Yeah, the 54 is a short action, lighter weight gun. As I recall, the catalog weight on them is 6.5 lbs. I've owned NULAs and- for me- they were too light. Most of the Coopers I've bought have been the long action model 52 in the Excalibur and Jackson Hunter versions which catalog at 7.5- 7.75 pounds. I like the ability to buy an over the counter rifle that doesn't require a visit to the gunsmith to get it bedded, have a trigger job or work to get it to feed. And, with the exception of the one trigger, Cooper has delivered that.I think you would enjoy it, and if you have any customer service issues you should be confident Cooper will address your concern.
