Cooper Questions

HuntMontana · Jul 9, 2008

I am trying to decide which Cooper I want. It is between the Excalibur and the Jackson Hunter. Does anyone know the pros and cons of a fluted bolt and would the 23” barrel make any difference? Let me know what you think.

Which caliber are those? Mine is a varminter but I changed the stock and it became the Phoenix. I love mine. It's very accurate and it's chambered for 223 Ackley Improved. As far as fluting goes, if it's done correctly, it won't affect much the accuracy potential of the rifle, and it looks cool.

Nice rifle! I am going to get it in the 25-06.

I won't be buying any Cooper rifle.

I think I'll stick with Tikka's. They gave a million dollars to the NRA.
