After a lot of thought, I've decided to offer my Cooper up for sale. This gun has been on one hunt into the Wyoming high country and is in great condition. The gun has shot well under .5moa for me out to 500 yards, which is as far as I've shot it. I'll sale the gun with the talley rings which have been lapped and are for a 1" tube. When I bought the gun, the original owner had put 55 shots through it, and I've put approximately 111 more through the gun, always taking 3-5 minutes between shots to allow the bore to cool while on the range. There are approximately 23 reloads remaining, which shot .33moa for me at 100 yards, as well as 20 unfired 280 Remington rounds I bought to fire form more brass. Total spent brass should be in the neighborhood of 97 rounds, with about half of those being once fired and half twice fired, and a total round count of 140. The trigger is set at 2lb 12oz.

This rifle has the following upgrades/additions to a factory model 52 Excalibur:

Stainless 25" barrel
Stainless Action
Custom Stock color of green/olive with black web
Original owner had the bolt cerakoted black by Eddie Fosnaugh
Extra Magazine

I'm asking $2000 for the Rifle, rings and brass. If you want the rifle and the scope (Zeiss Conquest 4.5-14x44 with the rapid z800 reticle) I'll sale the entire package for $2,400. Will work out shipping when the time comes do to so. Will only ship to an FFL that accepts from individuals.

I can text pictures of anything you'd like to see specifically, just PM your number.

Only reason for selling is that I've decided the funds I used for this gun need to go towards a gun safe with my daughter getting older. No rush to sell, so no reason for low ball offers.

I'm not sure on the overall length but I think it's in the 45-46" range. The normal Excalibur has a 24" barrel where this one has the 25". Weight for rifle with scope/bases and empty mag is 140oz (8.75#) and I believe the bare rifle with mag is 7.5.
 
Very nice rifle and a good price. I have a blued model with the much uglier black/pink stock. Mine shoots good but not that good. If you don't mind please send me your load data. Thanks in advance.
 
Sent you a pm. For anyone else interested. The load is 58gr of IMR 4831 with a 140 accubond. COL is by the book. We tried both 56 and 60 grain loads as well and the accuracy went 58-56-60. This gun will shoot the factory loaded nosler 140 ab anywhere from .5-.75moa.
