A '66 was my first rifle. That gun has had A LOT of bullets through it and is still going strong 35+ years later. My kids are using it now and love it too. It may not be bench rest accurate but was always more than accurate enough. I can remember some unbelievable shots with it and incredible tales of adventures!
I might have added a scope for a brief stint but it was and still is irons only. The rifle points great and still cycles smoothly. It definitely has a fondness for full power loads. I have other. 22s but for plinking the '66 is hard to beat.
