I have a Cooey SPORT 22 long rifle, it is listed as a boys rifle.
16.5" bbl, 33 1/4" long, 13" lop and weighs 3Lbs 1oz.
A great rifle for a young lad.

The Cooey Canuck would be the smallest at 17"barrel and 34" overall. Its the first 22 cal rifle that Cooey made and not all that easy to find. Now that I said that 10 or 20 guys will chime in and say they got 2 or 3 in their baesment-----Cowboy

Think this is the smallest Cooey - posted by nfa - see his thread
As for the Canuck - rob870 has one on the EE site..http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=211590
Personally deliberated on it for quite some time (like the gun/case combo) but its .25 calibre which makes it hard for me to shoot (no reloading equip...). So instead of the Canuck picked up a Cooey 82 late at night in the dark behind a building somewhere from some unsavoury guy in a yellow truck.
If I find a lowcost 39 I may be tempted to buy it from him yet and swap the barrel over (sacrilege I know but want to be able to shoot the firearms I have)
Cheers

I may have a parts Cooey soon so can have a look at the barrelled action and cut it down if you like.

Hey, I know that guy in the truck. 
PS sorry bud, haven't got back to you on the Cooey project yet, still need to give that message a good read looking forward to hearing the results.
Well, picked up a '39, will post pics of the completed project.

I have a Cooey Model 82 manually cocking single shot. Its barrel is 18", overall length is 34". It has no sights, has an old Bushnell banner 4x scope and looks like a target crown was done at the muzzle. My dad bought it for me in the early eighties and was told it was a "Boys Rifle". I've seen a lot of Cooeys, but have never seen one exactly like mine which leaves me to think that someone "customized" this one. Whatever its story is... it is a super accurate, very lightweight little rifle.
Wish I could get mine looking that nice!

Yup, AR.boy your rifle there was once a Canadian military training rifle, then customized, interesting eh. It's also over 60 years old. The Model 82 was a training rifle for new recruits, I've owned a few, sold my last one to lineofsight here in this thread.
Thanks for the info everyone. I really didn't know much about the original model 82. That little rifle was my first one. I think my old man paid $60 for it in the early eighties. Its one of those that I would never sell, and plan on giving it to my little one when she is old enough.
What scope mount is that? Would it also fit a Model 75?Here's what my modified Cooey 82 looks like...
thanks

Thanks for the pic of the mount - looks brazed on, that so (or was it drilled/tapped).
Cheers.
