    One of the few non-rimfire rifles produced under the Cooey brand.

    The Cooey Model 71, sometimes known as the Winchester Western Cooey 71 (not to be confused with the lever-action Winchester Model 71) was a Canadian-made bolt action rifle produced in Cobourg, Ontario by the former HW Cooey Machine and Arms Company after it was bought out by Olin in 1961.

    This design is VERY close to the Winchester Model 70 (which it's based on), but with the safety on the side instead of on the bolt. Like the Winchester 70, it uses a push feed rather than controlled round feed in its action. Four-digit serial numbers are not uncommon.
