When considering US based operations of guides/outfitters, check and see if they are NRA members. If not, why support someone who doesn't support us? Consider spending your money elsewhere.

NEVER, EVER book a hunt with BLAIR WORLDWIDE HUNTING or JEFF BLAIR.

I have come to understand that in hunting, the goal is not the goal but the process.

Gee,
For an extra grand you get a knot in the most visible part of the stock!

I was thinking exactly the same thing.


The price of knowledge is great but the price of ignorance is even greater.

Well, I for one think it is a bargin. A left handed Cooper, if I was left handed or had a son left handed I would be all over this. That knot won't affect anything and I am sure that if a problem arose that Cooper would stand behind it 100%.
I have owned several coopers and their customer service is second to none.

I think it’s a pretty piece of wood and I normally don’t like light colored wood. Might be just the photo, but this wood has a nice “warmth†to it that allot of lighter wood doesn’t have.

I also agree with jimmyd223, that little knot isn’t going to hurt anything structurally, and if it bothered a guy that much there are plenty of good stock makers out there that could make it pretty much disappear for you.

I'm left-handed, and I own a left-hand Cooper in .17 Mach IV.

However, I cannot imagine getting a stock that looks like that (too bland) at no extra cost, let alone for an extra $999.

George, that is very true, if you were paying an "extra" grand for the stock. It is a no reserve and the high bid is 1225.00, which is less than a standaerd gun. So from that stand point I see it as a bargin.

Just to be clear, it isn't my gun, nor am I a left handed shooter. OTOH, I agree with the "pluses" above, I kind of like the stock look, it is something different to talk about on the range, etc. and if I was a lefty and if it was chambered in almost anything but that cartridge, I'd be all over it at anywhere near those numbers.

Jimmy, who is it that we know with a left handed son???? Damn, the name escapes me. Is it Tyler's Dad?

Chic, I was going to say Tyler's "Cheap" Dad, but any Dad that would order his son a Hein Custom can't be all bad.

Hello,
I may be wrong again but thats not a model 38. I think the 38 is only for hornet based rounds. Isn't the the 17 MK IV on the 221.

Correct- per Cooper's website, the 17 Mach IV is on the Model 21.

Hell it looks better than I expected. My first reaction was it was going to be fiberglass in pistachio green.
