Post by Jim Higgs »

cashed in the overtime checks and went out today and purchased a Cooper Phoenix boywill this be fun.the factory target was a 3 shot group using a 32 V-Max and H335 don't know the powder weight or primer but it was a 1 caliber hole.we will see if this holds up I pick it up in 10 days (I hate Calif) and will hit the range the following Sat. and see what it will do during break in.I will try 40 and 32 grain bullets. :D

Ahhh a sweet rifle indeed! I wish I had a job with Cooper doing the proof firings.

And a belated welcome to the 204ums as well!

They are dandy rifles and talk about accurate. Had mine for 18 months or so and love it.
