Default Another .22 rifle question

I am more of a handgun collector and shooter than a rifle.

Years ago when I was about 12-14 yrs of age, my father bought me a single shot .22 rifle. It was a bolt action and when loaded, the shooter had to pull a knob on the back of the bolt to get it to fire when the trigger was pulled.

I do not know what happened to the rifle but I wish I could find another one. It shot all sizes of .22 rimfire ammo. When using shorts, it was very quiet. It was also very accurate as best my memory can recall.

Back then I did not care about brand name and it was just a fun way to pass the time. A year or so later, my father bought me a double barrel Stevens 20 gauge and my interest in the rifle waned.

Anyone remember such a rifle or if anyone makes such now?

One of the names they were sold under was Springfield, I think.
I can't recall the model number or other makers.

Marlin Model 101 (?)

Single shot 22 S,L & LR

You had to pull the cocking piece back after closing the bolt.
Some had a round cocking piece. A few had a 'T' shaped cocking piece. I think they were also made under the Glenfield name,,probably the Ranger name also pre-War .

They made a Model 10 in the mid 60's and early 70's also but I don't recal if it had that feature.

I'm sure there are other brands that had that feature but that one came to mind. Iver Johnson or H&R may have made one in the 50's or 60's IIRC.

Here's a pic of my Marlin. Not sure if it's a 100 or 101.

I still have my first 22 rifle - just like you describe. It's a Stevens (Savage) model 15-A. The pull knob is the round style.

The rifle could be a Springfield Model 120. Pictures would be helpful.

It may have been a Winchester. Not sure. But it was a round knob on the back of the bolt that cocked the gun.

I used to practice by shooting birthday candles using just open sights.

If I ever run across one, I will buy it.

Mine was stolen in 2003. I had brought our family guns to california from wisconsin when my dad died. I was burglared and had my safe full and it wouldnt hold the guns I brought back.
There was different lengths of barrels and stocks on those 67s. I had mine from the time I was 12 in 1953. Dad had plenty other guns, I had left that one at home. I noticed he had some masking tape on the stock where he had penciled where the rifle hit at various distances. Mine had the longest barrel and stock. The bolt, cocking piece and wing safety were all chrome. They were a fine quality single shot.

There are lots of brands of old single-shot .22's with the cocking knob. If it was a Winchester, probably a model 67.

When I was 11 I received a Winchester model 67A
boy's rifle that functions exactly as you describe.
I've bought several since then & gave my little
Winchester to my son when he was 11.He's not that
interested in guns in general but he loves that little
Winchester.
As I said,I have several.I'll take a look & see if I have
a duplicate-if you really want one,I'll let you know if I
have one I could part with.

It could have been a Winchester Cooey 39. I have 2 of them one is 80 years old & says "RABBIT" on the reciever & the other is 36 years old. They both work like new. Very good little guns.
