You sorry SOB's have that little bug gnawing at me with all this talk about the Cooper rifle. I have to ask, what does the Cooper rifle offer that the Tikka does not? Sounds like they are both accurate as all get out, and after that, what else really matters?
(I am trying to talk myself out of one of these...please HELP!!!)

If you don't know what else really matters, stick with the Tikka.
It's the perfect rifle for you.

+1 I have not owned either, but if I had the bucks already in hand, you can bet I would buy the Cooper!

I have a better idea - spend what you were prepared to spend on the Cooper - and get a Sako - and maybe have enough left over for a fine scope.

Sorry to break it to you, but a Cooper Jackson Hunter with synthetic stock costs very little more than a Sako Finnlite, and comes with a stock you don't immediately want to replace. Of course if you want nice wood, you pay a little more, but then there is truly no comparison. Then there's the Cooper 1/2" accuracy guarantee. IIRC Sako only guarantees 1". _

We carry rifles in the field alot more then we shoot them, so to me it better be pretty to look at. If I'm not mistaken you are trying to thin the herd and get down to one rifle, why not have that rifle be the best you can afford..as said, listen to the voices and ....get the cooper, cooper, cooper

+1 I have not owned either, but if I had the bucks already in hand, you can bet I would buy the Cooper! Not me. I would take the Tikka......then take the rest of the $ and get tags, airfare and so on and go on a great hunt. Critter wont know the difference between the two.

Damn! I'm currently salivating pretty bad over here, too. I had to just checkout the Cooper website again (I've been on there before, also). So, when considering the model 52, what's the difference between the Classic version and the Jackson Game version? They are stated to only be $100 in difference of price. Anyone have any pics of the Jackson? Cooper's website is not very generous as far as pics are concerned. Thanks...
