So I was at Sportsmans Warehouse with idea I would play with some Savage rifles. I had already played with some at another shop and found a 22-250 model 12 VLP that I liked very much. I am/was very tempted to get it.
Anyways, I am at Sportsmans, and I just notice really nice stock with the buick vents and I am like, oh thats nice. Then I look her up and down and go..."Are you F-ing kidding me?!?!?!"
Ya, a chain store like Sportsmans just started to carry Cooper rifles.
So I play with both of them (a 204 Varminter and a 223 Montana Varminter).
Needless to say after I tried to pick up a Savage, or a Ruger, or a Remington, or a Kimber, or a few others, they never felt quit that 'solid' as they did before.
The worksmanship on these Coopers was just unbelievable. The Wood on the forarm were it follows the barrel was straight. Not 'kinda straight' or 'eh, thats good enough'.
The operation of the bolt was just like magic.
I am sold. As soon as I unload my Ruger No. 1 I am getting one of them.
I really want a .204, but its just a Varminter and not a Montana Varminter. Although, the Varminter didn't look half bad, infact it really grew on me. The website picture wasn't as nice as the actual gun.
So if you are still reading I have a question.
What are some of the cons of Cooper Firearms of Montana? Are there any? What about barrel life. Savage used 'button something'....are these the other type that last a long time?
What about a 22-250? How long of life should I get from that if I went that route?
