    I have used one, and currently looking into a model 92 in 300 H&H, as well as a model 51 or 54, ( undecided) I have a nice credit balance, at the local high end gun dealer,
    I intend to order a Model 92 when the house in canada is sold, and with the credit I have, a cooper or legendary arms works, likely in 308 or 348win. or perhaps in .284win Mostly a Excalibur, with a 18" tube. Will be 6 x 45, if I decide to go with, the model 51

    The actions are very smooth, and fit, finish and accuracy are very good, I know of several guys with one, and have shot several my self, I like them.
    They are not light weight rifles, seven lbs approx for a 308 action.

    for your viewing pleasure.

    I imported a Mod 21 left hand in 204 Ruger a few years ago. Most accurate rifle I have had. First 3 shot group went about 0.25 at 100m with factory ammo!

    Since had 2 x 6Br, 20Br and 22Br and still think the Cooper would out shoot them. Not sure why I sold it now I come to think about it!
