GTO: Don't dispair bud.....one of my Coopers, a M21 VR in 223 was found on a local "used rack" in town locally. I took her home for a paltry $700, ckecked the bedding (which was perfect), cleaned her up, scoped her, installed a Jard 10 oz. trigger and took her out for our annual Rat Rodeo in N. CA. Let's just say the rats did not appreciate this rifle one bit.GTOHunter wrote:I was drooling over that Cooper .20 VarTarg....some day I'll get a little Richer and drop some serious coin on such a wonderful Rifle?![]()

Here's a target I shot with it on Day One to confirm zero after travel to the Rat Patch:

Prowl the pawn shops locally and on line, watch the forums and one will turn up eventually. Last month in a local pawn shop I found a pristine CZ 527 Amercian in 221FB in the box w/all papers, rings and Redding dies for $550......deals are out there, be patient and eventually the "Gun Gods" will smile upon you.

(But again, a 20VT would be ideally suited for exactly what you want to do.
