Looks like NightHawk bought Cooper and they're heading to Arkansas. Time to buy you MT made Cooper.

Interesting. I am not real familiar with Coopers, but have heard that their QC had slipped some in the last few years. Any truth in that?

Not sure. I have heard that mentioned but never looked into it. I fondled a few back in the day and wish I would have had the $ when they were frequently on sale at Scheels

The 52 300 Win Mag I owned briefly was well crafted and very accurate. I'd still have it but wanted @Nick87 's Citori more.

Sad to see a company, however small, leave Montana. If they lacked capital, though, better to go to Nighthawk, who seems to be known for quality (strictly hearsay, ain't in any scenario paying $4000+ for a pistol) than to go extinct like Dakota.

I always wanted a Cooper Jackson Squirrel rifle for plinking ground squirrels.

I've lusted for a Cooper for a long time but could never justify those costs.

Most of the time you know what happens when a company gets bought out...

What happened to Dakota after the Remington fiasco was most of the employees (and I think milling machines) were bought by Parkwest Arms in Sturgis. For the Varmint, the price went up by $1K, but, not being in the business, have no idea how much of that was in raw materials/labor costs increasing.
Guessing something similar planned for Cooper.
Defiance actions also recently bought out and price went up 70%.

Justifies upgrades to existing herd, does it not?
