Opinions on the quality of the Cooper center fire repeaters? I have a Jackson Swuirrel Rifle .22 LR that is a tack driver and have come across a Model 54 in .250 Savage in the same configuration other than having a fluted barrel. The price is pretty good and it looks to be in excellent condition

Coopers have a well earned reputation for precision. Friend of mine has several and I watched him put 5 in one hole at 200 yards one day.
I am..........disturbed.

I'd bet money its a shooter.
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I have had quite a few, and still have 3. All shooters.
If the price is good, I am sure you will be happy,
FÜCK Jeff_O!

I have always wanted bolt action 250 Savage. I think a Cooper would be a great rifle.

I have owned model 52's in 30-06 and 25-06 plus a Jackson Squirrel Rifle in .22lr and all were extremely accurate.

I have no doubt it will shoot. I have owned a few and they all were shooters. Still own a JSR and a 17AH.

I used my Model 54 in 250-3000 at the Copper One-shot competition a few years back that was held in Maine. I had no idea what the heck I was doing as I don’t shoot bench rest stuff much so I was the only one with a sporter🥴…..still didn’t end up doing to bad overall. Mine is a shooter and every Cooper I own is also (4 .22s and 3 centerfires). Go for it pacecars you’ll be happy you did!

A great rifle in a great caliber, I doubt you will be disappointed.

I have 2 Cooper 54's currently and they will never leave me. My 257 Roberts is the most accurate rifle I have ever owned and the 6mm isnt far behind it. I would be willing to bet that 250 will be as good. No brainer to me.
