Does anyone know for sure, at what distance the factory shoots their test targets. I've heard several things, and don't know what to believe. Do they make their own bbl's.? THX HAWKSHAW

    I am looking at the Cooper Rifles, but trying to judge if I am getting additional value for the $'s spent say over a Kimber. Almost double the price for the Cooper. Can anyone help lay out the additional value with the Cooper? I know a lot is subjective - 2 position vs. 3 position safety, control round feed vs. Sako extractor. What I am looking for is there really a quality difference that will show up immediately or over time between these 2 guns? If so what are those differences?

    Anyone have any experience with Cooper rifles? If so what do you think of them? I'm thinking of buying a rifle & was thinking maybe a Sako or Cooper rifle. Thanks

    I'm going to buy a Cooper rifle - Varmint model, no "Buick" cuts and probably centerfire 22 single shot. Does anyone have experience with the Coopers and can advise good or bad about them?

    Really depends on what model you are looking at and the use. I have a Kimber 84M 7mm-08 that is a wonderful hunting rifle, my Dad liked it so much he has a Montana 7mm-08. They are acceptable accuracy wise but not great, we each got Dall sheep with them. Looking to pick up another in 338 Federal when I can afford it.

    That said, I was looking for a varmint rifle that I could shoot factory class with and will be picking up my Cooper 22 Ultra Varminter tomorrow.

    For a hunting rifle, I prefer the 3 position, bolt safety and CRF of the Kimber. For a controlled environment, ultra accurate rifle, I went with the Cooper as I believe that they are likely to be more accurate (right or wrong).

    Hope that helps.
