- HW. Cooey Machine and Arms Co. was founded in 1919 and their first firearm was the single shot Cooey Canuck. Ever farmer has at least 1 of these workhorse rifles. Today we are going to check out my very old (1940's) Cooey model 60 Hiawatha repeater .22 rimfire rifle. A great option for plinking, target shooting and pest control around the farm, gophers and such...
Over the years Cooey produced house brands “Eatonia” for Eaton’s, the largest department store in Canada, “Sure Shot” for Simpsons department stores and “Hiawatha” for McLeod’s western stores.
Want to thank a couple of great channels that inspired me to make this video@RonSpomerOutdoors and @hickok45
I shot my cooey repeater gifted to me by my father for the first time today. We had a rabid raccoon wandering around our farm. What a sweet -shooting rifle! We are in Ontario so its awsome to hear the history of it.
Wow, that is awesome 👌. Thanks for the comment, and have fun with that beauty .22. Have a great weekend 👍🍺
The most accurate rifle i ever owned was a "Cooey" youth single shot.Great memories.I can picture the Imperial .22 lr box now..:)
Hi Jimmy, nice video, I remember when I was a young guy living in the Bush with my family, my dad who was a trapper, traded some skins to get me my first rifle which was a Winchester 252. I remember I was so excited and the first thing I hunted was a Spruce hen. Thanks for bringing back good memories.
Beauty rifle, John, and thanks for sharing. 👌👍. Yeah, that's a perfect little grouse setup for sure. 🍺🍺
These are nice little rifles. I have a winchester stamped model 60. It was a birthday gift from my wife and inlaws, through a close friend whos buddy had one for sale. Sadly I lost my friend to cancer a few years later so this rifle is sentimental to me for several reasons. I also have the weaver mounts and optics. It is a very fun and reliable piece of history.
The 39 is a very nice beginner rifle for youth, first cooey i had ever shot, and will eventually buy one of my own. The fact that the bolt has to be pulled to cock the rifle even after it is chambered makes it a very safe rifle for youth. You really have to want that thing to fire. Hard to do it by accident. Not to mention, simple, accurate, and reliable.
Thanks for the comment, and I agreed 100 percent. Awesome rifles 👍. Have a great weekend.
As an American I never heard of this brand. Seems pretty cool.
I can see parallels with my youth Marlins.
Great video!!! Thank you so much 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Shane! Appreciated 👍
I inherited a Cooey Model 60 from my grandfather over 25yrs ago. It never ejected brass right, even after stripping/cleaning. Ironically mt first rifle was an EAL .303 from my grandfather
Hey Jimmy. Great to hear the history behind the Cooey. I was unfamiliar with that one. I got into shooting at an early age starting with a Daisy Red Ryder BB gun followed by a Marlin Model 60 (.22) and then it just blossomed from there. I always wanted to hunt as a kid, but unfortunately hunting was not very popular in the area where I lived, (CT) and there were no family members/friends who hunted and could mentor me. It wasn't until I was in my early 20's that I connected with a buddy who grew up in the Adirondacks and took me deer hunting. Been doing it ever since over the last 30 plus years. As always, great job with the video scenes. Cheers! Michael
Hi Michael and thanks. I'm glad you found a hunting buddy. It definitely tastes better when you've harvested it yourself 👍🍺
I might try to do some hunting videos this fall 🤔
Nice well made rifles. One day my grandpa brought out a daisy bb gun, think I was around 11. My Grandpa made a circle on one of his red painted sheds on the farm, think he used a marker for the circle, we shot at that circle on his wooden shed and he gave me the gun, I got so good with it I could shoot flying grasshoppers when they were on the ground , stones and many birds, my cats were well fed. 30 years later u could still see the bbs still in the wood . My only regret is when the farm was sold to a landfill they tore all the buildings down and I wish I would have cut that area out of the shed. Always a good memory with my grandpa. Since then I hunt with many different weapons, if my grandpa never did that my life would be very different to this day.
Thanks for the comment and awesome story! Your Grandpa sounds pretty cool. BB guns, pellet rifles and slingshots, good times!
Funny that my first shooting was an 870 also. Went out duck hunting with my dad when I was 12 (could have been younger) and then target practice with a .22. I cannot remember what kind of rifle it was. Like a Cooey with the tubular magazine, but semiauto. Anyway, good memories and traditions that are harder to pass along these days.
I think the dad's just like to see the reaction of a skinnyeah kid shoot a twelve cage l o l. Thanks for sharing, Craig 🍺. Times are getting weirder by the day
The scenery reminds me of Claresholm, AB. My dream vacations consist of prairie province gopher shoots.
Awesome video, I love anything Cooey as it’s 100% Canadian. The Cooey 64 semi auto became the Lakefield, then became the Savage 64F we know today. So even though it doesn’t say Cooey on the barrel anymore, it’s still made in Lakefield Ontario and is a Cooey in Savage clothing. I bought one a few months ago and love it. I think a 64F would look good beside your model 60 😁. Cooey was affordable, durable, reliable and accurate. Very well made.
Thank Tony, much appreciated 🙏
Great video. 👏🏻
I have a Winchester (I am in Australia 🇦🇺) stamped Cooey model 60 that was handed to me in terrible condition, now restored a little different to how it was originally presented. Still shoots well though.
Thanks for the comment and info. Enjoy that old iron 🍻👍
Nice video
Thank you very much 🍺 👍
Another fantastic video.
Thank you, BT! 🍺 Appreciated 👍
Super Video and fantastic alternating sequences! My heaviest wapon is my Creme Brulee Torch🥴
Haha, on the Creme Brulee Torch 🤣. Thanks, my friend 🍺👍. Have a great weekend!
For you to👍👍
Hi Jimmy. Really nice rifle. Seems like a well made rifle. Some how I think any weapon in your hands would be deadly! Happy hunting.🍺❤🍺❤️
Thank you, Nancy. Much appreciated 😀👍🍺. Have an awesome Monday 👌
Great old rifle. We shot bolt action .22s in the Boy Scouts.
Thanks, Paul 👍. I wonder if they still shoot in the Scouts?
I have a model 600 cooey and I can’t find any rails for it
I was in the cadets at school and the did my 22in the army, a good friend ( the head deer manager for the MOD got me into hunting for proper wild organic food) I feel for you peeps over there at the mo with your prime minister trying to ban everything. We lost semi auto rifles to 1 incident and handguns to1 other incident . Stay safe respect from the uk
Thanks, Wil 👍. Free-range beasts are the tastiest 👌🍺. Yeah, this government is full on commie mode. It's gonna get weird 🤞
Our Prime Minister is a fool yes, but we haven't lost all our guns yet.
I have the old 22lr cooey 600 and 760
not hating but are you shooting at fruit? just use empty cans , even though you have enough food you shouldn't waste any.
If the farmer who grew the fruit gets paid, who cares what this guy does with the fruit.
Why don’t you call your local grocery stores, they throw away tons of fruits.
The Ross Rifle was terrible and was only used cuz the general or something was friends with the producer
I once had a cooey single shot called a ranger and it had cooey marks.
That's Holy Cross Mountain in the background in the Highwood Pass. Great video on an iconic firearm. Thanks.
I found your video, I went to the safe , took out the old model 60 and I admired it, I will never get rid of it.
Great Video, Awesome sence of humor & funny comments. I had many good laughs. Very informative about this historically significant rifle. The movie Shooter brought me here. Also my & my 3 sons enjoyment of collecting fine older .22,s. I really like that this old beauty runs shorts too!!
Wow, thank you very much, appreciated! Have a great weekend 🍺👍
Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Perry 👍👍
Love my cooey repeater got it from my grandpa years ago
Still super accurate
Go to small game rifle
Also try out the norma eco speed mine loves em super accurate and going 1700 fps in 22 lr
Have you tried Eley ammo? For me they are so consistently accurate. It's british and sometimes hard to find tho.
@stevenhansen7703 hi Steven. I haven't, but I will keep an eye out for some. Thanks for the heads up 🍻
@JimmyMeatwhistle
I guess my other comment re using cooeys after school in the seventies got deleted for some reason by youtube. Oh well.
Really nice 4runner, maybe a video on it in the future?
Hi, and thanks for the comment. A review on that truck will be coming up shortly as it's approaching the 500,000 mark 👍🍺
I had one in my teen years.
I wonder how many are out there?
@@JimmyMeatwhistle when I was around 16, my friends and I would load 22 shorts in the cooey and then shoot at a dead white pine way above all the other trees. After the Crack of firing, 2 or 3 seconds later you could hear the round hit the wood. We did that for fun. I miss the days when owning a guns and ammo.was so easy. The Liberals over the years took the fun out of everything.
