I am curious if there are others in this thread that have Cooper Rifles, specifically the early Model 52s and 22s that were made early on in 30/06 and in 308 Winchester. I am wondering if they used a tight match reamer and minimized freebore in their actions. They are tight actions and shoot extremely tight groups in 270 Winchester and 30/06. Strangely some people complain about the accuracy of 7 Rem Mag Coopers. They say that they are accurate but not dead nuts accurate.
It is also interesting to me that the 222 would be considered very inherently accurate when it is a complete mini-me copy of the 30/06.
