Speaking of Dad guns, my dad had a Remington Nylon 66. He plinked a lot of small game with it. He had lots of rifles/shotguns in various calibers, but this was one of his favorites.

The plastic stock was quite a novelty. And the 14 round tubular magazine was kind of unique.

Unfortunately he died when I was 10 and my older brother inherited all the guns. I don’t know if he still has it or not.

I had a nylon 66. It was Apache black. All the metal parts other than the sights were chrome. It was one of the handiest guns ever made.

The only weakness was that scopes tended to lose their zero due to the fact that the action cover did not stay exactly in the same spot due to the fact that it just covered Nylon and was not part of the action.

Putting a scope on such a light handy rifle was not a good idea anyway.
