Thanks
Yea, I lube it up good, and it is just the design. I just need to start strengthening my right hand more, LOL... with one of those spring squeeze deals or a tennis ball. I think it is more an excuse to get another gun, I do have a mess of "stay at home" guns when we go but the Cooper is always in the truck . Every time I go through the vault to try and pick one to become a dedicated, rebarreled heavy barrel gun I close the vault without any headway toward picking the unlucky gun. If I had a local gunsmith one of my 204's would become the replacement 20VT. Allen |

The first Phoenix I ever bought was $1050 brand new in 22-250. Wicked accurate. Put 5 shots in one hole at 100 yards. (only did that once). Those were the days. Glad I bought mine when I did, as they have gotten very expensive. One of these days I will have a true custom rife built, but just dont know how.

With all these great reasons I can't believe no one mentioned
single shots are much easier on the ammo bill and don't heat the barrels up as quick either. Just a couple of my thoughts on the matter,

George I wouldn't say that either, I can get 5 aimed shots off in less than 30 sec with a bolt action single shot rifle............Kiwi

at one time I could make six sometimes seven shots on ducks with a break open single and seldom missed either.
Doubt I could these days though.

Cooper 21 MTV
OK, here my Cooper story. I brought mine oh 10years ago, one morning on the computer saw a COOPER 21 MTV in a 17Remington. My best friend has a REAL high grade Kimber of OR in a 17Rem. Gun store only wanted a 1025.00. I called made the deal. SO HAPPY. Got the gun waited the CA days. Picked the gun up on a Sat afteroon around 3pm. Had all the stuff with me SCOPE, Bullets drove out to a place to shoot, next plan was to go try to shoot a jack the next day with the new gun.
OK, got the scope on, set a target up. Went to load the gun, WHAT THE HELL a SINGLE SHOT. My heart sank. Back then Cooper didn't make 52s. Next day pickup my friend, told him he had been a saleman for 30yrs for a big West Coast dist. He didn't know either. Shot some jacks, made one great running shot on at about 50yrds. After that day, IT's MY GO TO KILL'em GUN. I have NEVER had a problem getting a second bullet going if need, but seldom do. Wish I had the money to own more. BUY IT!!! You will not be sorry!!!! They choot better than we do!!! Last thing I shot with mine called a dog in 185(range finder) he stopped, turned him up side down. Last edited by k9i449@aol.com; 11-23-2014 at 10:18 AM. |

Drover if what you say is correct then I should be able to get a 20 vt in a repeater. Right or wrong. It is my understanding they don't offer the 221 based cartridges in a repeater.

The Cooper website is a total disaster, it is impossible to tell what cartridge is available in what model. Actually it is almost impossible to tell anything from it.
I am away from home right now and do not have access to my catalog when I get back I will check it and let you know. Or if you are in a rush call 406-777-0373 and ask Cooper. If the 221 is not available in a model 51 the only reason I can think of is that it may require a slightly different magazine than the longer 223 family of cartridges. drover |
