40k per his rifle, and I bring up production rifles at a fraction of the cost, with all of the quality one could want and more.
This is not raining on someone's parade - it's guncabinet snobbery from the "Guild" set!

Sorry for the rant guys. On the bright side, I figured out how to use the ignore feature.
But I am feeling much better now...

You see what I what I meant when I mentioned at an earlier date about off topic posts? (In the voting post) Topics don't always HAVE to be about double guns. Handmade guns, craftsmanship, hunting buddies, lifetime memories galore- it doesn't get any better than that, does it? And better yet, the sharing them with other folks on the board. This is heaven, right?

That's the spirit - if one doesn't agree with you, hit the ignore button.
...and presto!

Well, I must admit I don't have a Cooper, or a Kimber in my gunrack, (although I have bought and sold a few).
Perhaps I will have to content myself with my Gary Goudy Stocked 416 Rem Mag Model 70( crossed chisles tweeked the forend in his bending jig when the piece of figured french decided to get squirrely), the Lee Helgeland 7MM Mag mauser,my Pete Grisel 3006 model 70, and my Winnie model 61 pump, which my dear mother gave me when I was 10 or so. Of course I have others, but these are my favorite personal Rifles. ( and my 88's, gramma and granpas guns, in 243 and 308).
My Shot Guns are another story, which doesnt fit here..
Presently I have a Fisher Mauser Sporter in 300 win ordered, which I think will be around 18k. Can't wait to take that to the field.
Kimber and Cooper make some fine guns.
I doubt if anyone noticed in Coopers 2008 catalog they mention,their factory engraver, Jeff Spicer, who I trained here in my studio in Montana, before I secured him a position with Ithaca Classic doubles, where I provided further training to Jeff, and the other engravers working there at the time.
I quote the Cooper catalogs reference to Jeff Spicer "Having learned his craft under such renowned teachers as Barry Lee Hands- Jeff honed his skills with Ithaca classic doubles"
Yes, they make a really fine production gun.

Mr. Fisher deserves every dollar he gets for his work....(don't mind Lowell he's not been right since he bought the cow-boy'd Beesley).

So far, we have the bench crowd's deleted reply that was ranging from Mann's high of 40k down to Hands low of 18k and one ignore button pusher. No wonder eh!

Just what in the hell is wrong with you people? We are being shown pictures of a rifle being built by one of the finest gunmakers in the world, along with commentary by two of his peers, and you feel the need clutter up the thread by pretending you are important enough to criticize it with your petty comments. Sure, you are entitled to your opinion, but just what makes you so damned superior that you feel compelled to rain on someone's parade?
I am sure you know more about fine gunmaking than all of the members of the Guild combined, but at least you could have the dignity to allow us to happily wallow in our ignorance and inadequacy. It is kind of like your 2nd grader coming home with a picture that you put on the refrigerator... Just hope you guest right if it is a goat or an elephant and tell us how proud you are.
Or heaven forbid, keep your own counsel...

Glenn, There are a few here who suffer from Verbal Incontinence. You have to learn to just ignore them. They interject themselves into almost every conversation, having nothing to offer and don’t understand the conversation at hand. Maybe Jerry could get a computer, log on here so he could learn how to built a proper rifle ;-). Michael
