looks like you have created a "new job" opening for Cooper.
I do wish there was a place here where I could handle both rifles.
Personally, I like the EXCALIBUR

A no-brainer!
Get the Cooper 'Excalibur'. I have one in 338/06 that has put down a bull and a cow, 1 shot each.
With the Cooper, accuracy will not be a question. Mine shoots easily into 1/2" at 100 yards. +1 ![[Linked Image]](http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1169/piggy025d.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/2989/porkeri.jpg) Factory Target ![[Linked Image]](http://img534.imageshack.us/img534/2948/coopergroup.jpg) My 100yd Target ![[Linked Image]](http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/7263/33806002.jpg) That is some good shooting there! I doubt I'll be that good of a shot with the rifle but at least I know the lack in potential is mine.

One thing you must know now that you have read three pages on Cooper ownership...it is really hard to have ONE Cooper rifle..looking for number four here and that may lead to number five...

What I have for my build so far is a M70 FWT in .30-06, a McMillan Hunters Edge stock, and PT&G M70 bottom metal.
You've got some good components there, I'd likely finish the build. That and I'm not a fan of B&C stocks, which Cooper uses...

I kind of like the B&C stocks. I have at least four, and they have all given good service. I like both the Excalibur and the Jackson Hunter. You need to shoulder both and see which one feels best. I went with a Jackson Hunter, I kind of liked the the feel of it.

The B&C stocks are fine the Winchester Extreme Weather I have fits me good. There are some McMillan snobs around. I own two myself, great stocks but not the only stock.

Just not a fan of one size fits all stocks. Some of us aren't average builds and I like options. If I was shelling out the $$ for a Cooper, it would have wood...
