A few years ago when I began shooting, second rifle I fired after a jager AP74 was a bolt action .22. Never thought to look at the data stamp so I have no idea who manufactured it.

What I remember is:

It was a .22 cal, and all the rounds I had were lr so I assume it was not s/l/lr

Bolt action, tubular magazine underneath the barrel with a brass coloured insert which housed the feed spring.

The bolt had dual extractors or what looked to be dual extractors. The cartridge would feed up into the extractors before chambering.

The safety was engaged by grasping and pulling the cocking piece of the bolt and turning left until it engaged a slot in the top of the receiver.

The only other piece of information I remember was that it was in its original box, from Canadian Tire and had the original sales receipt. $187 sounds familiar.

I have done a bunch of searching and turned up little. Any info would be appreciated.

The only Jager AP74 I'm familiar with was a .22 LR AR-15 look-alike made in Italy and imported by Mitchell Arms years ago.

sounds like the old stevens design, maybe a marlin.
I have the same setup in my 87a but it is semi auto.

It was a bolt action i know, but looking at a pic of the inner tube of the tube magazine for the model 87 that i found on numrich, looks very similar to what i remember, although i am not sure how many tubular magazine .22 have almost the exact same inner tube. Thanks for the answers

To be honest, it could be any of a hundred different bolt action .22s.:confused:

Since this was Canada, it could have been a Cooey. Cooey made some six million guns, mainly bolt action .22 rifles and inexpensive shotguns, yet there has never been (AFAIK) any serious research done on the company.

They were later taken over by Winchester, which company first assembled its own rifles in Canada using the Cooey name, later changing it to Winchester-Canada. Still later, the guns were made in the U.S. and exported to Canada.

AFAIK, the only Winchester bolt action .22 with a tubular magazine was the Model 72. Whether it had a Cooey counterpart, I don't know.

Yeah i have got a couple of cooeys myself now 64 and a 75. I am pretty sure that it wasnt a winchester/cooey make, it was the first place i looked since we had a winchster canada plant in cobourg, not to far from where i live.
