Just got back from the range after sighting in my seventh Cooper. I've always been able to get groups comparable to the Cooper test target and, easily, groups more than good enough for any big game hunting. They aren't perfect rifles, but they are darn good! They're somewhat heavy and I am not sold on the detachable magazine. I had one (an Excalibur in 25-06) that had some trigger creep. Cooper paid shipping and had the rifle back in my hands in about two weeks, as I recall. Whenever I've had a question, I was always able to speak to someone-on the first phone call- that could help me.
