Cooper Classic Deer Rifle?

What do you guys think of a Cooper classic in a 7mm-08 as a deer rifle? All of their rifles shoot incredible and they are so well built. My issue with them is that they are a single shot but truthfully there are thousands of people who swear by the encores and contenders. The other rifles I was considering were the Kimber, model 7 or the 700 titanium. Any views would be great. Thanks guysï¿½

I own a Cooper classic varmint rig. It is flat out the most accurate out of the box rifle I have ever owned. Other than mounting a scope I have never done a thing to it and it regularly turns in 1/4 MOA. The trigger was crisp too!

I have a Cooper varmint extreme and am looking at the classic vs haveing a single shot custom built. They are a wonderfully accurate rifle right out of the box. I wouldn't hesitate on a Cooper.
