YeaI'm kinda in the market for a new rifle....I'm tempted to buy a Cooper, probably a Timberline, get it cerakoted and even have the stock painted to my liking. I'd be all in for $3100-3300, and use the savings to buy premium glass.
ThksThe muzz purchase kinda comes down to budget. I've said it before but I see 3 distinct price points with new ones...:.u could possibly find anything used but I never see them for sale in the used marketplace.
The $1200-1400 option is likely the best pure return on the investment. I have two friends that bought the Hankins converted CVA 45-70 and they both love it. Also the Arrowhead Encore barrel has gotten very high marks from everyone I've heard and read about.
The $3500ish will get you a trued REM or Win action along with premium components. I've been told that the action on a smokeless is far less of a priority, and the barrel is what will make it break its accuracy. There are quite a few builders who will do this job and their work is A1.
Finally there is the "go for it, u only line once" route. $5000-5500 and you'll get a build with every component being high end and it will look however u decide, and should shoot as good as any well made centerfire.
McWhorter will have 3-4 made and posted for sale by May/June usually. Their lead time on a spec build is about 3mos. I've owned 2 and both shot one ragged hole at 100 and the ballistics were sick.
They are pricey, but they will develop your load and include enough pre-sized bullets to last quite a while. They will be lasting me a long time, because the one drawback is the recoil. Mine is about 9lbs naked with a 27" barrel plus their brake. I shoot 74gr of 4198 and a 325gr Pittman.....and it knocks the snot out of me. I'll shoot it a few times before each season to practice and foul the barrel, that's it.
Honestly if I could only choose one gun to cover all seasons it would be my .45.
Good luck and I'm happy to share any thoughts or ideas as I've been down multiple paths with smoke poles.
Holy buckets....$6900! I love my McWhorters and can say that in my eyes their rifles are incredible in every way. But, I know de facto that u could have a great builder use the exact same components and get it built for $5500, maybe less.Thks
U have been a big help
Yea I called mcwhorter on Monday they have a carbon wrap ml just finish up. It's in the 6900$ Naked
