I traded for my Cooper, as well as others, used. One good place is Collectors Firearms in Houston. They have a great web site. I'd check on line to see what was available on other sites. Waiting for one to pop up does take patience. Generally gun shows are a mixed bag. Maybe at the bigger ones you'll find something.
With modern .22LR ammo you don't see high quality rifles that are "shot out". So, going used isn't a bad way to find your dream rifle.
Wish you the best in your quest...
