The Cooey Canuck was the first rifle model produced by Canadian arms designer Herbert William Cooey in 1919.[1] It was a single-shot bolt-action rifle chambered in the .22 or .25 rimfire cartridge. Different versions of this rifle were made in Toronto until 1929. The single-shot .22 version of the rifle had a reputation for accuracy and affordability, and won a Certificate of Honour at the British Empire Exhibition in 1924.[2] Cooey also produced a junior and .410 gauge versions of this firearm.
