[QUOTE="352mattf, post: 1222559, member: 71570"] I have known Smoak for many years and I also own a couple coopers. A mtv m52 270 Win and a Phoenix m22 243 win. We coordinate range trips often and enjoy hunting as well as bench shooting. He has put his situation quite mildly. His 7mm cooper shipped to him brand new with a bolt that would barely close. When a round was inserted into the chamber it absolutely would not close. Cooper refaced the bolt and sent it back to him with a large chunk missing from the crown. He then sent it back in and they returned it with a new crown. These issues were taken care of in a timely fashion but you have to ask yourself how either could take place. Watching him go through his latest problem on his newest Cooper gives me serious doubts as to what's going on up there. The guy purchased his 300 wby and almost 2 years later (build time + 1 year of service work) he had an employee tell him they can't find his rifle. I say all of this never personally experiencing even the slightest dissatisfaction with either of my rifles. Both shoot in the neighborhood of .25 inches at 100 yds and function flawlessly. I'd like to believe this is an isolated incident but when someone purchases 3 rifles and two have major issues its hard to maintain that theory. I did fail to mention that his 1st cooper (25-06 Excalibur) had its extractor fail on our first range trip with it. This in my opinion could happen to any firearm and was fixed immediately by cooper. I have experience with basically every major factory rifle manufacturer and a handful of rifles built for me by gunsmiths. I still maintain that my Cooper rifles are some of the finest rifles I've ever been around. I wear my Cooper badge with pride but eagerly await witnessing Coopers solution to his current problem.
