[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 841791, member: 4809"] Sounds like you are headed in the right direction. Cooper makes a quality firearm - and many would list it as a custom build. The Nightforce is also a great scope. Something to think about is how you want this rifle to handle. While Nightforce is a great scope, the NXS is no lightweight (with the BEAST weighing even more). On a 9 pound rifle, I found the NXS made the rifle feel "top heavy" and out of balance. The rifle was always wanting to roll right or left on me. I still have an NXS on my 12 pound rig and it just feels right, especially with the A-5 stock. Not bashing Nightforce in any way - just saying they are built like tanks and sometimes that weight can dominate the rifle and take it out of balance. [/QUOTE]
