Anybody know the story on these? I believe they were made in Australia.

The only info I have on the 320 is from the 2003 Standard Catalog of Firearms.

Bolt action .22 rf repeating rifle with a detachable 5-shot box magazine. 22" barrel, open sights. Made between 1972 and 1974.

Exc. - $350

V.G. - $300

Good - $250

Says the same thing in the Blue Book.
Just a little different price.

A Cooey by any other name...

Winchester purchased the Cooey Firearms Corp of Canada in 1961 and produced 60-some odd models up there in the Great White North. Many of our familiar US models were assembled in Canada under different model numbers as well.

A considerable number of Winchester-Cooey products were exported to Australia and New Zealand, but to my knowledge Winchester never assembled guns in either of those countries.

Winchester-Cooey stopped production in 1974, the same year the Model 320 was discontinued.

Kepp;ler, is that 320 a 22mag? it should be. This designed by the same aussie who brought us Kimber of Oregon. First the old man then the son, son went to work for W for a while. I have a Oregon Kimber 22LR, and have couple W 310 clips new in box that are IDENTICAL to the Kimber clips. Just can't remember their name, Aussies answer to John Browning?? I mite be interested in trading for something if U R??

Jack Warne and his son was Greg. came to me in a flash............sometimes it happens but not oftenI can fill U in a bit on that history if interested

Does Warne sights ring a bell?

Dam Kimber is gorgeous but I am not sure xactly what model it is. comes close to some of blue book and Krause decriptions but not quite; such as 26LPI checkering.............IB
