[QUOTE="Bedon292, post: 555842, member: 37783"] Cooper does not appear to make the Phoenix in 6.5x284 repeater. It is an awesome looking piece of equipment, but I would prefer to have a repeater in case of a bad shot or whatever. I would probably take it over the Savage 12 F class, as they are almost the same price (I found 1500 for the F and 1600 for the cooper). I would love to be able to do the work myself, but I think it would be way out of my league. I mean I can take apart and put back together M16/M4, M249, M240G, heck I even fixed the springs on a AK-47 the first time I saw one, but head spacing and barrel stuff are a whole new ball game. I would rather not risk an expensive new barrel to my inexperienced hands. The cheapest short term thing to do would definitely be the 111 LRH but I think I would be hard pressed to not try and customize it within a year or two, or at least make a custom weapon. So despite the large smith bill it may be better to just go custom from the start right? Or would it be easy enough to learn myself? I am a pretty quick learner I just don't want to mess something up and then have to pay even more to get a professional to fix it. [/QUOTE]
