I took my new rifle out this weekend to break in her barrel and see if it could shoot. Per the book. shoot five rounds,clean,shoot five rounds clean, four times. twenty rounds and she's broken in.

The first five shoots got me on target. The target picture is shoots 11-15, The first shoot on a clean bore is high the next four are in the same hole @ 100 yards off a bench. It took a year to get her. It was worth the wait.
I added pics of my reloading bench that I built a few years ago. (when my daughter moved out, her room became my gun room.)
I shoot 32 grn. sbk, 35 grn. berger. and 40 grn. berger , they all grouped really well.
Cooper Arms builds some very nice rifles.

Fantastic rifle! That is a pretty fancy looking reloading bench too.

Looks like a shooter, nice loading bench but way to clean.

Cograts, J-Rat! The ONLY bad thing about a new Cooper IS the wait. Don't let these slobs razz you over a tidy and well organized reloading area. That's just the way those of us with OCD roll!!! Have fun, be safe and enjoy.

That reloading bench is buteaful nice and orginised o by the way nice rifle and good shooting its nice when thing just work cheers bazz

Thanks for the kind words. Building that bench was a fun project, and it turned out better than I thought it would. As for it being clean. RAMOS is right. That is the way those of us with OCD roll. !!! ( clutter makes me crazy )
This rifle shoots better than any others that I own.

Five @ 100 yards

after seeing that last target i feel your pain the best bet for is to send that rifle here and ill put up it not shooting should have been one hole not a clover leaf cheers bazz

By jove, I think you've got it!

I'd say you've put together a steller looking rifle that shoots as good as it looks. Congrats on a sweet varmint rig. Any misses in the field will probably be traced directly to the operator by the look of that last group. Well done!

(That rifle/scope combination looks vaguely familiar........ )

Very Nice
