When I called Cooper, they said it was, in their opinion, nearly exhibition grade. Oh, and I've already put a scratch on it. [Linked Image]

At first glance it looks like a laminated stock. Then you look again. Nice stock! Bruce

Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I took the NF 2.5-10x32 Compact off and mounted this VX3 1.5-5x20 in S&K Sculptured bases/rings. With Win CB Long Match loads it quite the cherry eatin bird killer. Alan [Linked Image]
