If you take every thing into consideration, the Remington Nylon 66 was probably the best Semi-auto .22 ever made, as long as you shot open sights. I have one that never failed, even with lots of abuse, on purpose, by me. The old ads were full of the abuse that they would take, so I set out to test mine. I worked on a fish farm for a couple of years, and it stayed in the jeep that I fed fish in, year around, with no top and lots of dust and fish feed, and rain, snow etc. Never cleaned it, just shot it, and it never failed to function. Shot frogs, turtles, snakes, muskrats, other things that eat small fish. We did not have the variety of flying varmint then as are here now. Sea gulls, pelicans, cormorants and other water fowl are a problem now that were not here in the late 60's and 70's. I also left it leaning against a tree in my front yard one whole winter. It passed all of the tests and now is in my shop, cleaned and still functional. miles
