| Anyone own a Cooper Rifle? Do you like it? I've thought about getting a Model 22 in 257 Roberts. Not too many folks have left-handed Roberts available. I regret selling my Dakota in that caliber. Jeff |

| I've got a couple of Coopers and they are some of the finest rifles I've owned. My 22-250 Custom Classic routinely shoots in the mid .3's with several different bullets, under ideal conditions. My best 3-shot group is a .068 at 100 yds, with many in the .1's. My best long range group is a 2.35" at 650 yards shot with 52 gr JLK LD bullets. Have you checked out the gunsamerica.com site for Cooper rifles? I bought my 22-250 from an outfit called etown gun shop listed there. He was highly recommended by Cooper. |

| So, thus far, have you seen anything negative???
NO
They are worth every penny you pay for them. Honestly, I'm worried about the day Cooper realizes that they could get several hundred dollars more. |

| Hi Jeff,
I have a LH Varminter in .17 Mach IV that shoots very well.
The only downside to Coopers is that they will not produce a repeater.

| Add my name to the list of Cooper owners. I have a Varminter in 17 Ackley Hornet. I spent close to nine years saving up for and then searching for this gem. The wait was well worth it!
The only problem I have with Cooper is now I want lots more! |

| I've got 2, a 17HMR and a 22 mag. Both are excellent rifles, very accurate and beautiful. I plan on buying more! I just wish they had a centerfire repeater. |

| My 57-M shoots much better than I can from a bench. It is a beautiful piece of work and worth every penny for a Left handed rifle. |

| The Cooper rimfire Mdl. 57 M LVT 17 HMR has become my favorite prairie dog rifle for shots out to about 180 Yds. I,ll have the same Mdl. in the 17 HM2 for 05 spring prairie dog pup shooting out to 120 Yds. I would like to see Cooper come out with a magazine rifle in the 204 Ruger round . |

| I have many Coopers from their CCMs through their centerfires....I have bought my last, though...They have taken on an arrogance that defies description....My dealer ordered a Custom Classic in 204 for me several months ago (a 6-8 month wait)....Well, Cooper claims they never got his fax AND, further, refused to substitute my rifle on the waiting list hierarchy in place of another rifle he had ordered.....No explanation given by Cooper except it was their "policy"....makes absolutely no sense....
So my "policy" now is to not bother them with my business....
I ordered a much better rifle, by the way....a Cascade .... |
