204hotrod: Sweet combo for sure.....you'll be very pleased with that weapon. Congrats!
But as you've now let the cat out of the bag, you're now subject to the usual abuse offered to those who willfully tell us about neat new rifles, but do so prior to actually having the rifle. So now you get the Gunny:
Really, don't take it personal, it's just that we haven't had a chance to use him lately, and you qualified.
Be sure to post some worthy pics of the new rig when she arrives. Got some Lapua brass ready?

Re: Cooper finally arrived!!
Nice! Too bad Cooper put the bolt handle on the wrong side though. Every rifle should have it on the left side, common mistake however. Have fun with your special new friend.

Re: Cooper finally arrived!!
You've almost got it, Ramos. I sure wish Cooper would put the port on the left side and leave the bolt alone.

Re: Cooper finally arrived!!
Well Mike, if you would compromise on the bolt position you would have the port exactly where it belongs! Picky bunch, are'nt we?

You have a point there, Ramos! Cooper should just open up the options so we can all get exactly what we want.RAMOS wrote:Well Mike, if you would compromise on the bolt position you would have the port exactly where it belongs! Picky bunch, are'nt we?
