EXCERPTS FROM JEFF COOPER’S WRITINGS 6/23/2025
Excerpts from the Writings of Jeff Cooper
It seems to be firm now that Steyr Mannlicher will not go to a left-hand version of their new bolt-action, as used in the scout. You lefties may just go to the Blaser R93, which is certainly no tragedy. The 93 is not a scout, but it is a delightful rifle nonetheless – one of the outstanding artifacts of the day.
Jeff Cooper’s Commentaries Vol.6, No.12 November 1998
On the tactical walk, which is operable if not yet complete, we noticed that the hunters had all the advantage. Hunters seem to develop a “situational awareness” that city slickers cannot match. People who do not regularly take to the woods can be counted upon to walk right by targets in plain sight. I guess city dwellers cannot be bothered with the perils of their surroundings.

An Austrian April in Arizona
Last month the Cooper family hosted 13 Austrian shooters for almost two weeks of fun in the Arizona highlands around Prescott.
The group included Andreas Rippel, the president of IWO (the Austrian equivalent to the NRA) and two of his associates from Vienna. The group from Salzburg numbered 9, all members of the largest shooting club in the country, the Schutzenverein Neun Millimeter in Hallein (home of the Cooper Range).
We managed two guided museum tours (in German), a tour of Gunsite, two days of shooting at Jeff’s private range adjacent to Gunsite, day trips to Jerome and the Grand Canyon, shopping, eating, drinking and lots of camraderie. It was a great time with great friends. Shooters are the BEST!
