The barrel has a 5r rifling, but that does not make it the same as the milspec 5r.  That one has a better stock and a longer heavier stainless steel barrel, not a chromoly barrel.  
Lifetime warranty and excellent customer service don't mean a thing when your gun fails during a zombie attack.

True.  We've sold quite a few of the milspec 5R rifles too. 
Here is a link to one of them.
 
Speaking of Coopers we just sold one of those too, in 22 Hornet.

I have a couple I play with, right now 178gr. Amaxs, Lapua brass, CCI BR-2s, 44.6gr Varget.  .010 off the lands shoots pretty good avg. 2625fps.  Dot drills are fun with it.  Thunbs Up
