Just picked up my first Cooper, admired them for a while and wwhen this one became available when the guy got tired of waiting and backed out I decided to scoop it. Heard they are great shooters, my first AI caliber too, any input on rifle or caliber appreciated

c4x4,
congrats on one excellent rifle
never ever heard one bad word about them.i don't own one,but ive got a semi-custom 2506 with a shilen 26 inch tube and love it.
keep us posted
regards

congrats on your purchase of a truly fine rifle. I have two of them, and am nothing but happy with them. When I am feeling flush, another one, a model 52 Custom Classic will join the stable.

Nice find. Can you post pictures?

I've just started loading for the 25-06 AI myself. I hope to get mine up and running well for winter coyotes.

i have never fooled with a 25AI. i use the standard 25-06 with great effect on groundhogs and deer. same load with RL 22 and hornady 100 grain interlocks. are you guys pleased with the AI? is there a noticable difference between the standard and AI round? I get around 3330fps with my load and deer go down like they are being attacked by a shark. typically they fall, raise up then go down like something is pulling with great force.

i think it is outstanding in its regular form, but i have never fooled with a 257 wby. i just wonder that if the increased velocity would necessitate the use of more expensive bullets.

I just got my Cooper 21 today in .204 and so far,I love it! and what a great trigger too!...waiting for the Buhnell Elite 4200 8-32x40mm Scope,that should bring them lil rats in close...not to meniton some long range Crow shooting!
