I've had 7 kimbers and 7 coopers all of them shot very well, the coopers not being as picky. I like both, no experience with noslers but kimber and cooper fill different tasks for me. I carry the kimbers and shoot the coopers. My p-dog rifles are coopers and will shoot .1's all of the time 5 shot groups. the kimbers all have shot less than 1" groups . Light and fast goes to kimber, accurate and beautiful goes to cooper. YVMV. My cooper classic in 257R M54 the first one in that cartridge they built, weighes 8# even with a 2.5x8 leupold and talley 1 pc. mts. and rings, shoots less than .5 groups.and is beautiful.
