You know your economic situation better than anybody else. So that is your business.
However to your question. Yes-by all means. I would gladly sell two or three or four rifles that I thought were inferior if I could afford to upgrade to one fine piece of craftsmanship. I have done the exact same thing.
I know a guy who has 25 sub $200 muzzle loaders. And all he talks about is a custom built flint lock. I just shake my head. I would sell off as many of his 25 rifles that I had to in order to get the money for that one rifle.
The only flaw in your idea is that in order to get nice wood in a Cooper it is going to cost more than $2,000. They have lowered the quality of their wood, and raised the price.
Do you like single shot rifles?? There are some nice single shots out there. I really like the #1's. I am also a lefty. But I like the single shots.
Selling to upgrade is not a bad idea IMO. I have certainly done it. In rifles and optics. Tom.
