Where they shoot the scope? (5)

I believe the answer is:

range

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'the scope?' is the definition.
('range' can be a synonym of 'scope')

I don't understand the rest of the clue.

(Other definitions for range that I've seen before include "Walk for miles" , "Cooking stove or location for target practice" , "Open grazing land or cooking stove" , "1 across [CLASSIFY]" , "Area for shooting practice" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
