That little rifle has taken hundreds of cotton tails, eradicated gophers, rats, armadillos, snapping turtles and other pests. Accurate, reliable, just plain fun to shoot. It's been a couple years since I last had it out, but now I have the bug to take it out again. Thanks, Jerry!

Since then it has taken me forever to get near perfect ones for each of my grandkids. A beautiful little weapon, at about 4 lbs, and nearly indestructible. The market in 1949 was trying to get these in the hands of trappers. Fits perfectly, barrel down in a back basket, and the top tang ambidextrous safety makes it the perfect outdoors tool.

I became a marksman and a hunter with it when I was young taking countless squirrels with head shots and then it fed my family when I had kids and got retired only about ten years ago. I still take it out now and then, since when I do; I also take out all those experiences that have made me who I am. My range is right out my back door and I shoot something about 5 days a week.

      His "regular" glasses are bifocals I bet, and his shooting glasses are for far sightedness only. Or, maybe the bifocal is located in a different spot, to see the sights better. Not sure..... But if he says the reason he missed is because he doesn't have his shooting glasses, I believe him! lol

      Oh lord no, I wasn't doubting his ability, because in my book he is the best there is, I was just wondering what the difference was in the glasses. I'm getting older and having trouble hitting my targets as well as I use to, and thought he might explain how they made his shooting glasses different to help him see better on the range.

    Got mine (brown stock) back in the mid-50s. It was a 15 year birthday present from my parents. Had it till the 1990s and lost it moving. Then about 20 years later I saw one (Black stock) in a local pawn shop. I snapped it up. Happy memories.

    I've still got my Marlin 60 and Sears and Roebuck 20 gauge shotgun from 1979.. Mowed yards for a whole season to get them. They rarely get out to the range anymore. A lot of memories of my grandpa in both. Refinished the Marlin probably 20 years ago and the shotgun needs to be done but I just don't have the heart to do it. Got both of my grandpa's shotguns too but they have not had rounds put thru them in 30+ years. Cleaned them really well when I got them and oiled them up for storage.

    My first powder burning gun, about 1961 or 62. I still have a different one I got in the early 1970s(I had to pawn my first one to pay a speeding ticket, failed to get it back before it was sold). I always loved this little rifle!

    Me and my new-in-1967 Nylon 66 when I was 17 ... pop can at 100 yards... 5 shots... 5 hits. Me and my 55-year-old+ Nylon 66 at age 70+...what pop can??? Still my all-time FAVORITE firearm out of dozens I’ve owned. If you load too many, insert the tube as far as you can, shoot a few, give the tube a shove and a twist and fire 14 more times... Too bad it doesn’t use Ruger magazines. 🤪. Do NOT over lubricate them. It’s not needed and just attracts dirt. I’ve only cleaned mine once in 55 years other than a swab down the barrel once a year. Had it out last November and it still groups just fine. (Yes, this is the same note I posted on Hickok 45…. True here too!)

    I have my late dad's Nylon 66, it was the first firearm I ever shot. When I got it a few years ago I took it and my 1987 Marlin 60 to the range, the old Remington still shot better.
    When I got home I did a detail clean, it was dust dry inside and caked with powder residue, but it was still running and good at that.

It is OD Green and I thought I held the power of God in my hands with hat rifle. Dad cant get out and hunt anymore but I still have that rifle and now I used it to teach my kids about hunting and firearms safety. Every time I see it, it brings on the waves of nostalgia.
