For all you Cooper fans....

[Outlaws]

I just got an email from them about a couple questions I had.

We do chamber for the 6.5x55 in our Model 22 action.
We are starting production of our new Model 52 this month. It is a 3 shot drop box magazine bolt action repeater offered in 25-06, 30-06, 270, 280, and 280AI.

Hope this helps,
Dan Pickett

The Model 52 is finally going into production!

Hoozah! Thanks for the heads up, Outlaws! This is very good news.

A buddy of mine snagged two Coopers, one in .22PPC and one in 6mmPPC (one for my fave cartridges), at an estate sale in Logansport. Paid a silly (low) price for both--no one else knew what they were!

I know that they chamber the M22 action in 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser, 'cause I have one:

And, it's a performer:

Ya thats why I emailed them. I remembered seeing your post. Did they charge you extra to chamber in 6.5 though?

Seriously, good shooting!
