Well after reading many reviews and fondling some nice rifles I chose a cooper 52 fluted synthetic in 280ackley. The fit and finish was supure compared to the kimber ma. The natural  feel of shouldering this weapon just felt right. The super light kimber just felt like it would be hard to shoot well. The test target on a un broken in barrel  is one jagged hole. I just felt that I'd never get the ma to shoot like the cooper. Being used to packing  12 lbs rifle round  7 seems  pretty nice while not compromising accuaracy. Ended up selling a light with mark five and a blr. But ended up with a do it all rifle.  Now to go scope shopping !

Cooper over a Kimber

smart choice :tup:

What does that Cooper Weigh? 

I really looked hard at the Kimber as I love my K-Montana rifles.  But they are hard to shoot well off hand.  I expect dropping another pound would make them even harder to steady offhand.  So I passed on getting one.  Now if they would sell me that action and barrel in a wood stock...I'd probably be all over it!! 

I still may get one and then just make a custom stock.  But each time I think I'm going to retire we buy another company or triple my work load >:(  One of these days when I'm too old and broken I should finally find time to build all these guns :tung:
