Cooper Excaliburs

[SakoAlberta]

I was going through the new order of Coopers last night and on it were our first excaliburs. Three were orders that went out to customers so we had to open and inspect (25/05 AI, 280 AI, 338/06).
I'm a fan of great walnut and find it hard to love a plastic stock. (Although I do have one for tough hunts!)
However, these rifles are beautiful with the fluted barrel and spiral fluted bolt. What a solid feel and of, course, the test targets are spectacular. Just a really great hunting rifle. Hopefully, those clients receiving will report their thoughts once they get them. These may be the first in Canada?
Anybody coming to the Lloyd show can see one; we've got 280's and a 25/06 in stock.

Cool, what's the retail on these?

 

[SakoAlberta]

$2199
A lot of money for a rifle but a lot of rifle for the money too.

 

[blargon]

Reasonable, seeing how Rem Ti retails for $2500 now...

How much for the Jackson Hunter model, that one looks sweet...

 

[SakoAlberta]

Its somewhat cheaper-about $1999. Just had one go out in 280 AI and it was a sweet rifle.

Can't wait to see one at the Lloyd show.

Can't wait to see one at the Lloyd show.

Look forward to seeing you there, Blair! You might be taking one of these to Dryden with you?

any chance of a left hand side pic? ie. does the B&C stock have a cheekpiece?
I've searched the net and can only find a pic of the bolt side. Spectacular rifle at that price point.
Many thanks

 

[SakoAlberta]

I'll have pics up next week sometime. I'll be sure to do both sides.

 

[SakoAlberta]

BTW, we'll have at least three of them at the Lloyd gun show.

When will you have more calibres in stock?

When will you have more calibres in stock?

We'll have all available calibers in stock over the next few months but we'll have a couple of 25/06 AI coming in Feb.

Go onto Cooper arms website if you want to drool until you can actually handle one. SakoAlberta, it is rumored that Montana barreled actions will now be available as fully finished rifles. any thoughts on importing these? Any thoughts on importing just the barreled actions?

Not really looking to stock them as they don't have dealer pricing, however, we can certainly import them for clients if they wish.
