While looking for a .22 sporter I ran across a new old stock Cooper 57m TRP3 for $2,000. It has the green composite/synthetic stock and stainless bull barrel. The shop has had it for a while and is looking to move it. It has been on display and handled but still looks close to new. I like to shoot paper with my .22’s but do not have a pure benchrest gun. Is that a good price or has anyone else seen these being discounted? I do not see that model on the website. Any feedback on that exact model would be appreciated. Thanks!

Given what Coopers are going for these days that price may be considered reasonable, if 1) it is in fact like new, and 2) it has a wood stock that is better than a "plain jane". If the stock is well above average -- color and figure -- I would definitely consider it a reasonable price. In any case, pics would help. And if the dealer is hot to move it, you may be able to do a bit better.

Is that a synthetic stock (looks like it)? Is that THE rifle or a stock picture? If so, you might well do better that $2,000. Just sayin...

The TRP is still a 57M, but a target version in a single-shot action, with a heavy barrel and stock designed for BR shooting. They have/had a reputation for excellent accuracy.

Both of my Coopers, a JSR and a Montana Varminter came nowhere near duplicating the "proof" targets.
A couple of guys in the BR competitions told me there are better BR rifles.
However, with ample testing of ammunition and decent optics it would be a good starter.
Having worked in a LGS, when the "BOSS" said an offer was less than his cost it was a gimmick . . . ask to see their cost and if they are telling the truth . . . pay the $2000. Be careful how you word your challenge . . . it he is not telling the truth . . . his cost or $2000 whichever is less . . . deal.

I sold my lamnated stock TRP-3 for $2200 about a year ago. However, It had 2 oz. Jard trgger, Harrell tuner and had been pillar and glass bedded.
I think you should provide us with detailed directions to getting there and give us a couple of days to see it and make an informed opinion to answer your question...
