I was recently the lucky "winner" of a Cooey 64 Semi- Automatic 22 at a local auction sale. In today's video we clean the rifle and then sight it in.

Nice find, I had never heard of Cooey until today. How many 22s does one man need? One more....always one more.

Hello Eric, Thanks for your comments. Cooey was almost a Canadian house hold word in the good old days. It seemed like almost everyone had an old Cooey 22 and/or single shot shotgun. When the plant closed it was like losing a piece of Canadiana. I read your words re. how many 22s does a man need to my wife; wisdom! We both had a great laugh! All the best Buddy!

Thanks Paul, there's nothing like plinking with a 22. I hope all is well with you and the family. Take care friend..

Hello Mark, I hope you and your family have enjoyed a good summer. Yor words are so true, it is great fun to plink with a 22. I have many great memories of shooting a 22 as a boy. I can still remember the time my father introduced me to 22 shorts. I hope to spend a little more time shooting in my retirement. It is a chilly morning here a heavy mist on the lake, as my father in-law would have said once could almost think of "putting a fire in the box stove"... All the best Buddy, it is always great to hear from you. Paul

Same Brite Bore cleaning kit I purchased...in 1967 ...possibly earlier. So what is the scope...is it a Weaver 4 power? I have 3 Cooey 22...and 5 Cooey shotguns...one is a goose gun with a 36 inch barrel....in mint condition....and very accurate. I used to shoot with a group of chiropractors who had a hunt camp. After a day of blasting clay pigeons, my shoulder would be black and blue....and occasionally it bled. If you can't take a groundhog with one shot you should get some serious training. I took 38 from the farm where I grew up. They could be dangerous to farm equipment due to holes and mounds of earth. In grade 11, I took a Ranger 22 long rifle derringer to school...on my lunch hour I took it to a nearby gunsmith and a day later paid him $5 for adjustments to the hair trigger on it. Times have changed....take a gun to school these days and you could get into real trouble! Later just out of the army I had to take a hunting course at the end of which we had to take 7 shots at a small target. I had 5 shots in the bulls eye...and the rother two missed...until I pointed out to the instructor that two of the holes were slightly oval. Made my day!

Greetings, An errant thumb swipe sent my last reply erroneously... Love the stories from the good old days. Sounds like you have an incredible collection of Cooeys! I can remember reading about and dreaming of shooting a Cooey Goose gun (and of course with Imperial ammunition). My father had a friend that duck hunted with a Cooey Single Shot, he kept two shells between his fingers and could reload incredibly fast. I bet you had some fun with your friends at the hunting camp, I can remember those bruises... You must have been quite a good shot in your day, that's a lot of ground hogs with a 22, and those 7 shots in 5 holes, wow! Thanks for reaching out and saying hello. All the best, Paul

@@OutothehousewithPaul Old age is knocking on my bones....I will weep the day I sell off my collection of guns but no one in the family is interested in them. Rather than put up with all the tire kickers (so to speak) I might give Ellwood Epps a call as they are about 20 minutes from here (Bracebridge)and buy collections. One can spend a fortune on guns but in the end simple guns and a good shot can do all that is necessary. You cannot hunt today without a course taken or a hunting license at least newer than about 8 years, in order to get a new license. I took up archery too and if a target was moving it was easier to hit. Out with two friends on a private range (archery golf) the first shot ( by a true expert ) hit the bullseye dead centre (about 60 yards...certainly not more) ...the next guy (using a bow sight rather than via instinctive shooting) split the first arrow. Then the first guy took another shot and split the second arrow......I was the amateur and took the next shot and split the third arrow....all four in the same little hole....name the odds!!!! Pity we did not have a camera. Sometimes life is not fair!!!!!
