cooper only made a few of the model 40's. I had a exhibition grade 40 in 22 k hornet, I think there was less than 125 made total.

You don't happen to have any old pictures of the Model 40 do you? I'm convinced that the Model 40 I have has exhibition grade wood on it.....or its way better then the AAA Coopers I own. This is the second one I own. Had a new in box one with the serial number VEGAS 5.. Sold it on GB unfired for big money. The one I have now will be with me for many many years to come. It has a few bumps and bruises so I won't feel bad if I take it to the field.

The Model 40 sounds like a possibility too. How much does it weigh? |

I have a Tikka T3x I carry when I’m not going too far and when I know shots will be under 200-250. Chambered in 223. Nothing pretty to look at but it shoots very well and is light as can be.
Tikka made the Forest model in a 222 a few years ago (maybe they still do) and that would also be a neat gun for the walking varminter. |

I've never put the Model 40 on a scale but its considerable heavier. Probably 7.5 lbs with scope or maybe a little heavier then that.

FYI My Cooper M38 221 FB
My rifle weighs 7 lbs. 3 oz. with a Leupold 6.5-20 scope and SK bases. I have an XP100 and was always impressed with the efficiency of the 221 FB round. It really shows itself in a rifle. Good velocity and extremely accurate.
