Description:
Cooper of Montana Model M38 - .17 CCM - Used; Excellent Condition - Rare Cooper Centerfire Magnum
Cooper Model M38 – The Rare .17 Cooper Centerfire Magnum – Montana Craftsmanship
For sale is a Cooper of Montana Model M38 bolt-action rifle, chambered in the rare and collectible .17 CCM (Cooper Centerfire Magnum). This rifle is in excellent used condition and represents the pinnacle of Cooper's American craftsmanship – a true collector's piece and an incredibly fun small game hunting rifle. Serial Number: 17-136. Original box is included.
The .17 CCM is the smallest of the reloadable .17 caliber centerfire cartridges, developed by Dan Cooper of Cooper Firearms. Based on the .22 CCM case (which was intended as a centerfire, reloadable alternative to the .22 WMR), the .17 CCM pushes lightweight 15-grain bullets to nearly 3,500 fps with very little noise and minimal fouling. Note: New .17 CCM ammunition is no longer manufactured; shooters must reload their own brass. The bullet is no longer in official production, making this rifle particularly desirable for collectors and dedicated handloaders.
This Cooper M38 features a 24-inch stainless steel barrel with an excellent, bright, shiny bore. It sits in a handsome checkered walnut stock with a semi-pistol grip, checkered walnut forend, and a black rubber buttpad. The rifle has a 14-inch length of pull and an overall length of 42 inches, weighing just 7 lbs 4 oz. It includes a detachable 5-round magazine and is mounted on Leupold two-piece scope bases (scope not included).
