[QUOTE="YZ-80, post: 1675960, member: 109229"] I have 3 Cooper rifles and I really like them. One in particular is a Custom Classic in .243. I opted for a 24” fluted high polished stainless barrel on it with AAA+ walnut. This might not be the caliber for you. But they can be had in other short actions that would suit your needs and still be around 7 lbs. If the OP wants a nice rig, he need not look any further. I’ll add that I had a conversation with a dealer a few months ago and he indicated to me that the nice wood rifles seem to have entered a “soft” market, which may come as no surprise to many here. Seems, (he said) no one really wants wood stocks anymore. That might mean that you can pick up a very clean one used at a great price. If you do get a Cooper new, I would advise opting for the Timney or Jewel trigger upgrade if available. Cooper triggers are generally good but can be finicky to adjust and I’ve had a couple that vary a bit more than I would like. [/QUOTE]
