Something new.

[jtoews80]

I haven't been online in quite a long while. Haven't really had much to talk about because life still seems ridiculously busy. However, a long awaited rifle finally made its way to me

That is a Cooper Custom classic in 6.5-06 with a New Zealand Walnut stock that I bought the blank for and used the supplied blank option. I put a high gloss 3.5-10 Leupold VX 3 on it although I had originally planned to put a Zeiss conquest 4.5-14 on it. The Leupold just seemed to suit the rifle better. Intended load it a 130 AccuBond in resized Winchester 30-06 cases. I'll try and update once I have a load worked up.

That is a very attractive stock; it has real character. Congratulations on selecting a beautiful rifle. Now, to the range. I have no doubt it will shoot well for you.

My wife asked me, "why don't you have wood like that?"

That is really nice wood with great figure. I thought that it was Bastogne at first!

My wife asked me, "why don't you have wood like that?"

That sounds almost like permission! Man, my wife had better never say something like that. :mrgreen:

I know what would happen if my lady said that to me... :shock:

Great looking rifle, and I'll bet it's a shooter too!

Congrats - nice find. Am really looking forward to seeing a few more photos of it out at the range, and eventually in the hunting fields. Should be a GREAT rifle!

JT,

Oh man, that is a gorgeous rifle!
I bet the 6.5-06 would do well with the new 129 gr ABLR too.

Beautiful wood! I'll assume it is hand-checkered? That is a work of art right there!

 

[FOTIS]

NICE!
