I don't think coopers have the 'ruggedness' needed for tough times in the hunt. my .02 -hoppy
I have owned twelve Coopers, and I still own seven. My very first Cooper was a touch erratic in the accuracy department, so Cooper rebarreled it. Every one of the other eleven Cooper rifles will meet the accuracy guarantee , with most doing much better. I live in Canada, and I spent most of my life in far Northern Alberta, so these rifles have seen use in tough conditions, and no failures of any kind with any of them.
