Cooper has announced a light rifle today at at SHOT show. The Cooper Model 92 Ultralight, weighing in at a mere 92 ounces. I hope that this rifle was worth the wait. photo by Philip Massaro model 92 ![[Linked Image]](http://i.imgur.com/TOPR2nO.jpg)

Hopefully they will get their website expanded and updated. It could be much better for finding specs, details, etc, than the way it is set up now.

Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

It will be interesting to see how they got to 92 ounces. Obviously the bolt has been relieved of metal and the stock is new. The barrel profile doesn't seem to be extremely slender. I really hope the break is optional (being Cooper, it could be for a price, if nothing else). 5.75 lbs of Cooper goodness would be a beautiful thing.

Interesting to see who did the stock for it. They told me they are starting to make composites in house instead of using an outside source. Bell & Carlson and HS Precision did their other ones.

I'm out until they redesign the safety. Too easy to accidentally slip it off for a big game rifle IME.

That's interesting. I hope they put it on a diet. The chubby-wubby handle on the Excalibur is the only thing that's kept me from owning one.

(1)It think cooper has the worst PR on the planet. If you mean marketing, I completely agree. Internet forums and gun auction sites are best online sources of detailed info on their guns. I do like talking to them on the phone. Great guys over there. Folks seem to enjoy what they're doing. Those two M92 Backcountry light weights both seem to have detachable magazines like the M54. This is a plus as far as I'm concerned.

Every time I call, my call starts and ends with a female and she is nice, but ignorant about rifle geekery. It is just stupid that there is no information about this new rifle other than customer photos from the shot show. Dear Cooper ... we love you man ... give us some info ...

Really, I usually get this guy who was originally from MA. I can't remember his name it's on my desk. I've also talked to Shirley, she handles logistics, shipping, etc.
