Was lucky enough to find this rifle at a local Cabelas. I think it must have come from an estate as there were three Coopers there at once. It even has the customers wood which I believe is English walnut.

I don't have one in a Cooper ( you have excellent taste BTW!) but the deuce (.222) is easily my favorite varmints round. Got a couple Rem ingots, one was a "build" for high volume shooting and the other a vintage 1974 BDL.You're gonna love that rifle!

I once read that Cooper did their test cards at 45? Yards as that was the only length they could shoot at the factory.
I’m sure yours will better that.
Neat little actions but they never caught on here in the UK. Think folks thought they were expensive at the time.
Seldom See any for sale now.
Did they still sell well in US after Mr Cooper’s marketing blip?
Nice rifle you have there 👍🙂
Cheers, Ken.

I'm not at all sure about their test range.They have a limited but devout following here in the States, due mainly to what you mentioned...they're expensive.
