Cooper Firearms -- Test Targets ??

.

Every Cooper rifle I see for sale has a test target that looks like this one.

Are these targets shot at 100 yards ??

They are fired in their underground 50 yard range.

You are correct they are shot at 50 yards and the rifles are produced by a company that supports politicians that are anti gun... Coopers Arms owner Dan Cooper is wierd

I think they fired his ass for supporting Obongo.

Deep irony huh ? Being "fired" from the firearms company that bears your name for
supporting an anti-gun politician.

Too bad. They do make some nice rifles though.

I can believe 50 yards. Still damn good for
sporter barrels.

Well shit...they use handloads tailored for the gun, and at 50 damned yards most every gun in my safe can do just as good. AND most of em ain't $2500 either! AND I have a lot of em too. People that think this is great for a $2500 gun are nuts! My Weatherby Ultra Lightweight 06 can do that...at 100 yards. PLUS Roy did not support assholes!!!

One of the gun mags (I can't remember which)tested a cooper rifle a couple months ago. The made a point of mentioning that the groups they got were nowhere near as good as the test target. I think they averaged a little less or a little more than an inch with various types of ammo. I'm pretty suprised to hear that the groups are shot at only 50 yards. I just assumed they used a machine rest of some type.

You gotta admit, it's been an extremely effective marketing tool.

SOB might as well use the second amendment as a test target!

Cooper/Obama Firearms will have to work a heck of a lot harder than a free target to get any of my hard earned money.
