Has anyone here shot a big bore Cooper rifle? I just noticed that they make rifles up to 505 Gibbs. I know that their guns are lights out accurate and I am wondering how their big bores shoot. What really interests me is that they chamber their big guns in the 404 Jeffery. Thoughts?????
 
I have a model 21 that shoots incredibly well, shot many others that have all been impressive. Been drooling over the 416 RM on gunbroker! Cody Want one! If their DG rifle is anything like the rest I have played with they should be a winner!
 
All the comments on here have me looking at guns chambered in 404 Jeff. Cooper just happens to chamber their Model 58 in 404. Hmmmmmmmmm

I had a Cooper years ago, 22 rimfire and I was very disappointed, but maybe that has changed now.

Matt you have to find some better quality gun shops to hang out at.
 
When Dan Cooper came out and very publicly endorsed Barack Obama for President, I decided that I never needed any Cooper firearm, no matter how good they may be. I don’t support people who support those that want to end our freedoms.

Not disagreeing, but Obama was the best gun salesmen in US History;)
 
I had no idea! I guess that is why they are not mentioned on this forum much. Didn't they fold and get bought out? Now they are Cooper of Arkansas or something like that.
 
I have a Cooper Custom Classic in .375 H&H that I took to SA last Summer. Every kill was a one shot event. The rifle performed beautifully and is easy on the eyes to boot. I'm actually planning to sell the rifle as there's other "toys" I'm looking at.

That's a wrap, on our first hunt of this years season.

Hunting conditions are a bit tougher in South Africa during the month of February, but can be just as rewarding if done right.
