Bigcountry,

The Coopers are a notable exception, but I would place them in the category of "semi-custom" in terms of production volume. I was really referring to the true factory mass-production rifles (which the Browning A-Bolt is), which I really don't think Cooper fits this category, but I could be wrong. Our local Scheels stocks Cooper rifles and they all come with a test target (usually prominently displayed alogside the rifle in the case!) that is usually a one hole group. Now, it is important to remember that the test/proof groups are shot in an indoor range using a 36x target scope off of a machine rest with carefully worked up handloaded test ammo, so it reflects what the rifle is capable of in optimum controlled conditions. I would bet that real world results would vary, but would still be fairly impressive. It should also be noted that one pays a handsome sum for Coopers out-of-box accuracy too.
