Cooper Question

I'm looking for someone in western Nova Scotia who owns a Cooper Excalibur, Jackson Hunter or both. I am considering purchasing one but would actually like to handle one before committing.

I sold my cooper what's with no stainless and only single shot. Bought a sako instead

Cooper has offered repeaters for a while as well as stainless barrels. I know because I have one. They are now offering magnum actions and a stainless action will be available soon as well. Coopers are fine, accurate rifles. Weather you like them or not is your choice.

Well, Clay sent me a Jackson Hunter M54 to handle so here are my thoughts:

First the good: the rifle is awesome. I don't find it overly heavy. It balances nice and fits me well. Having relatively short arms the LOP, at 13.75", is a bit too long. The action is super smooth.

What I didn't like is minor. When free floating the barrel too much gap is left between the barrel and the stock for my liking. This is always a pet peeve of mine. The gap is even on both sides however, which is a good thing. I point this out because this is one of the first things I check on a rifle. The only other thing I don't like is the rear sling swivel isn't set quite deep enough in the stock but that's a minor issue.

These things are based on my opinion without having a scope attached or having the opportunity to shoot the rifle. I'll post those thoughts once mine arrives. Yes, I placed my order with Clay.

Just wait till you shoot little tiny groups with it...then you'll really like it!:dancingbanana:Congrats on the purchase.

Do they have repeaters in .204 Ruger? So far no stainless action. If they come out with a stainless repeater with a detachable mag in .204 or 17HH or 17 fireball I will buy another.
