Cooper rifles

Postby FJ540 on Sat Jul 10, 2010 5:07 pm

Anyone have anything to say about them?

There's a rather nice single shot bolt action .308 down at cabela's in Owatonna. Maybe it'll still be there when the August cash back cards come out.

Considering they're asking $100 less than list on a gun that's got a few blemishes, I'm thinking it's not going to be coming home with me.

I'm certainly intrigued by the Cooper 1/2" @100yds accuracy guaranty.

Just remember that ticket prices at cabela's are ALWAYS negotiable. Sometimes significantly so. You will never be unhappy with a Cooper. Ever.

I've been looking at some of them on gunbroker and all of them are showing single holes on their 100yd paper.

I can put all my rounds on a paper plate at 100yds rapid fire kneeling out of service rifles with russian crap ammo, funny guy. ;) With my Colt Accurized, I use to keep them all in the 10 ring at 300yds with cheap ammo. Now if I could only shoot half as well with a pistol these days...


I knew I remembered the Cooper name from somewhere, but couldn't place it yesterday - Dan Cooper's the one who gave bama $3K and sent the gun community nuts in `08.

I think the company tossed him out to for some of his politics.

That's what they'd like us to believe anyway.

The folks who work there sure do make some nice rifles...

I thought I saw somewhere that the test targets were shot at 50 yds. I could be wrong though..

Rimfire's are 50yds, center fires are 100. The gun's are guaranteed to shoot 1/2" at 100yds. I've even read that they'll take them back for warranty work if they ever fail to do so.

Now the question is what do I want it chambered in and will I ever get the balls to bring it into the field if I bought one? All the more reason to buy the pre-chewed one they have in Owatonna, but the price is higher than as-new ones on GB.
