I've also shot the barrels out of three and had them put new tubes on them. Cheaper than my rifle smith and the accuracy guaranty was the same as a new rifle. I bet the new company won't do that. It was fun to go to the factory and talk with the people. Picke out my own wood on 2. Laura even upgraded me from AA+ to triple A when I was there one day. That was a fun time going thru blanks of the AAA. She didn't like the selection of AA+ that they had.

Cooper restocked a Varmint Extreme in 223 for me at no charge and they upgraded the wood. I have recently bought to Custom Classics a 22 Mag and 17 HMR. The wood on both is very nice and the little bug hole groups make me smile but the Squirrels hate them.

Shortmag, if you want a Cooper, get one. Life moves and we can't know what the future will hold. Trying to determine what Cooper will be like after the move to AR is a fools errand. There are several guys on this thread whom I have respect for who are giving you good advice. When I find a LH that matches what I'm looking for, I'm buying it.


There are 2 rules to success:

1. Never tell everything that you know.

Notice how your "critique",makes less than zero fhuqks? Pardon my knowing the way around a rifle,as you flounder in your Dumbfhuqktitude. Hint.

Bless your heart.

Hint.

Nighthawk is a quality company. Friend’s grandson fits 1911’s for them in AR.

Don’t know about their new Cooper price point, but I would think quality would be maintained.

Time will tell. I’m optimistic.

The company my uncle works for in AR does heat treatment for Sig, Wilson Combat, Nighthawk and several other small gun companies in Arkansas I had never heard of.
Maybe them purchasing Cooper will increase their workload, as he said work they do for Nighthawk is very small compared to Sig and Wilson Combat.

Ladies,

I'd not begin to slight how very WELL founded,your copious Insecurities are. Hint.

Pardon mount/rings and optics mattering more than a smidge,as you gals rent fences to hop,for your "harrowing" "Adventures". If you were spun in a circle inside a phone booth,you'd have to dial 911,for directions on where to find the door to exit. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!............

I own an Excalibur 52 in 30-06, it shoots very good. What I don't like about it is it's heavy, stock is thick, the magazine rattles and the safety sucks. Have you seen the prices of Coopers on GunBroker? For the money I would have Alamo Precision build you a Maverick rifle for $3200, my 300 Weatherby shoots lights out!
