Rooted in yesterday’s craftsmanship, perfected with today’s engineering.
The all-new Cooper Model 5200 Custom Classic is a modern expression of the quintessential American hunting rifle—designed with inspiration drawn from some of the most respected bolt-action rifles ever built and refined into a singular Cooper design. It reflects the best ideas of tradition, executed with modern materials, precision manufacturing, and uncompromising attention to detail.
At the heart of the Model 5200 Custom Classic is an all-new bespoke Cooper action, engineered from the ground up to deliver strength, reliability, and long-term durability. Machined from 4140 chromoly steel, the flat-bottom receiver features an integrated recoil lug, increased receiver body diameter, and enlarged barrel threads for enhanced rigidity. A one-piece, jeweled, three-lug bolt with a 60-degree throw provides smooth, controlled operation, while the controlled-round-feed action ensures positive cartridge handling from magazine to chamber. A rotating S7 tool steel extractor, mechanical ejector, lowered ejection port, and Mauser-style bolt stop complete a design focused on reliability in real-world hunting conditions. A large, easy-to-manipulate three-position safety offers traditional functionality and intuitive operation.
The Model 5200 Custom Classic is stocked in hand-checkered, hand-oiled Turkish walnut, modeled after Cooper’s original Custom Classic stock profile. Available in Exhibition and AAA+ grades, the stock blends timeless aesthetics with subtle modern reinforcements, including a carbon fiber–reinforced pistol grip, steel-reinforced inlaid sling studs, and a steel crossbolt–reinforced aluminum bedding block. An ebony forend tip and two-screw Jerry Fisher grip cap complete the rifle’s refined appearance, underscoring traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The barrel is a free-floated 24-inch carbon steel match barrel in a No. 3 contour. Barrels are threaded ½×28 and wear a seamlessly blended thread protector out of the box. A knurled thread protector and radial muzzle brake are also included.
Feeding is handled by a top-loadable, flush-fit, lockable double-stack detachable magazine, providing four-plus-one capacity in magnum calibers. An additional magazine is included. Each Model 5200 Custom Classic ships with three Talley scope-mounting solutions to accommodate a wide range of optics and mounting preferences.
The Cooper Model 5200 Custom Classic is not a recreation of the past, nor a pursuit of modern trends. It is a deliberate synthesis of proven rifle design and contemporary engineering—built for riflemen who appreciate timeless form.
A rifle meant to be carried, used, and trusted for generations.
