Special Features

• The receiver on this rifle is marked Stevensville, MT, placing it among the last receivers produced at Cooper Firearms original Montana location before production transitioned, making this a historically significant build for collectors who value Cooper provenance
• Nighthawk Custom assembled and finished this rifle in Arkansas, combining Cooper's Montana-era receiver with premium component upgrades and the same level of hand-fitted craftsmanship Nighthawk applies to its custom pistol work
• The Cooper Proof carbon fiber barrel delivers exceptional torsional rigidity and dramatically reduced weight compared to a standard steel contour barrel, while dissipating heat more efficiently during extended range sessions or quick follow-up field shots
• The TriggerTech Primary trigger uses a patented Frictionless Release Technology that eliminates the traditional sear drag found in standard triggers, producing a crisp, consistent, and repeatable break that precision shooters rely on for accurate shot placement
• Graphite Black Cerakote applied to all metal surfaces provides a hard, chemically bonded finish that resists corrosion, abrasion, and salt exposure far better than standard bluing or parkerizing
• The AICS-style magazine system is one of the most widely adopted and field-proven detachable box magazine platforms in precision rifle shooting, with broad aftermarket support and compatibility across a wide range of AICS-pattern magazines
• The spiral fluted bolt body reduces overall weight, improves cycling smoothness, and gives the action a distinctive appearance that matches the custom character of the rest of the build
• The wine red and gray laminate stock with hand-cut checkering is dimensionally stable across temperature and humidity extremes, resisting the warping and swelling that can shift zero in traditional wood stocks

Practical Benefits

• The Montana-marked receiver and Nighthawk Custom assembly make this a genuinely rare and collectible rifle that carries documented custom shop provenance, separating it from standard production Cooper rifles and most other custom builds on the market
• The 24-inch carbon fiber barrel and 1-10 twist are well matched to the full range of .308 Winchester projectiles from standard hunting loads through heavier long-range match bullets, making this rifle versatile across hunting, precision competition, and range use
• The included Picatinny rail scope base allows the shooter to mount virtually any modern optic without additional modifications or purchases
• The included spare AICS magazine means the rifle arrives ready for field carry, competition, or range work with no additional accessories required before use
• Hand-cut checkering on the laminate stock provides a firm, positive grip in wet, cold, or sweaty conditions where smooth stock surfaces can become slippery and undermine shooting confidence
• The muzzle brake improves muzzle control and helps the shooter stay on target for faster follow-up shots, making this a practical choice for precision competition shooters and field hunters taking shots at extended distances

The Cooper Model 22R Raptor in .308 Winchester is a smart addition for precision shooters, serious collectors, and long-range hunters who want a fully custom-finished, match-grade bolt-action rifle built on one of the last Montana-marked Cooper receivers and assembled by Nighthawk Custom in Arkansas.
