Mine is still being built.....McMillan stock just arrived a few days ago and is being sent to the gunsmith today!

Heres what it will be:

Rem Model 7 in 7SAUM
McMillan Mtn Rifle w/ no checkering (tan with webbing) - Bedded
Slabbed Action
Bolt Handle Skeletonized
Tuned Trigger
PTG Bolt Shroud and Pin Assembly
Talley LW's
Leupold VXIII 2.5-8x36 w/ M1 elevation turret

Will have it cerakoted black either before or after the season.

May flute the bbl or replace, depending on how it shoots when its done. Running the factory bbl when it comes back from the smith.

Very nice job, a home run. Now I want "need" one.

jpohlic · #14 03-17-2011, 12:10 PM

It's not a new rifle but it's new to me... a .54 Jonathan Browning mountain rifle. Hoping to get a deer or elk with it this fall.

And if by hunting you include gophers, then we also got a new .22 Savage BTVS

sureshot73 · #15 03-17-2011, 12:35 PM

Browning A-bolt micro hunter 7mm-08

H&R 7mm-08

elkhunter11 · #16 03-17-2011, 12:45 PM

I have a Cooper Jackson Hunter in 7mmstw on order, as well as a Cooper Model 54 Phoenix in 260rem.

nube · #17 03-17-2011, 12:46 PM

Got a 375 barrel for my Blaser R93 comming!!!!

Pathfinder76 · #18 03-17-2011, 12:57 PM

I hope to see a completely new set of rifles by mid August.

duffy4 · #19 03-17-2011, 02:24 PM

I posted a picture of a really nice looking "sporterized" .303 enfield awhile back. I got lots of pms asking where it was and some posts asking the same.

So never having owned a .303 rifle I went ahead and bought it.

Then I bought a .303 enfield in its working cloths. My son-in-law is doing a masters degree in Canadian Military history. He is a vet having done a tour in Afghanistan. I thought he may enjoy having owning the rifle that Canadians soldiers carried in so many conflicts. I showed it to him, we shot it and when permitted he will own it. (he is working on getting his PAL)

Then a friend (a couple actually) who knew I was looking for a Win. M70 in 6.5X55 pointed me toward one. I bought it.
It will probably be given to my daughter to hunt with to replace the .243 she has been using.

Blaser makes a great rifle and they are unique with the slideing bolt.what model is your R93?

My dad had a black synthetic R93 in a 270 win.one of the rifles he of coarse regrets selling.

A R93 rifle in the Luxus model that has nice wood & engraving on the reciever is
Da Bomb!

roger · #22 03-18-2011, 09:55 PM

StayPuff · #23 03-19-2011, 12:37 AM

sako A7 SS 7mm rem mag. Can't wait to shoot it, will be here next week. Not a bad upgrade from a 303 brit lol.

emrich-55 · #24 03-19-2011, 01:31 AM

Just picked up a new Sako 85 finnlight 270wsm with a ziess 3x9-40, can wait to shoot it. But still trying to find someone who makes aluminum rings for the thing.

Beaver County Hunter · #25 03-19-2011, 09:53 AM

deerslayer · #26 03-19-2011, 10:59 AM

Just bought Winchester 70 extreme weather ss in 270wsm , topped with a redfield scope, shoots very well.

elkhunter11 · #27 03-19-2011, 11:24 AM

A Cooper LVT in 17HMR is now on the way to join my Cooper Jackson Hunter in 17Mach2. The duo should be deadly on the ground squirrels.

Not another One

Your going to have to change your last name to Cooper,if you keep this up!

I noticed the other day ,that they now offer more chamberings in there model 54 short action repeater rifles.

a M54 in a 220 Swift Repeater rifle would be unique to Have someday!
well next year at least.

I have been thinking about trying the 17HMR for a while now, and I actually purchased a used CZ in 17HMR that I haven't even fired yet, but I really wanted a Cooper. The 17HMR won't replace my 17Mach2 due to the cost of ammunition, but I will use it when the shots get a little long for the 17mach2.
I am going to test fire both 17HMR rifles next weekend if the weather is good, then I will likely sell the CZ. It shouldn't be too long before my Model 54 Phoenix in 260 arrives.
