Recently aquired .
It's been very well kept with a gem of a walnut stock ( 2 piece ).
Simple design , single shot , with a manually cocked bolt. I also have a peepsight ( not shown ) that fits on the rear of the receiver .

very nice looking rifle , i had to "find" a peep and both sling swivels for mine to get her in good nick but its a fun one at the range , im in possesion of a spare swivel if anyone is looking for one

Some thirty years ago 'H&R' sports store in Sydney imported a few hundred Cooey .22s and there were some similar ones to yours but most were earlier models.
The late Jack Hochstadt, who owned the store, got me to quote on fixing as many as possible as they wouldn't fire consistently and the few that he had sold had been returned.
Once they were in the workshop it didn't take long to start swapping bolts and in 90% that cured the trouble. A few had to be fiddled with and all but a half dozen were pronounced serviceable. Jack was happy, even as he signed the cheque (he was a good bloke and always paid on delivery, no 30 days wait) and I got to keep the unfixables which I used as replacement barrels in other rifles.
Eoin.
