Read a review of the Excalibur today and the author mentioned Cooper is coming out with an "ultralight" rifle late this year. Anyone know anything?
Hopefully they make it in Lefty
Called Cooper, spoke to a friendly sales rep. He said it will be a model 52 action scaled down to reduce weight, lighter fiberglass stock, lighter thinner barrel. About 6 pounds total. Expect they will be available starting in mid 2016.
Damn! This is what i have been waiting for, the only real knock I had with the Cooper Excalibur long action rifles is there weight, the short action Excalibur rifle is not bad at 6.5 lb but a 6.5 lb .300 Win Mag would be perfect...........Hb
Well, that shoots any hopes for a lefty version.
I talked to Cooper about this and they blame Bell & Carlson for not making lefty stock molds. Talked to B&C and they blamed Cooper for not ever ordering or pursuing the idea of left hand versions of their stocks. Cooper did admit it would be a large initial investment, so that pretty much explains it.
Heck, Cooper ought to talk to Tom Manners.
This sounds really good to me.
What are they going to do with all them 7 1/2 lbs. Cooper 52's?
they never seem to have a problem selling them bro. Wouldn't it be nice if Cooper got together with the new versions of High Tech Stocks.....

There are probably more people who desire a 7 1/2 lb M52 than a 6 lb version of the same.
