Cooper 21 204 Ruger load test

Post by triggerfingers »

I cannot say how much I am impressed with the Cooper rifle. Did a number of load testing today and this group far surpassed anything I have ever done. Special thanks go out to Rick, Skipper and all the others who’ve encouraged me to go this route with a rifle… All I can say is wow wow wow.

TF: See.....told 'ya so! :wink:

Hey, just glad you scored a very nice rifle, and it shoots as good as we said it would. You'll have many hours afield enjoying it for a long time. Glad it worked out for you. Looks like your load workup will be a short affair too. :D

i guess if you have to ask how much it cost you can't afford it. it seems to be a secret.

Careful! If you hang around Rick too long you will end up like me with 3 Coopers in your safe!

I think you’re right on that… And I’m sure one will be 20 VarTarg.

Yup, first Cooper was a .204, second one was a 20 VarTarg, third one was a .22 Hornet now converted to .22 K Hornet. Bury your wallet while you can!
