2011 Gopher Getter. 14 Months in the Making.

[Bull's-Eye]

A big thanks to Clay at Prophet River. Rifle turned out better then imagined.
I especially like the high polished barrel with matte left in the flutes.

That is one beautiful piece sir!

I've got wood.......

Congrats!

Another gorgeous rifle. Personally I would have skipped the engraving and added inlaid swivel studs. Love the skeletonized grip cap/buttplate and wood though.

f*ck yeah, love it!

Cooper did the work. Clay was the dealer who I ordered it through.

Beautiful, well done up, from real wood and steel, congrats, that's how rifles should be made!!

Borderline too pretty to shoot. That's a large investment in HMR, but the finished product is outstanding.

 

[bellero]

WOW!! That's what I call a rifle. Congrats

If this is your gopher rifle, I can't wait to see what's your deer and/or moose rifle(s)!!

 

[firemachine69]

Clearly, that rifle is in need of a full-grip rail...

Bull's-Eye how many months from order to delivery on your Custom Cooper 57M? I ask as I want to order a full custom classic 57M in 22lr from Clay. That gun will always be worth more than you payed for it, great workmanship! Cooper is doing what Winchester use to do, in that you can pretty much order the exact rifle you want! There is no one else who offers such freedom in ordering a custom shop gun, and are real easy on the eye's!great gun I hope you and the gophers have fun togehter,haha, cheers Dale Z in T-Bay!

Thanks Dale. Ordered Nov/Dec 2009 and delivered last Wednesday, January 26. It was about a 14 month wait. Tough but well worth it.
