Shirley should not be giving out gunsmithing advice like she did to my bud one time.

Sounds good. Never jumped on the Cooper wagon for reasons mentioned before. Chubby handle and weight...

The model 92 Backcountry rifle is one of the newest offerings from Cooper Firearms. It features a lightweight action weighing only 11 ounces, and a lightweight stock weighing just 20 ounces, both of which are manufactured by Cooper. With careful selection of materials, we’ve been able to produce an ultra light rifle capable of chambering belted magnum calibers that weighs just 5.75 pounds, or 92 ounces, serving as its namesake. Jewell triggers were chosen for this rifle, as we feel they offer the most adjustability and well, it’s the best trigger you can put on a rifle. Sporting a 24 inch light contour fluted barrel, the rifle balances nicely. At the end of the barrel is a Cooper-designed muzzle brake that tames recoil amazingly. This rifle features a three round detachable magazine and a 7075 aluminum trigger guard to reduce weight further. In addition to being incredibly light, the Backcountry rifle comes standard with an all-stainless steel action to resist even the nastiest of weather. Traditional chromoly is also available upon request. All calibers in the 30-06 family as well as belted magnum family are available up to .338 caliber, as well as the 6.5x284 Norma. Lastly, this rifle will carry the same accuracy guarantee as all Cooper centerfire rifles up to .338 caliber, which is ½ MOA at 100 yards.
M92 Backcountry • lightweight Cooper model 92 action • Jewell trigger • 24” fluted barrel with muzzlebrake • Detachable three round magazine • Advanced composite lightweight Cooper stock • all-stainless steel action (chromoly available on request) • all standard long action and belted magnum (up to 338 caliber) calibers available • 5.75 lbs • ½ MOA accuracy guarantee

.... It features a lightweight action weighing only 11 ounces, and a lightweight stock weighing just 20 ounces, Guessing that action weight is sans bolt, mag, trigger, and trigger guard...

That raises the question again about their stocks. One member here called them a few weeks ago and they said they did not plan to have the in house production of composite stocks started anytime in the near future. And, now they announce that they are in fact making the stock for this gun.
They are a really weird company when it comes to new models, and introductions of new models.
Several years ago they "introduced" a beltless magnum gun in calibers such as 300 RUM, etc. That one never saw the light of day.
Once they get production going on a gun, it seems to run smoothly, it's just getting it to that point.

Never understand the desire to try to make a light rifle, and then offer it in everything other than short action, saddle with a 24", heavier than needed, fluted barrel with muzzle brake....plus a detachable mag to add a bit more weight.
Regardless of what people think of Kimber...the 84M Montana is what companies should be thinking of when they want to design a "backcountry rifle". But hey, nobody asked me.

Forbes and Kimber did the template right with the 20B and 84M. Several specifics could be changed, but the overall light short action, light/stiff/blind mag stock, and sporter or less contour at 21-22" is the foundation.

• Jewell trigger = that's pretty much all I saw at first glance.
To my mind, being able to carry a long action on long demanding hikes and then connecting at ranges unknown in high wind is what the goal is. Now ... if I can get those cross hairs and my breathing to settle down.
