A prewar savage model 602 semiauto.
The end of democracy, and the defeat of the American Revolution will occur when government falls into the hands of lending institutions and moneyed incorporations.

I have a nice Winchester M52B repro and a CZ American with gorgeous walnut. I'm tempted to sell them both and get the Cooper. That's how I acquired my M52B repro - my buddy was dying to have the Cooper, so I bought his Winchester. Awesome rifle, but I would like to have a Cooper as well - someday I'll run out of other things that are ahead of it on my priority list, and I'll buy one - don't think I'll sell the M52 to get it though .

George,
I've had zero problems with ejection...it's very smooth and positive. I've read of your problems with yours, I hope you're able to get it all ironed out. Mine has been a pleasure; function, accuracy and fit & finish are all top notch.
Good Luck, Jeff

This past winter after a long search I found a S&W Model 18 with a four inch barrel to match my Model 19. Set it up with Hogue grips so it's fit and feel is an exact match. The Model 18 lived up to their reputation for accuracy. It's been a lot of fun to have a .357Magnum/.38 Special light to practice with, much cheaper too.

I would like a Win 52 sporter. ...with the bolt bent correctly so one can use a low scope mount. Bob

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

[The 39 action is too short for the 22 WMRF cartridge.] [However, if they would increase the size of the action proportionately, to the size of the 22 WMRF cartridge,]
No, it's long enough. Granted, the internals need repositioning/reshaping, and the mag throat bored wider with an attendant wider mag tube/guides/etc, but..........
If I were re-engineering a gun in stainless, I'd sure look at some internal alterations, as well.

It ain't no fun, when the rabbit's got the gun

As a retired Mechanical Design Engineer, I think the action is too short to be used, as is, for the 22 Magnum... Then, there are strength of material issues to consider. Bill

Marlin chambered the 1894 in .22 Magnum some years back. According to the sales rep, the thing never fed very well and they pulled it off the market.
I'm thinking that if the 39 could have been chambered for the .22 Magnum without a huge re-engineering change, it would have been done long ago. They always seemed very keen on the cartridge...

I could go for a stainless Winchester 52 Sporter with a laminated stock or a stainless Remington 40X Sporter with a 700 LSS MR pattern laminated stock sized to fit the action.
That said, I have a bunch of rimfire rifles, but the bolt action rimfires that I have recently been using most often are the Marlin 980S in 22 LR, 982S in 22 Magnum, and Savage 93R17BVSS in 17 HMR. The recent production Marlins with the T-900 trigger are amazingly accurate for the price and make great understudys rifles to practice with. I've been shooting a 980S that I bought for my Daughter to use as an understudy for her Remington 700 in 243. Although this particular rifle has not been tuned, just taken apart and cleaned, it shoots consistant sub-MOA groups at 50 yards with intermediate grades of RWS and Eley ammo.

A $300 Winchester 94-22. About five years ago, $300 seemed like a lot of a .22...

I'm thinking a nice Kimber bolt action would also be a nice alternative to my original desire.
Cooper is a good choice, too.

I want a colt woodsman or target master (pistol)
And... hmmm, maybe a black & silver nylon 66. I think they were nickle? maybe they were stainless? anyone remember?
Something clever here.

The Remington Nylon 66s in Apache Black had chrome plated barrels and receiver covers, or whatever Remington called the metal cover than had the SN stamped onto it.

A $300 Winchester 94-22. About five years ago, $300 seemed like a lot of a .22... I don't think you will see many 9422's for three hundred dollars these days. New 9422's, in the odd instance where one can be found, are priced over $700.00 now. Even well used 9422's go well over $400.00 in California. I'm sure glad I was able to buy what I needed, when I did...! Bill
