[QUOTE="Zep, post: 772049, member: 39468"] If it were me and I knew the history of these rifles and I was happy with that, or better yet, they have seen very little use I would go for the 22-250 and 243. But I am on the east coast and those are the calibers for what I would hunt (woodchucks). As for single shot, that is part of the Cooper thing. I have one in 223 and I am very happy using it for woodchucks. I know my limits and I have been shooting for quite a few years. And as mentioned, if you reload you will probably need a longer over all cartridge length to get close to the lands than will fit in the magazine. One think to keep in mind, a Cooper is not a bench rifle, they come right out and say that in the owners manual. If you want something to put a lot of holes in paper I would look at something else. That's just my view. Price wise, 1000. might be low. Like I said in another post above, go to their web site and see what they cost new and go from there. [/QUOTE]
