I have spent quite a bit of time reading back over older posts on the Cooper Backcountry M92 rifles as these rifles are on the short list for a new general purpose hunting rifle. This week I noticed some of the online retailers are also advertising the Cooper Timberline rifles. The Timberline models use the larger AI style magazines which seem like it might be a bit cumbersome and potentially get hung up on a pack etc., but maybe not as I do not have any experience using rifles with the AI magazines.
I know Christensen and Fierce are also manufacturing rifles that are in the same price range as the Cooper M92 and some folks prefer one over the other. Are there other rifles in this price range (~$2500 or less) that I should be considering? I have thought about having a rifle built too. It seems like the price creeps up high quite quickly with having a rifle built but maybe I am missing something with this route. Any ideas are welcome as I finally get serious about purchasing a new rifle this spring.
