New lightweight Cooper in 25-06 arrived last week

I LOVE that rifle and it will be handed down to my grandiose someday

The Coopers are certainly handsome rifles. Let us know how it shoots, and perhaps give us a picture of your latest acquisition.

OK - that does it. I'm officially jealous.

NICE RIFLE!

Wow... That's great! Congrats.

Very Nice. I like Cooper. I have both Cooper and Kimber of Oregon, the forerunner of Cooper.

I like the stock a lot.

Very nice looking rifle, hopeit shoots great for you.

What do you plan to use it for and shoot out of it?

Very nice rifle! That is SHARP! Can't wait to see what it does for you on the range, although, not too many Coopers ever shoot poor!

Thanks
Just your typical whitetail rig for South Texas
And it wil probably whack a few pigs as well of course.

I have several loads from Nosler, Black Hills and federal for it.

Handloads will most likely end up with 100g Etips or 110 ABs

They really did a nice job on the stock
Gun weighs 6.66 lbs, about a pound lighter than their other rifles.
They ran a lighter barrel and stock profile.
There are also hollow chambers in the stock

Told them I liked the handling and feel of old Sakos
Like my 1959 Forrester in 243

They nailed it.

I would say so. That is a very nice looking rig. Good luck with the load work up, I will be right behind you with my 25-06!

Thanks for the pictures. It does, indeed, look like a Cooper Rifle.
