There are multiple 6.5-284 Cooper Backcountry rifles for sale at firststopguns.com

I've had a pile of rifles over the last 35 years, enough for 3 48 gun safes full and a 12x12 gun vault room in my house. One of my favorite semi custom rifles is H.S. Precision. I've never had one shoot outside their 1/2" guarantee, most have been in the 3/8 ths area. I've paid a lot more for custom built guns that haven't shot as good. Cooper builds a good rifle. There are many more quality rifles out today than ever before.

H.S. Precision rifles had an awesome reputation 10 years ago. They were accurate semi customs before there were many accurate semi customs. I dont hear much about them any longer. This means nothing.

the christensens look sweet. i'm just not crazy about the carbon fiber barrel shroud. if this was a benchrest rifle i might go that route. but after what i did to my 300 rum elk hunting this past fall i want an all weather tough rifle. if the rifle looks like a ferrari i would never take it into the brush. lol

Not sure I understand this? What's wrong with a carbon fiber in weather? my brother in law has a Christensen in 338 lapua, I saw him go underwater with it across his back crossing a river, he slipped and fell on the rocks. No issues with that gun in weather. Has it topped with a mark 4 leupold, never hurt it either. We have hunted from -30C in late mountain goat season to +30C in the early fall seasons. I like it so much I bought a fierce in the carbon edge, am I missing something here???

After 75 replies to:" best production rifle out there". Again it appears to me to come down to the same old answer., It all depends on the application. Big animal, small animal, turkeys even, close range far range. Expensive to shot, not expensive to shot, little recoil lots of recoil, and all variables. It comes down to what it will be used for and personal preference. In another month or two this will all appear again, but the answer will never change.

Y'all trippin sako carbonlight all the way.
