anybody need a pic of this ,I have an old model 75 that is similar to the 39.

Yea I've got a Cooey Model 600 .22 Bolt with tube mag - Canadian Made. This one self cocks when you draw the bolt back. It was my first rifle that was given to me by my old man. For a 40+ year old rifle, it looks great and works flawlessly. Accurate as could be, mind you I've only shot close range with this rifle (less than 200 yards).

I can't see myself spending all that much money on a .22. So for a good, old, reliable rifle ... a Cooey certainly has a good rep in my books.

I have a Cooey Model 64B (off the top of my head) that shoots quite accurately. Semi, 3 mags (or 4?). I'd be willing to sell it if you're interested. Throw me a PM if ya want, if not I'll keep plinking with it.
