Tell me there cupcake, what do you know about precision rimfire rifles?Ī true precision. Neither over-rated nor over-priced (at least not when I bought mine, they have gone up quite a bit). Mine is an early 57M and it's a real shooter. As for the Coopers, mine is almost as accurate as a my benchrest rifles and the quality is superb. Notice, no where is there an expected accuracy statement. The Ruger might be a fun and decent rifle but precision, I don't think so. The Cooper 57M action could be improved by adding some camming ability to better and more consistently allow the bullet to engrave the rifling. 22 will have a very light match trigger (Jewell, Flavio Fare, Bix'n Andy, Anschutz), match grade, hand taper-lapped barrel (Shilen, Mueller, Benchmark, Lilja etc) a true match chamber and most will have a barrel tuner like a Harrell's tuner, a trued action with great and consistent ignition (Anschutz, Turbo, Stiller 2500X, 10x etc). How do I know that? Maybe 15 years of competing in rimfire benchrest matches, being in the IR50/50 Hall of Fame and working with a top rimfire gunsmith testing the precision rifles that he built that went on to win National Championships and breaking World Records taught me something about it.Ī true precision. Not every rifle can be as overrated and over priced as a Cooper. How in the F#ck do you know that Einstein? There's nothing 'precision' about that rifle.
