A couple of weeks ago, I picked up a new LH Cooper Model 21 Varminter in .17 Mach IV. I mounted a Leupold 6.5x-20xAO/EFR in Talley rings and bases, and began the barrel break-in using Cooper's Varmint Extreme Ammo (25gr. Hornady JHP).

Results so far are VERY encouraging. Here is a three-shot group I shot today (rounds 23-25 of barrel break-in).

The group measures .162" c-t-c!

I cannot wait to start loading for it

Shoot straight, shoot often, but by all means, use enough gun!

WOW, not a "bad" starting point

I hope my Cooper (LH also) will be showing up in the next six weeks or so. I'm very excited about mine.

Thanks for the update, George.

Six weeks?! Is it a special order?

Mine's a LH Classic in .222, I'm about halfway through the quoted 12 weeks. LH Coopers are not particularly hard to find, just certain models and calibers. I chose a harder to find caliber and combined with the model and LH action, well you get the story.

Great groups, I have a 17 in a classic, and a 223 in varminter and they shoot great,love them Coopers.
