When I look at a rifle like that, to me that is a "I just want to own it rifle." Kind of like my custom made flintlock. What I mean is, I doubt there is very little that rifle could do that say a Knight Disc Extreme other or Knight model could do, for much less money. So that is a ... I just want to own it. It might be different if that was the ONLY rifle one owned. But we know that is not going to happen to most of us.

Also I have to agree with MD.. I don't like the two tone contrast. For that kind of money, if its stainless, its ALL stainless. But that's just my opinion and for what its worth, you couldn't get a cup of coffee down town for it.

They offer a nice kevlar stock option for their other rilfes but it is not cheap. Around $450 bedded.

One looks like this

Hand-Laid Synthetics with Kevlar Reinforcing Material that surrounds an Aircraft-Grade Aluminum Bedding Block
Another looks similar to the NULA stock.

The rifles are just waiting for the owner's manuals to come in from the printer & some still need to be test fired. Please know that we do not sell direct to the public & you will need to find a Cooper dealer to obtain one from. We also don't build them unless an order is placed. Some dealers will order some to have on their shelves but many will not. If you are wanting one Fast, I would recommend calling dealers until you find one in stock. Should be at the end of this month when they really start getting out the door.

I have read some comments concerning the blued action with the stainless barrels. YOU DON'T HAVE TO GET IT THIS WAY. You can get it in any configuration that you wish. We can do all blued (matte or gloss), all stainless (matte or gloss), two tone, or Cerakote (spelling?). It's kind of like Burger King, you can get it your way.

NIce but way too costly for me to be banging around in the brush.

They are very attractive rifles. Once you own a custom its hard to be totally satisfied with a mass produced rifle.

Really too much money for my pocket book. And way too pretty for the woods of Viginia!
