Sometimes a range rental is all about the novelty, and your listed guns are pretty vanilla (no offence). For newbies and experienced shooters alike, sometimes it's just fun to shoot stuff that's just off the chart of normal availability or even personal desirability for a lark. You could even get some movie posters etc for the displays, or add some costumes (a helmet or jacket or two) for people to get pictures of themselves looking like a movie poster with the guns as a souvenir. Great for social events/parties at the range.

Also get more 22s for new shooters, add a tacticool M4 look 22, a 10/22, a 22 wheel gun, a 22 bolt, maybe a 'cool looking' 22 target pistol. In the same vein, add 20G shotguns -- great for new/young/smaller shooters to try a shotgun out. Also try to stock any reduced recoil ammo you can get for larger calibers like .308/3006, even downloaded 9 and 45 for the same crowd.

I get what your saying, problem is I don't personally have prohib status and until the range actually opens I wont know for sure if they will allow the range to buy and sell prohib, you just never know what the CFO is thinking...

IMO most new shooters, especially the younger crowd but even the middle aged segment will get excited about shooting an AR-15 or a Tavor, seems like anything black and semi-auto will excite the masses... I guess we'll see. I've added back a few more to the rifle list, thinking about it some more, I think the more rifles I have to choose from the longer it will prolong the life of the these guns....
