Mr. Winker, simply because you knew Mr Cooper, and agreed with his opinions, doesn't make him right in his opinion! So with that thought in mind it is a toss up who is out of line, and incorrect as well!

Mr Cooper was a nice man, who had a large opinion of the worth, of his ideas, that were mostly with weapons designed to kill people! After all, his back ground was in Military combat training, and self defense from armed opponants, not sport hunting.

I'm sorry to see him pass, because he had a place in the self defense magazines, but he was a soldier to the end, and that doesn't necessarily translate into proper design of hunting rifles.

He was good at his chosen field, but his field is not where most hunters interests lie! His creations were not popular in the hunting fields, and I suspect neither are your's, since you agreed with him so much.

I agreed with him on his political views, but certainly not on his choice of hunting rifles. Still, may he rest in peace, though I doubt he would be satisfied with anything as mundane, as "PEACE"!
