I was given a Cooey mod 75 barrel and naked action a number of years ago. Yesterday on the off chance I decided yo look online for a bolt a there one was. I wasn't able to check the action in time and the auction has now expired but in any event, the seller did not specify the model.
The thing is, it might make an accurate target rifle OR I could build a 22 caliber air rifle on it. I could even make a bolt for it, it being a single shot. But on the air rifle option, the bore is tight enough to ride a pellet head so it should in fact work. I could also build it into a primer powered pellet rifle which might actually be easier. I would not use the action for that if I did.
So, what would you folks suggest? Should I take a chance on an un-specified bolt model (that looks like it could fit) and then still have to make the trigger mechanism or go pellet rifle with either an air or CO2 tank or primer powered. With primer power one could add a small powder charge making it usable for clandestine pest control where a 22 is a bit too powerful with too much range.
