Big News from Cooper!

[SakoAlberta]

Just found out a few minutes ago that Cooper will now take orders for its newest action. Its called the M54 and its the long awaited short action repeater. Its available in 22/250, 243, 7/08, 308, 260 Rem, 338 fed. Its in the classic, custom classic, and western classic. Pricing will be the same as for M52's.

A lightweight stainless would be nice...

 

[JDL]

Just what are they estimated to weigh?

 

[LittleBoyLefty]

Lh?

 

[SuperCub]

Lh?

I doubt it. They DO have standards afterall.

Should be LH ones-but i'll have to confirm with them on that. weight will be 6.25 lbs.

LMAO. Great the more Coopers the better Clay can torment us with pictures of gorgeous rifles

 

[jimmyjazz]

They sure are well made.

i'm going to buy a Cooper soon (just a heads up SakoAlberta) but something that bugs me about manufacturers (Remington and Cooper at least) is that they call their action based on 308 size cartridges "short"
if they really wanted to turn my crank they would make an action based on 223 length cartidges SHORT
308= medium
30.06=long

and what the heck 338 Lapua/RUM= extra long

A .260 would be sweet, now to start saving. No chance of a poor students discount I guess.

I am just relieved that you didn't announce that they had a stainless 52 action ready to go,I have already bought two Coopers from you this year,and my budget is shot for this year.

LOL, funny thing is, that might be next!!

As far as the length of actions go, i agree, the 308 is not really short but do keep in mind that cooper makes at least three actions short than the new M54.

Wait until I get a few more pics done. I've got a 25/05 AI in a custom classic with AAA+ sitting here that is really almost too pretty .

 

[ILoveBigRacks]

No news if it'll be offered in synthetic - Excaliber or Jackson Hunter? I love a nice piece of lumber but am paranoid to take them into the field.

Oh no. You and yours are beginning to annoy me with your overly appealing stock. Errrrr.

Thank god its a 25/05AI and not a 25-06AI cause I'd have to put a deposit on it then

LOL, yeah well, anybody can get a 25/06 AI; know anybody else with a 25/05 AI?

Seriously though, it is gorgeuos. I'll try to post up pics on Tuesday.

I just had a brainwave and now can begin scheming, and my philosophical side is really helping me out.

A .308 is a short action, a .30-06 a standard, and .375 H&H et al. a magnum/large. Super short actions, are the .223 sized, as in the CZ 527.

 

[SakoAlberta]

Should have them built in late Jan or early Feb. I'll have them here sometime in Feb, most likely.
