So, are you saying that if they would have changed the name of the company that you would buy one??

So you're sticking it to him by refusing to buy a rifle from a company that doesn't affect his life in the least little way? You're taking a stand against a company that ousted him for the Obama campaign contribution? You can't get past the name? I'm at a loss.

Geez, maybe we shouldn't by Beretta, Walther, or others manufactured by Germany, Italy, or Japan and other "evil" countries of the past. Let go, man.

That ole Dan Cooper issue has been beat into the ground too many times to count.

Cooper Rifles is not Dan Cooper.

I'm assuming three lug Coopers have a 60* bolt lift. There isn't much technical info on their web site. A shorter arc doing the same work (cocking the striker) takes more effort.

On the other hand, the Wby MkV has a 60*, short bolt lift, is super smooth, slick and fast cycling.

It's usually a sour grapes excuse more than anything. The same people would have never bought one anyhow.

I have a lefty 54 and a 52, and they are both great. Would love to have a lefty synthetic Cooper, but neither they nor Bell and Carlson listen to my suggestions of starting LH stocks.

I'm picking up my first Cooper tomorrow, a 52 classic in uber gay 270. I hope it doesn't suck.

Why yes it is

(56 actually)

I've only owned one Cooper "repeater"



a model 52 Jackson Game Rifle. It was chambered for the 25-06 Rem. IIRC.


However,





it did shoot "minute of white-tail" out far enough.

Now the models 21, 22, & 38, that's a different story.

Cooper Model 22, Varmint Extreme, 308 Winchester,

You nailed it totally.

anywho,

where else can one find factory rifles, pre-enjoyed at a price of 13 Benjamins or less, that have excellent fit, and finish, great triggers and can be had in most cases a half dozen chamberings in 17, 19, 20,22,24,25, 26 and 28 cals.

Just sayin'

I can afford one but can't bring myself to buy one. In my opinion Cooper did not get to keep the name for free. Somehow, someway Dan Cooper is still getting paid for his name.

I know if makes everyone feel warm and fuzzy to think they ain't supporting that piece of poop but I bet if you could get into the company records he's still getting paid.

I will keep buying Sako's.

Sounds like a plan to me.
