[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 82551, member: 10"] Iron Worker, Cooper range tests their rifles at 50 yards on a machine rest not fired off a shoulder. Keep that in mind, it can be a bit deceiving to a cooper buyer. They are great rifles but that little bug hole on the paper is not what they will average off a human shoulder. Its to bad they do not shoot paper at 100 yards but then there would not be simply one hole. They would make very tight groups but not one holers. I also wish they would test off a human shoulder instead of a machine rest but again, test target would look different. In my opinion a sub 1/2" group fired off a shoulder at 100 yards is more impressive then a bug hole fired from a machine at 50 yards. I am sure you are doing very well, what are your group sizes? As JB mentioned there are a couple things that may have happened with your rifle but generally nothing major. Unless your blowing primers all the time which I am sure you are not. Be sure to keep a high quality moly based grease on those bolt lugs. That will save them on those tight bolt lifts that may occur. Apply this everytime you clean your rifle 20 shots or so. Good Shooting!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
