I tend to agree
They make a nice light hunting rifle. For the serious social purposes that Colonel Cooper envisioned them for, they are really only useful for a narrow set of circumstances. There are a number of self-loading 7.62 rifles that can be made to shoot very well with decent optics and a good trigger. For most conditions involving encounters with armed humans, one of those would be a much better choice.
