Special Features

• The receiver carries original Montana era Cooper markings, a detail collectors specifically look for in early production Model 52 rifles.
• The single column detachable magazine design requires less material removal from the receiver, adding rigidity that supports tighter accuracy.
• Every stock is individually cut, shaped, checkered, and hand-oiled, so no two rifles carry identical wood or finish work.
• The Amboyna burl stock tip adds a swirling, amber-toned grain pattern that contrasts against the Claro walnut body.
• TriggerTech's Frictionless Release Technology gives you a crisp, creep-free trigger break with repeatable pull weight.
• The spiral fluted bolt reduces bolt weight and helps clear debris during cycling, while adding a distinct visual pattern to the action.
• A factory Cooper muzzle brake is installed on the threaded muzzle, cutting muzzle rise and helping you get back on target faster between shots.
• Factory-installed Warne scope bases give you a repeatable, secure optics mounting platform.
• Nighthawk Custom hand-assembles this rifle in the same Berryville, Arkansas shop known for its custom 1911 pistol work, combining Cooper's bolt action heritage with Nighthawk's fitting standards.

Practical Benefits

This rifle fits hunters and long-range shooters who want a 6.5x55 bolt action capable of reaching from whitetail woods to open elk country without excessive recoil. The 24 inch barrel and fast 1:8 twist stabilize heavy, high-BC 6.5mm bullets, giving you flatter trajectories and better wind resistance at extended range. The threaded muzzle and factory brake work together to keep your sight picture on target between shots, which matters when you need a quick follow-up on game. Collectors will value the Montana-marked receiver alongside the Nighthawk Custom build quality, since this combination will not appear again once current stock is built. The extra magazine and Warne bases mean you can run sustained range sessions and mount an optic with confidence that your zero will hold. If you want a 6.5x55 hunting rifle that doubles as a display-worthy collector piece, this Model 52 gives you both function and provenance in one build.

The Cooper Firearms Model 52 Custom Classic in 6.5x55 Swedish stands as a proven platform for hunters and collectors seeking a rare, custom-built long action rifle.
