I typed this out with my thumbs once, then lost it somehow. OK, round two.
I've got a couple, a 30-06 in a Classic and a Western Classic in 7mm STW. The 30-06 has a bit better wood than would be expected on the plainest grade. There were a couple or three 30-06s there and I picked it by the wood. Trigger is great, fitting better than decent and they come bedded or at least half bedded. It will produce the odd 1/2" group, but to say its a 1/2" rifle with anything would require a special tint of rose coloured glasses. It does shoot well enough for anything I'll use a 30-06 for though, and being burn yourself hot doesn't seem to bother it much. The three shot mag is a bit of a pig. Cartridges have to practically bend their way out of the feed lips. If I load the clip (I said clip sue me
) to capacity and also load the chamber it practically takes a come along to pull the bolt back and I can count on the ejected case falling out of the extractor and jamming up the works. I actually got quite adept at plucking out the empty with my little finger and keeping on shooting before deciding it wasn't worth it. Just dragging it open from a empty chamber with a full mag will make you wonder. There was a weird glitch in extraction right between lifting the bolt and pulling it back, but more on that later. Rifle weighs something over 9 pounds with a Leupold 3.5-10 on it. Safety is a miniscule little thing. At the time it cost a couple or 300 bucks more than a Sako which was probably worth it for a 30-06 sized cartridge. The 56 wasn't out yet so the cartridges I really like weren't in the cards. Still bugs me that nobody makes an extended mag for it.
Next up was the Western Classic STW. It has plainer wood than you would expect for expect for 4400, and after waiting 18 months they built it with the wrong barrel length. Looks pretty cool with Turnbull colour case hardening and octagonal barrel. I don't know how many lines per inch the checkering is but it is flawless and the wood is dense enough to support it.That it is inletted round for a 8 sided barrel seems sort of hokey at that price. Trigger is great , magazine is the same as the 30-06. Same glitches and binding if I try to make it more than a three shooter. Those are the good parts, and are sort of what you see is what you get. Gets worse from there. Extraction was very difficult with anything other than powder-puff loads. Bolt lifted normally, then it was a tugawar to get the bolt to move rearward. Extracted casings looked like the chamber was threaded, never mind polished. Talked back and forth with Cooper about that and the wrong barrel length. They weren't much help with the extraction, although of course sending it back to the states was an option.I might even get to see it again in a year What I got regarding the barrel length was it was only the first barrel and it could be rectified on the second barrel. You know those rumours about Cooper rebarrelling shot out barrels for nothing? Apparently they're true. Good to know, but not much help getting the bolt open. They did give me the go ahead to work on it locally without washing their hands of the matter. Since sending it back is a drawn out affair I first got my gunsmith to polish the chamber but that didn't do anything. After a lot of solitary brooding and muttering I eventually figured out that the binding was noticeable even with an unfired case. After that it was easy enough to figure out that when a cartridge was fired it expanded enough to force the extractor against the inside of the receiver ring and what seemed like sticky extraction was in fact steel on steel interference. Back to the gunsmith to a second opinion and to avoid any redneck with a grinder imagery. A few minutes later and a couple grind and check tries later and we had it running smooth. After checking it out thoroughly and eventually getting the loads up where they belonged things were looking better. Enough improvement that I decided that I am in fact a redneck with several grinders and fixed the other one too. It shoots well enough now and I'll eventually warm up to it again. Fun for ringing steel at 650 yards. I've got a commercial loader's box of SMKs to make sure that second barrel gets put on sooner rather than later. That'll give me a mission for this spring and summer.
One other thing that bugs me is there is no way on God's green earth that any test target ever got shot with that rifle. I don't care if they put 10 test targets in the box, nobody shot that thing with the loads they claim unless they think that doing chin-ups on the bolt handle was normal. Never happened.
That rifle weighs 10 pounds with a 4.5-14 Leupold CDS and Talley rings. Was it worth the price if there was nothing wrong with it? Probably not. At that time there was 1000 bucks tariff just for the magnum action so probably not on that alone. Colour case hardening, XX Claro, mirror blueing and fine checkering are worth whatever value you put on them. With the benefit of hindsight its not enough for me, but I've got it now.
I haven't even taken delivery yet of the Rizzini Trap Combo I ordered last fall and already I have two more purchases in mind?!
