind of places.

Any help would be appreciated and I also don’t mind travelling to somewhere I can spend a day shooting with my wife.

Thanks in advance!

For those who voted in person today, did you have a petitioner with a "gun safety" petition? We did in Biddeford. I read the petition, it's to put a Red Flag law on the ballot next year.

I need a large gun safe. I'm aware of several places that sell them, but I don't have the ability to actually get it home and move it into my house - and haven't found anywhere that provides this service. What kind of company do I even hire for something like this? Anyone have recommendations?

Willing to also buy the safe from them, if they can also handle the installation.

I found a metal 7.62x39 AK-pattern magazine at the entrance to my local forest range. It's in New Gloucester, uphill walk past a gate a good ways to get in.

If you lost a magazine there, dm me with either a picture or description (color specifically) and I'll try and get it back to ya. I don't own an AK and probably won't for some time due to ammo prices. Found it a few weeks back, just remembered to post now.

Hi,

Live in Maine. Just inherited three shotguns and two rifles of uncertain age, but are definitely not new. All are probably at least 30 years old.

Two 20 gauge shotguns- break open style One 12 gauge- side loading 1 .22 Rifle 1 rifle, small caliber but larger than .22?

As you can probably tell from my descriptions, I'm not a big gun guy. Not against them, just not really into them. Kinda like motorcycles. Never felt the need to own one, but they look like fun, more power to you if you like them.

My question is, what should I do next? I have a safe for them that they came in, and they are secured and locked up. No ammo in the house at all. Do I need to oil them or otherwise maintain? They seem free of rust, but also aren't oily.

For the Maine specific part: I've read I don't need to register them. Truth to that?

Also, I feel I should take a gun safety class. Any recommendations on one in Midcoast area, Knox County or Waldo County specifically?

Thanks
