I got a call from Mike at Cooper yesterday
I had spoke with them last year about building up a lightweight 25-06 We had a good conversation about what I wanted and he was very receptive to it It's done and shipping! Will post pics in about a week! Never owned one, looking forward to it!

Although mine is the regular Jackson Hunter (not a lightweight), it is a .25-06 and is a real SHOOTER. Good luck with your new one! I'm sure you will be pleased.

My Coopers all shoot much better than I do. They look better too.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Did they came out with a lightweight rifle? I missed it, their new
website's not very good and you have to drill around to find most of the specs. If I recall from
the old website all of their hunting
rifles, including the Excalibur, were well over seven pounds.
Looking forward to seeing and hearing about the build Charles, congrats!!! |

I've always liked 25-06, but never owned one. Anxious to see your new Cooper...

no, they didn't have any lightweight models
I basically told them I wanted one that had a wood stock with nice wood but not premium ($) wood and with a slight monte carlo style stock target weight was between 6.5-7lbs 24" barrel He thought it was a neat idea and we discussed some options on how to accomplish I never officially ordered it and bought last year a Nosler Trophy Grade in 280AI I had in on TE So, I had kind of blown off the idea frankly The phone call saying it was ready was a surprise ! Glad it's a T&E item and I can pay for it later as I couln't afford to buy it right now and I don't use credit cards.... Will post pics for sure
