I ran across a Cooper benchrest rifle, a TRP3 with a green synth stock. The dealer said that it only had 28 rounds shot through it, and was asking $1200. If it is in good shape (seems so), is this a decent price?

SnowwolfeNot good, not bad. MSRP is $1550 or so. Would bet an ordering dealer would order you one for $1,400 or close to it.

GatogordoIf you had any real interest, I'd offer him $1000. That rifle is a tough sale IMO.

PeterI agree! Very limited market.

sputsterI did go buy it; came with Talley bases and rings, and a cylindrical, stainless steel barrel tuner that clamps to the barrel. Will have to find out more about that one.
Questions: Since this is a (albeit entry-level) benchrest rifle, does the stock scre have to be torqued to a specific value?
What would be a good bore guide for it?
Suggestions on scopes? WIll be meant for 50 yards, benched of course.
