Bayou, Cooper does make a "Scheels Varminter" exclusively for Scheels, but Scheels also carries the entire Cooper line, including MTV, Phoenix, VT, Jacksons, and the new Laminated stock Varminter.
The Scheels Varminter is basically a standard Varminter with the Buick holes. AA+, instead of the AAA walnut that the Montana wears.
For the $$, the Cooper rifles are still the best bang for your buck!
I understand....I tried to say that with the use of the word "generally", but guess I didn't explain myself very well.
I have a friend who went into a Scheels store last summer while up north PD shooting and bought a Cooper. He didn't pay attention or notice the serial number prefix and bought the rifle thinking he had bought a MTV.
It was only after he arrived back home that he realized he had bough a Scheels varient and not a normal cataloged Cooper MTV. He likes the rifle but is still a little bummed by the fact he realy didn't fully get what he thought he was getting at the time.
I guess I should have stated to check the serial number on a Cooper found in a Scheels store as it may not be exactly what it appears to be from a cosmetic point of view if you've been looking at the Cooper web site.
He is very happy with the accuracy of the rifle.
