Trying to make up my mind to rebarrel now, before next pd trip, or try to get another trip out of my Cooper Varminter, .204. I have a little over 3000 rounds thru my Cooper, and I did have it bore scoped "before" my last trip. A lot of heat cracking in the throat, but still did a good job on the pd's. Decided to shoot some groups at 200 yds, without cleaning, to check the accuracy, and see if it would still shoot dirty. I shot a total of 26 rounds, (5 groups of 5 shots) don't know how that extra round came into play.

The group measured less than 1/2", winds were variable, and I watched my wind flag pretty close. Think I'll keep shooting it!

Still looks like a prairie dog slayer to me.

If it ain't broke. . .

if you did rebarrel what would your choice of barrel be?

When the time comes, I'll send it back to Cooper. I'm sure there are better barrels out there, (and maybe not), but I sure can't argue with the round count and accuracy from the original barrel.

I'll take that awful barrel off your hands when you're ready to discard it, LOL!
