As the thread title asks does anyone on here own a Cooper Model 52?
If so, how do you feel about the rifles build quality, performance, reliability, and accuracy?
I am seriously considering buying one and hunting it this fall in South Dakota (where I live) and in northern Minnesota for deer. Luckily I live only 50 miles away from a dealer in Rapid City that stock a whole bunch of Coopers so getting my paws on one hasn't been a problem. However for those that own one, any input beyond my pawing at the gun shop would be appreciated.
I would also respectfully ask that no one clog up this thread with comments about the politics of the founder of the company and the 2008 elections. First of all I don't care, and secondly a man is entitled to his opinion but that doesn't mean I will punish an entire organization or business (with employees) because of that. Furthermore as I understand it the company is under new ownership.
Caliber would be .30-06 (boring but there's a reason it's been around for 104 years)
or
.280 AI.
Looking into a Jackson Hunter or Excalibur.
