ot just like most of use start with a cooey

[munch]

well i have been thinking about something for my daughters first 22 so thought like a lot of use she should start with a cooey.but with a twist.this one will have no sites maybe a red dot or thinking of a nice scope to make it look like a varmmit rifle.and still talking but may have purple barrel and pink stock or could go reblue and walnut .we will leave that for her.i started cutting it down last night to fit her. this is what we have so far but i think it will be a sweet little 22 for her

Every Canadian kid can count on a Cooey.

Nice bit of aliteration there, eh?

Never heard of a Cooey in the U.S. here the girls start out with Cooties.

I've got one too, a Cooey 600, tube magazine. Had it for well over 40 years, still shoot it once or twice a year.

According to the link munch posted, it's "Post-1961 Cooey firearms made by Winchester include: Model 10, Model 39, Model 60, Model 600, Model 64,...". Says on it "Made in Cobourg, Ont." I rarely get through an entire magaine without at least one round jamming, but with a scope and off a bench rest it'll hit poker chips at 50 yards.

Great idea, shortening it like that. I think I'll try it, too. I have a little guy at home - he's still a bit young to use his Red Ryder, but in a few years I'll get him shooting this one.

That brings back memories. I remember going "hunting" with my dad once, probably when I was around 11 or 12. He had a shotgun, I had this Cooey. We saw a squirrel sitting on a fencepost just a few yards away so I tried a shot. I put the scope right on it and fired, but it was so close the bullet hit the post just under the squirrel and that thing shot up about 10 feet in the air. You never saw a rodent move so fast.

Hey munch:

I still have the original scope that came with my Cooey (little tiny Bushnell 4X Custom .22). It's small, doesn't look like a varmint rifle scope, but your daughter is welcome to it if you want it.

Nice work Munch... Great way to start out. She'll love it!

BTW, I think we have a spare single shot Cooey kicking around that we're looking to part with if anyone is interested.

that would be great let me know what you need for it. this model was not ment to have a scope but i will drill and tap it to mount a base .not sure but i may need a 2 piece so she can load it easy

I don't want anything for it. No use to me - I got a new scope. My Cooey .22 has a built-in rimfire dovetail and this scope has a built-in dovetail mount as well (don't need rings). You'd have to attach a rimfire 3/8" base to the gun. PM me your address and I'll stick it in the mail this week.
