Our Assessment: The Cooper Model 22 MTV (Montana Varminter) in .22-250 is a premium bolt-action rifle that embodies the precision and craftsmanship for which Cooper Firearms of Montana is famous. Built around a single-shot action, it offers a level of receiver rigidity that often translates to exceptional accuracy—well under one inch at 100 yards with quality loads. The overall fit and finish, including the fine walnut or laminate stocks and the precise inletting, reflects Cooper’s dedication to producing rifles that blend classic aesthetics with modern performance.

From a technical standpoint, the Model 22 action is sized for cartridges like the .22-250 and features a medium- to heavy-varmint contour barrel, typically 24 to 26 inches long and free-floated to maintain zero in various shooting conditions. The .22-250 Remington chambering is renowned for its flat trajectories, high velocity, and consistent terminal performance on small varmints and predators at ranges beyond 300 yards. Combine that ballistic prowess with Cooper’s crisp, user-adjustable trigger, and you have a rifle capable of half-MOA groups in the hands of a skilled shooter.

For varmint hunters and target enthusiasts who value precision above all else, the Cooper Model 22 MTV is a near-perfect choice. Though it can be pricier than mass-market rifles, the investment pays dividends in the form of repeatable accuracy and pride of ownership. Its heavier barrel profile and single-shot design might not suit every hunting scenario—especially where quick follow-up shots are required—but for dedicated bench or field work against small, distant targets, this rifle remains a top-tier option. Please see our photos and good luck on your bid! – L.S.
