Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Rimfires Remember these ??

My cousin donated one as a camp gun at one of our cabins. Haven't shot it yet.

Had a black one, was the first firearm I paid for. After a few years, the trigger wouldn't reset and you would have to pull the bolt back after each shot. I couldn't figure it out so I gave it to a friend that let us shoot on his property. Don't know if he ever fixed it. I liked the rifle, but no way would I pay $300+ for one today.

Choice was one of those or a 10/22.
I got the latter.
Served me well for over a decade.
No complaints.
The plastic stuff has appreciated more in value.....my first 10/22 was just a standard walnut model.

Green one at LGS, over 4 IIRC.

They’re like Remington 788’s, the cult status has elevated the prices beyond their intrinsic value as shooters. Not that I don’t like them, Remington stocks and pistol grips always felt pretty good to me and I enjoyed the one I had long ago. They were cool and new then, if they re-introduced them today I’m not sure how well they’d sell, plastic rifles that don’t look like an M4 are no longer that innovative.


Maybe if they didn’t have the Remington name on them holding them back they might do well...

I try not to remember that POS.
I saved my money and bought one when I was a kid. Worst jam matic ever built (next to their 1100).
I traded it to a kid at school for a Savage bolt action.
Every kid I knew that had one had the same problems. After a while you couldn't even give them away.

Smart man, sir...

Cool looking, but to this day I still detest plastic on a firearm.

My safe is kinda littered with short stubby little pricks. I have tried to add each variation. The tube fed 66's I find far more reliable than the magazine fed 77 and Mohawk 10c.

I was at a big gun auction yesterday and watched a Nylon XX-Whatever bolt action smoothbore fetch $1000. I guess there were at least two guys in the crowd that knew what it was and wanted it. May have been a good price, I don't know. Frankly I never even knew they made the Nylon series in a bolt action too, I guess they did. That tells you how much attention I paid to Nylons back in the day. (Except the one's on girls legs. )

Mine was a 77 with a clip.

Traded it to a buddy for an 870, he still has it, it's taught a bunch of kids to shoot.

I still have the 870, it's killed a bunch of birds.

We've both won, but I do kind of miss the Nylon.

Iv still got mine! bought it in 1972, 1st gun I ever bought, and worked for! iv shot a pickup load of critters with it! Yes the tube fed ones are the best, a Bolt action one sold for $550.00 at a gun store I like a few weeks ago!

My son now has my dad's green one. It still shoots and works great, even on it's third generation of shooters.

The only lever action Remington ever made. There is quite a premium on the Nylon 76 these days.

I still have my Mohawk Brown 66. Bought from TG&Y in 1971. Seems like I paid $71 out the door for it. First gun I ever bought.

TG&Y, wow does that ever bring back memories.

Mine came from an OTASCO in '71 I think. Maybe early '72.

My feeling also, but - whatever floats your boat.

I had one.....about $80-$90 IIRC.

A friends two boys took a shine to it so I gave it to them.

About fifteen years later I saw that they were back in vogue and fetching some pretty good money.

My life's story.
