Does anyone have a Cooper rifle. What are your comments on them? Thanks.
I have used one, and currently looking into a model 92 in 300 H&H, as well as a model 51 or 54, ( undecided) I have a nice credit balance, at the local high end gun dealer,
I intend to order a Model 92 when the house in canada is sold, and with the credit I have, a cooper or legendary arms works, likely in 308 or 348win. or perhaps in .284win Mostly a Excalibur, with a 18" tube. Will be 6 x 45, if I decide to go with, the model 51
The actions are very smooth, and fit, finish and accuracy are very good, I know of several guys with one, and have shot several my self, I like them.
They are not light weight rifles, seven lbs approx for a 308 action.
for your viewing pleasure.

I imported a Mod 21 left hand in 204 Ruger a few years ago. Most accurate rifle I have had. First 3 shot group went about 0.25 at 100m with factory ammo!
Since had 2 x 6Br, 20Br and 22Br and still think the Cooper would out shoot them. Not sure why I sold it now I come to think about it!

A bit of info about the Cooper for anybody interested...
Cooper Varmint Extreme, 17 Ackley Hornet, single shot, model 38 action which is very small and designed for the hornet sized case, exhibition grade Claro walnut stock, after market Jard trigger. Rifle is accurate and has shot .25 5 shot groups in the past. Sorry guys but it's not for sale! :)
Are there any other Cooper rifles being used in NZ ?
There was a 6.5x284 on trade me for a while and I seen it on a website the other day but can’t remember which one

Possibly because the stock was so glorious, you were afraid to put a ding in it while in the field? :PQuote:

When I bought them I also bought an Excalibur synthetic stock for each rifle for when we go hunting in rough or wet conditions. The top photo is the M54 250 Sav AI. The last photo is the two Coopers with a Sauer 202 between them.
