I just was looking through a magazine and seen an ad for these rifles they have a web site and the guns are pretty high priced. Just wondering if anyone here has ever tried one out. They say they are all American made. Thanks
 
They are a good high quality rifle. I have two. one is 221 fireball, and tactical 20. Both shoot really good. Both of mine have VERY nice wood. They only come in single shot. I like that because it makes the action stiffer and on the average shoot better. If you buy one, you won't be sorry.
 
IMHO, Coopers are probably one of the best buys in a semi-custom rifle around today.

They are tremendous shooters, they look good, and the overall quality is top notch. And, if you should ever need it, customer service/assistance is excellent.....

I have 2 a 243 AI and a 223 AI and they both are very accurate. I would recommend them to anyone. Every time I am at the range someone stops and asks about them and wants to shoot them, not what I bought them for, but they are attention getters.
 
My uncle bought one (in 204 ruger) after hearing about their reputation. He liked it so much he bought another in 25 WSSM. After working up some loads for each, he quickly decided that he wanted to start shooting bench rest competitions. They are that good. He has been handloading and shooting for many many years. He entered his first bench rest comp. about 4 or 5 monthes after he bought a Cooper. I don't have one yet.....I stress the word "yet".
 
Thanks guys I hade never heard of them I don't stay on top of things like that too much. Sounds like they have a really good product. Would yall prefer on of theirs over a browning or CZ. Thanks
 
I use to sell Coopers and you can not go wrong with the quality and customer support. I dont know if they still do but they use to send a target along with each gun to show how it groups.
 
robert, i have three cooper mod 21 classics in 204,221 fb, 17m4. one thing to relize is that they are single shot. all mine have leo 6.5 x 20 40 ao mounted on them. i am very pleased with all. bob kudile
 
+1 on the cooper. I got one in 22-250 after a friend suggested them. After 800 rds it still shoots 1.25" 3 shot groups at 300 yds.

Robert:

I own all three of the makes of rifles you mentioned, so hopefully I'm not personally trying to cast dispersion on another guy's rifle when I say this:

1. A Cooper is an extremely well-made semi-custom single shot rifle in all of the configurations Cooper offers, whether varmint or sporting.

2. Browning and CZ are factory grade repeating rifles.

You might get lucky and walk into Gander Mountain and buy a Browning or a CZ that will shoot as good as your neighbor's Cooper, but I seriously doubt your neighbor bought his Cooper off the rack new at Gander Mountain. And, in the rare instance where his Cooper did not shoot to his total satisfaction, new or used, the folks at Cooper will personally do just about anything to make the customer happpy.

In short, Coopers are not just a standard factory rifle like you find in most places where guns are sold. To illustrate my point, Cooper has only 8 authorized dealers in the entire state of Texas.

HTH - without bringing the wrath of God (in the form of 30K other Browning/CZ owners) down around my neck for saying Coopers are "just a little better" than their, and my, factory rifles. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif
