[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 1896927, member: 1940"] Since my early 20’s when I traded for my first custom, I’ve insisted on really accurate, nice looking rifles, of which nearly all are out of my price range. I’ve traded or sold a bunch of great guns to fund the next perfect rifle. Of them all the two I still regret parting with are a 1977 colt match target .22. I wasn’t using It much and sold it for Christmas money. A good cause but not necessary. Easy to roll pop cans at 75 yards off the hood of my Volkswagen. The other is a Cooper Custom Classic model 52 .270. It had exhibition walnut, checkered bolt handle and inletted sling swivels. It was a reliable half minute gun and frequently shot better. Many marmots out to 749 yards. Not my most accurate but hands down the most beautiful. Sold it to fund a custom 7mag long range rifle that moved my kill record on marmots to 1402 yds. Currently have a Cooper Western Classic ordered with the same features and hand picked wood to try replace the .270. [/QUOTE]
