I drew a upper end elk tag for Az and I’m expecting to draw a second elk tag in a coming draw.

I have been looking for a reason to buy a 338 lapua and i figure this is as good of a reason as any.

I have always wanted a cooper but recently I started considering the Christensen elr.

I have zero experience with either rifle so I would love some input and suggestions from guys that do.

The cooper is used but in new condition.
It’s a Jackson long range.

Both guns are in a similar price range.

Any insight would be appreciated
Thanks
Dave

I have a Cooper model 56 in .300 Win Mag and I have a Christensen Arms Custom in .300 RUM. Both are great rifles. The Cooper shoots a little bit better but the Christensen carries better.

It would be really hard to say which one of the two I like better. I would play with them both and whichever one fits you the best is the one that I would go with.
