Most Accurate 22 LR iv ever shot in my life that did not Cost Much

I've got a Cooey 75 I pulled out of my grandfathers basement that shoots extraordinarily well. I swapped out the rear sight with one off of a cooey 64 since the rear notch was a lot tighter than the one originally on it. More or less a point and shoot out to 100 yards without a sweat.

Lot of variances between the cooeys however, I have a Cooey/winchester 39 that shoots way too high and would have trouble hitting a soda can at 50.

The rumour I heard is that Cooey barrels are made a thou or two undersized for better rifling contact and accuracy. Everyone I had (6?) all shot the same and had no issue hitting 12ga shells at 50y
 
I won a number of turkeys at turkey shoots with my Cooey Model 75. You were limited to open sights at those, no scopes, no peep sights. And they supplied the ammo.

No rumor, It's true. I went to thread a barrel on one, and the .22 pilot would not go in. Would go in multiple other 22s I had, but the cooey was def under sized.
 
Two days ago with my $200 Norinco, 8", 6", 4", and 3" plates at 280 yards, shooting CCI standard velocity. I had it dialed good enough by the smallest target that I got it on the first try. Seems accurate enough for me, and about the cheapest rifle I've bought new

Good shooting. What stock is that? - dan
 
Thanks. It wasn't really all that hard to make either, so hopefully more people give it a try. It would be doable with just a drill press and router table, but the bandsaw and jointer made the job a lot easier. I bedded it using JB weld with shoe polish for a release agent, so pretty low tech there too. Once you've got a blank inletted, all you have to do is cut away everything that doesn't look like a rifle stock. I messed up the finish on the butt stock when I was shaping the rubber butt pad though. I also slipped with the router while inletting for the action, and had to cut and fit a piece of wood to fill in my mistake.

I've got a BRNO 2E that shoots better than I do - Fitted with an older weaver K6 micro-track scope, the thing shoots far better than it should. Not for nothing, I've gone overboard on it - epoxy bedded the action and bottom metal, as well as the forward action screw, and now working on fixing some of the fuddery that the previous owner did. Idiot ground off the rear sight base (I knew the guy, didn't believe in iron sights. at 65 years old, the fella was an enigma.) so I'm looking at putting a solid rear sight on - looking at NECG for now. I'll be posting somewhere here now that I've gotten into the forums, instead of just the EE
