Who has a Cooper and what do you think about it?
I bought a 22-250 M54 Classic back in 2011. Nice looking rifle. I bought it for a coyote gun. It has a long magazine and a long throat, but a slow twist (1 in 14). Kind of hard to find bullets that I can seat out near the rifling and still have them stabilize good.
I had to send it back pretty soon after I bought it because it would eject the empty case right up into the bottom of the scope where it would bounce off right back into the rifle. Cooper changed the ejector spring to fix that.
The rifle likes Sierra bullets and hates Hornady VMax. Does okay at my altitude with the 50 grain Barnes TTSX.
I don't think much of their "3 rounds" accuracy guarantee either, but they aren't the only ones doing that. 3 rounds isn't statistically significant. Give me a 5 under an inch. If you really want to impress me, give me 10 under an inch.
