Thought I would announce the expected arrival of my new baby, Cooper M21 Phoenix in 20 Vartarg. My first Cooper!

Want to see what it will look like??






Just got my VT yesterday
Rings for Leupold VX-3 8.5-25 Target Dot will be here tomorrow

NICE! I'm going with the Zeiss Conquest. I looked through one last night at Scheel's and was impressed with the brightness for a 1" tube.
Did you install a sling swivel?

They come with sling swivels

Congratulations to you and the missus
I hope it's healthy and fits in well with the rest of the family.
Remember the others though - don't favour one child more or the others will be jealous

Bodei, congrats on the new Cooper! I can almost feel that grin from here.

Cooper's do not come with either swivels or QD studs unless ordered, at least not the VR, MTV (Varminter and Montana Varminter), nor the Phoenix. They literature says they are available upon the customers request. The varmint models are made to ride the bags, not be carried with a sling or have a bipod attached.

However, there's more one way to skin that cat....(my Cooper 20VT)



No bipod needed here either: (cut down set of Stony-Point stix just for prone chuck sneaking)



If you also shoot from the bench and or off bags, QD studs can be a real pain in the patooty. I've got QD studs for slings/bipods on all my walkabout rifles, but on a nice Cooper varminter? Nah....not me.

I'm with you on the studs, 95% will be shooting from the rest. Now for the "fun" part, making loads. Better run over to Cabela's and pick up those two bags of .221 fireball they have on the shelf. This is my first wildcat, glad its not difficult.

You are going to really, really enjoy that little 20VT in the Cooper. Bill K

hope it didn't take as long to get yours as it did mine, i had to put a comb rise on mine to get it right for my leopold 6.5 x 20

bodei that is a beautiful rifle you have there. Nice one mate
