13yd test targets?

You're right that they were misleading, since they were shot at approx. 47yds.

I heard some rumors that Dan Cooper used to test fire and initial some of the early rifles. I have an early rifle that looks like it could have Dan Cooper's initials on it, but I can't be certain. Do any of you hard core/early Cooper buyers have a test target on it that you know is signed/initialed by Dan Cooper? Mine looks like a D6 or DG with the 6 or G dropped below the D, and connected, which could be a stylized C. I will see if I can post that part of the test target later.

Thanks,

Danny

Yes it probably was me my initials look like a DC which looks looks like a 6. We were a beginning company and at first I insisted on testing every rifle

It’s far more complicated than that

I had to deliver a stock trailer to Stevensville Montana. This was a 4k mi roundtrip for me. I still regret not inviting myself over to Cooper rifles just to see the place.

I think someone mentioned they are shot at 47 yards. Kind of misleading if you ask me. At that distance, it better be one hole or there is a serious problem.

I stopped by Cooper Arms Early 2000's and they (then) shot the test targets at 36 yds, indoors, of course.
All the Coopers I've owned shot small groups...

Thanks for the confirmation! It is, if it was not already mentioned, a LH Model 21 VE in 17 Remington. A fantastic shooter and the easiest load development I have gone through.

Remember, Dan Cooper donated a few thousand dollars to the Obama campaign.

While I don't agree politically, it's probably a good business move, best thing to happen to the firearms and oil industries is Democrats. The higher prices we pay for both are not taxes.

A buddy said he ran into you recently at a Home Depot in alabama claiming to be Dan Cooper. I thought he ran into an imposter but I guess he’s right
My buddies young and in medical school

I think he may have had, like me, hopes that Obummer would rise to the occasion and provide a modern day bridge among the races. Low and behold, he became the great divider and a terrible chief exec.
