I've had all three...several of some....after my experiences with Cooper....unless you just want to look at it and not shoot it I'll pass.....the Kimbers.....some were great....the older ones seems to be better built and more precise in the details than the new versions....BUT I haven't done much with the new ones and most of the opinion on the new ones is from my dealer who has been a Kimber dealer for most of the companies existance...the Anschutz in the 54 action......fantastic shooter,decent wood-stock available-trigger very nice and adjustable.........accurate!!!!.....I'd get a 54 Anschutz and have Cooper stock it in a classic upgrade stock.......best of both worlds.......??????again some one else may have had different experiences with the guns...I also had one of the Dakotas 22's and a 40X repeater Sporter...should have kept it........and several old and current 52's........o so sweet!!!!!!!and all had their good points and I'm sure a "dog" has been had in all of them.....hope you find your dream shooter....good luck and good shooting!!
