I just joined after coming here to read up on these rifles. I'll usually take a flyer on a new rifle at the $1500 price but think now I'll buy another Cooper and sit this one out. A few of us that hunt a lot on Snipershide were all set to jump on these as the dealers, most who are pretty reliable here in Colorado, were pretty high on these. Glad I found the site, can't believe I didn't know about this forum.
Thanks,
