[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 870638, member: 12995"] I would shy away from Cooper, personally. Just my thoughts. Also, not a fan of Winchester rifles, unless it's an old lever action... Keep in mind that I have seen several SPS's with factory 26" sporter barrels and handloads shooting ½ MOA groups @ 100 yards. One of which belongs to my shooting buddy, who also happens to be a member on here....InvisibleSoul85. His has a .300 WinMag. The only things we've done to his rifle other than paint it, and handload for it, is we free-floated the barrel, and he pillar bedded the stock. Everything else is untouched and all factory. Personally, If you have the money, I would go the SPS route, then send it down to SPR to have that Bartlein barrel put on, and the action all trued up, and stick all in a B&C stock. Then you spend $1,200-1,500 on a rifle that you KNOW is a shooter, and you don't spend $800 buying different brands of ammo trying to figure out what it likes... Then again, you could luck-up and get onet that shoots lights-out with your first choice in ammo... You just never know. [/QUOTE]
