Any of you fellas have or had one? The accuracy looks interesting but I have heard things about them.

COOPER RIFLES ARE VERY NICE! WELL BUILT, AND USUALLY VERY ACCURATE. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS EXCELLENT AS WELL! FOR JUST OVER $1000 YOU GET A NICE RIFLE, IF YOU COMPAIR IT TO RIFLES IN THE $650 TO $850 RANGE, I THINK YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. THEY ARE A BIT NICER THAN MOST RUGERS, REMINGTON, WINCHESTER, CZ, TIKKA,SAVAGE, AND OTHER PRODUCTION GUNS.
THEY ONLY MAKE SINGLE SHOTS, IN CENTERFIRE! THE RIMFIRE IS A REPEATER. OTHER THAN A 22-250 AI. THAT HAD SO SO ACCURACY, I HAVE BEEN VERY HAPPY WITH MINE. GOOD LUCK!

ONE MORE THING I WILL ADD, THE TEST TARGETS THAT COME WITH EACH RIFLE, LOOK GREAT! BUT ARE NOT SHOT AT 100 YARDS!! IT'S MORE LIKE (48 YARDS) I WAS GIVEN THIS INFO FROM AN EMPLOYEE AT COOPER ARMS.
I'M NOT SAYING THEY DONT SHOOT! BUT I FIND THIS A LITTLE SHADY. AS MOST PEOPLE TEST THERE GUNS AT 100 YARDS. AND ONE WOULD ASSUME THAT WHEN GIVEN A TEST TARGET, IT WAS SHOT AT THAT STANDARD 100 YARDS.

Good lookin' but kinda pricey. Maybe CZ'd be a better place to get a mini mauser. :roll:

That is very interesting about the test target. That is misleading. The target is the main reason for the interest in these rifles. I still can't make up my mind.

I picked up a Cooper last year in 22 Hornet and it was a great shooter. Best 5 shot group I got out of the Hornet was in the .5's @ 100yds. We have afew guys in out gun club with Coopers in 223 and 6ppc and like mine they shoot small groups @ 100yds. I know the test target are shot at 50 or so yds. Well good luck.

If you will check their website, they are very specific. ONLY the 22 Hornet family of cartridges are tested at 50 yds. The rest of them are tested at 100 yds. The company is very straightfoward and they make a great firearm.
