Cooper 22 22 BR

[barm]

I was in a local shop and they have a Cooper Model 22 chambered in 22BR with a Leupold VX3 6.5-20x50 scope and they're asking $2500 for it. What do you think?

Is it a standard Varminter, Montana Varminter or a Varmint Extreme?
I'm not sure of USA prices, I'm pretty sure someone with a better idea of pricing will come along shortly.

standard Varminter

IMO, with that scope it's easily worth the asking price. I see them on GB for substantially more w/o a nice Leupold attached.
If I saw that and had 'rifle want', I'd need to make a space in my safe that day.
Being out of production and now limited availability.......

Any idea what the rate of twist would be?

Most likely it's a 12 twist. Older Cooper 6BR's had 14T barrels. And when they were still in business, you could order a custom twist such as a 10T barrel, so the only way to know for sure would be to have it checked at the source.
