[quote=Dirtfarmer]For me, it's the Cooper.
I've had Annie, 40X repeater, Win 52, Kimber, all sporters, all since gone down the road.
Still have this one, Cooper Classic with Kahles rimfire 2-7. It's a keeper.
About perfection, IMO.

I am with DF on this one, I have owned all of the above also and now my go-to is my Cooper 57M Classic.
It will take some patience and careful shopping to find one within your self-imposed limit but it can be done.
My second choice for a sporter would be an older Sako Finnfire or at a lower price level a CZ 452.
