A couple of nights ago I entered into a raffle for a Cooper Long Range .28 Nosler. It was $56 bucks to enter but thought if I accidentally won it, it would be well worth the money. The stars must have been aligned right because I won that baby. I’m pretty stoked though it’s going to be a month or two before I can afford to scope it.





I’m leaning toward a Nightforce SHV 5-20x56 but have no experience with Nightforce..



Was also just wondering if there are any particulars I need to keep in mind when dealing with Coopers or the .28 Nosler as I have no experience with either of those as well.

My current Long Range set up is a Weatherby 6.5-300 with a VX3i 4.5-14 CDS.. I’m comfortable to 600 yards with that set up and don’t plan on shooting at animals much past that with this set up. I know 600 yards isn’t really long range in todays world but I want to ring steel and target shoot to 1000.

Anyhow, thanks for the advice in advance...

Very Nice. Gotta love the price.

sweet. I am hoping my daugher or I win the crossbow we bought tickets for yesterday. cant win if you dont try. congrats!

Congrats! I have 3 SHV scopes, and 5-20x56 would make that Nosler a nice addition.

Congratulations! Cooper rifles are nice pieces of equipment.

Sweet!

I have a Nightforce SHV and love it. Mine has the MOAR reticle and it is very easy to use. The clarity, even in the SHV line, has to be seen to be appreciated.

You'll have no mechanical problems hitting what you shoot at out past 1,000 yards with that rifle and scope!

Nothing wrong at that price....

Well, that sure beats a sharp stick in the eye. Congrats on your new rifle!

Man! I just won a Remington 783 scope/ combo 6.5 Creedmoor last Wednesday at a SCI banquet. I bought a $20 reverse bingo card. I couldn’t believe I won,I was so stoked! You made out a lot better than me, congratulations!

Congrats on winning a great rifle, you must be stoked! I almost never win anything, as always, I bought 10 $1.00 raffles at the Meeker sight in range to help the cause. I ended up winning a Browning A-Bolt in 243 and a 4-12 Nikon scope, I'm pretty happy.

Sweet. Like the new brake design.

Congrats !

Very nice depending on mag constraints and throating 195gr berger and R33 will be your huckleberry

Wanna double your money? I'll even pay the shipping.

DAMN! Congrats, you'll have a blast with that one.

Thanks all!

Thanks for the pics dvdegeorge! Tell me more about your setup and scope! looks awesome!I have some RL33 and a bunch of US869. The mag say “300 RUM on it so I should be good. Hopefully.

Todd

Congratulations! You won a great one!




Mine shoots!

28 Nosler built by Ryan Pierce, Kelbly Atlas Tactical, Manners EH1, Wyatt ext. box, Hawkins BDL, Bix-N-Andy TS, Kahles K525i (MSR2/Ki), APA rings shooting 195 EOLs on 86.3 gr. RE33 produce 3064f/s @ sea level.





Here’s 3 @ 751yrds. shot prone off a spike footed Evolution Bipod from a mountaintop. I took 1/10 MIL of of windage (wind L to R) after the first two shots.

How long will the magazine accommodate?

Damn right, and nice sticks DVD and Kingston.

They are pretty much twins My load is 87.5 gr RE33 Scope is a Kahles 624i

Danged fine shootin' there!!

I did some digging and it looks like that Cooper could be twisted 1:9.

You’ll need to figure out how it’s throated, twisted, and the mag’s max COAL.

I’m at a COAL of 3.7”

For the real heavyweights you’ll likely need a 1:8 twist. Check out Berger’s online stability calc.

Thanks for the info. I’m just getting tooled up. Will be a bit until I can afford the scope I want. It’s full on winter here anyhow. This will be a fun spring project. I also don’t mind the 1-9” twist. That should do fine for a lot of good bullets. I have some 165 Gamechangers and 162 ELDX’s to try..

Todd

Boy that's a hellava deal!!

Well the price was right .....

Time to buy a lotto ticket. Congratulations..

Hope you really enjoy it.. Seems George and Kingston really enjoy theirs....
