[QUOTE="ramrod79, post: 1070475, member: 58107"] I have owned a couple Coopers now and for the money I am really not that impressed I could build a custom to my specs for the same money ( I am in Canada 3200 for an Excalibur now ) . I find they are really heavy and both rifles the barrels fowled really easy ( accuracy fell off after 20-30 rounds). Don't get me wrong they are nice outfits but both of mine have been sold due to a few different reasons one major reason was the clips I could not seat bullets to lands due this. My buddy picked up a 6.5 284 in a Savage LRH a year ago ,and recently bought a 7mag the 6.5 will shoot .5MOA at 1000yards and so far the 7 Mag will shoot a 3 inch group at 500 yards they are the same weight as a Cooper but way less money . I think if I had a choice between the Savage LRH , ( Sako witch I have never been fond of) or the Cooper I would buy the Savage and buy really good glass with my saved money . OR look on the forum for a custom 7 Mag . Just on a side note my Cooper M52 did not like 168 VLDS I had to go to the Classic Hunter version ,and the best I could get 180s to shoot were 1 MOA with many different combos powder primers at 1000 with the 168 I could shoot a 7-10 inch group depending on day and the 180s I could not do any better than 12inch I am not sure what anyone else will say but I also found their barrels slower than many other custom barrels I have used in past . Just some food for thought . [/QUOTE]
