If you associate quality with cost, then Cooper products are some of the best. I shot a Cooper .308 at a range years ago (4x) as offered by the owner sitting at the bench next to me. The gentleman was having zeroing problems, he saw my target and assumed that I was a decent shot - asked for help. I shot three rounds that (I remember) hit high and left, adjusted his scope - the fourth round hit at (about) 2 o’clock in the “X” ring - he was good to go. He again began shooting and was all over the target - him not the rifle. As for the rifle, he told me what was paid (I do not remember the $) and I thought that was a lot for what appeared to be an unremarkable rifle. It shot well enough but the wood looked very average to me for the high cost. Well, that is all I can remember about my exposure to my first and only Cooper rifle. Good luck with your choice.
