[QUOTE="deertroy1, post: 1007240, member: 53905"] I had a new Cooper Jackson Hunter all stainless in 7mm-08 Rem. The first thing I noticed is that the bolt was not centered in it's stock cut out. Secondly, it had an extremely long throat. I was unable to bore site it and I tried several loads but could not get it to shoot for me. It seemed like it had a barrel run out issue and it was returned to Cooper. They rebarreled it and returned it to me but it still had an extremely long throat. They included four one hole targets that a guy named Ty Yeager shot. I tried several more loads but could not get it to shoot. I'm going to sell it and try another simply because all of you guys seem to have such good luck with them. Before you say it must be the shooter, I have a Hart barreled 300 Win Mag that I can consistently shoot .75" with no problems. I also regularly shoot under 1" with my Marlin GBL but no matter what I tried I could not get that Cooper to group! Maybe I had just lost all confidence in the Cooper because it sure shot for Ty Yeager (who from the video I watched is a better shooter than I will ever be) but it would not shoot for me. [/QUOTE]
