Originally built by Cooper Firearms of Montana for Colt, these mountain rifles were built for extreme accuracy, comfort and utility. Out of production since 2014, this limited run of rifles was turned out by Cooper's Quality Control supervisor just before Cooper closed it’s Montana facility in November and sold out to Nighthawk Customs.

When Cooper was producing these rifles for Colt they sold retail at a price point from $3,200 to $3,500.

These rifles came from some of the last stock on hand and serial numbers are in the 380s and 390s, meaning very few of these Cooper-Colts ever made it into public hands.

Every rifle was test fired to sub-MOA standards. Each comes complete with a fluted, stainless steel threaded and suppressor ready barrel, a picatinny scope mount, a detachable AICS compatible box magazine, TriggerTech Classic adjustable 2-5 lb.

I obtained these rifles from Cooper's quality control supervisor. Asking $3,000 each shipping included.

Available calibers:

.243 Win. (2 available)

6.5 Creedmoor (4 available)

6.5 PRC (1 available)

.300 WSM (1 available)

What's the white stuff in the background? :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Seriously, beautiful rifles, good luck with the sales.
 
Lol. I don't know. I never see it down here in New Mexico. But it looks nice. LOL Thank you. If anyone is interested I'm willing to do some negotiating.
 
I want to edit the post but can't find the option now in the face of a message I received from someone on here. So here's the *Edit*

1. As to warranty. There is none. Cooper is shut down.

2. Early runs of these rifles reportedly had some issues. QC guy says feeding issues were never a problem. But magazine tolerances were an issue. Trigger guards were bedded to prevent feeding or mag fit issues.

3. These guns were assembled by the former head of quality control personally and all have been tested for function and accuracy.

4. I sold one locally and the owner reports good groups. The only issue reported is it tracks low and right on shots 4 and 5 when a suppressor is mounted to the barrel (a common problem I see on lots of rifles, especially fluted barrels).

5. Will entertain reasonable offers in light of the fact no warranty is available.
 
$2,200 ea. need to move them for a trip across the pond this year.
 
Nigh Hawk Custom (the 1911 guys) just bought Cooper
 
They look good, but I'm on the wrong side of the world....

What kind of weights and barrel lengths are they?
 
$2,000 each. PRC is sold. Still have 243, 6.5 cm, 300 wsm
 
Any lefthanded guns?

How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

This compares favorably to 7 Rem Mag. with less powder & recoil.

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
