Hi Clay,

Any word on the stainless actions yet? I was waiting for them to come out with Magnum actions. Now, all I'm waiting for is the stainless actions and I'm finally getting a Cooper.

 

[Dogleg]

Finally! I've been waiting since the singleshot days for them to make a rifle I wanted in a caliber I want.

I can hear a 7mmstw calling out for me.Hopefully.the barrels will be 26".

Anything you want for barrel up to 26.5", however, no S/S action yet. Likely next on the list....

Kudos for the .300 H&H chambering! Or did I mean Kudus?

 

[spooksar]

There's 4 calibers I don't have and I like Cooper rifles may have to put some money aside. The 8MM and the 300 H&H for sure.

Are Coopers available in Left Hand in these models?

.300 h&h

Its nice to see another factory offering in the grand old .300 Holland

 

[JasonS]

.308 Norma and no American born 300 RUM? Hmmm

 

[jtoews80]

No 358 Norma, darn it.

 

[blargon]

I would have thought a .375H&H would out-sell a .308Norma...

Pity...Thanks!

How about one of those Five awesome Weatherby Cartridges that cooper will be chambering?? 300 Wby Mag??

However a 7mm STW 26.5" Barrel,cooper custom classic,does sound Very Nice!

The 257wby is the only one that I would own.I am going to wait and see the max COL that the magazine will allow and the barrel contour before deciding on a 7mmstw.Then again,I will likely wait for the stainless action.

We need a 358 WSM...
