Re: 257 Roberts vs 257 Roberts Ackley Improved

I think I'm going to ask my wife for a Cooper for a "Christmas rifle" this year (a tradition in our home :-). The Cooper Clasic M22 single shot is available in several interesting calibers. In addition to the 257 Roberts, they also offer the 25-06, and Ackley Improved versions of both. My collection of loading manuals indicates that with the 25-06 I can duplicate low-end 257 Roberts loads with No. 4895, and exceed high-end Roberts loads with No. 4350, and the same weight bullets. So, now I'm wondering if the 25-06 isn't the best of both worlds?
Take are, Tom
Tom,
You will love that Cooper should you get one...I have 4 of them in various models at this time---they are a great gun as you are already aware...everyone I know who has one loves them..
Not sure if you know they are now offering a model 52 repeater..I actually just picked up the "jackson hunter" synthetic model in 30-06-- I plan to use for a plains game gun in Africa next time ...the other calibers I currently have with them is in .204 Ruger, 220 Swift and 6-284...all shoot very, very well..have many target with 1/4 " groups or better ...
