[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 538422, member: 1521"] blipelt, this isn't 'best BARGAIN out of the box'. I have a Browning Eclipse that cost more than my Cooper, and weatherbys get up there. Neither offer 'customs'. So in this regard, any Cooper certainly should be compared. The only options I'm aware of with Coopers currently is wood grade, or an alternate twist for some cartridges. It's not a custom. I have a Tubb T2k that would set you back $4500 out of the box(without scope). It is not a 'custom' gun, but a standard model as designed(with a 16mo wait). But this falls under 'other', as in 'another' crapshoot from barrel to barrel. Now I could buy several Remingtons for the cost of a Browning. Maybe one of em would shoot & maybe transfer the others to a gunsmith for something of little value. But what a bother figuring which to keep & still it would never be worth more than a Remington. The Chevy Nova of guns.. I also don't consider load development, and getting a barrel changed, and more load development, to be fun by any stretch. It's a logistical nightmare for me. So it's making more & more sense to reward someone else for relieving me of some of this. [/QUOTE]
