Was just browsing the rimfire section of 24 hour campfire forum (I'm not a member there) and saw a thread from May of this year where someone was asking about the Nylon 66.
4 pages of mostly hate, although a few did praise the Nylons.
Some of the comments were "terrible accuracy, terrible reliability, jam-o-matic, couldn't hit a gallon paint can at 50 feet, won't hold zero even with the irons, have two in the back of my safe and can't sell them", etc.
One guy said he's a lefty and he has never seen a rifle that hit him with more powder particles than the Nylon 66.
Odd because I'm a lefty, and I've NEVER been hit with any debris from my Nylons.
(My first .22 was a hand me down 550-1 and it blasted my face with powder particles every time I shot it).
Those comments were the exact opposite of my experiences. Mine has never jammed, and with common HV hunting ammo like Golden Bullets, Mini Mags and RWS HVHP, mine will group 3/8" to 1/2" at 25 yards, and holds zero.
I have a Williams peep mounted on the cover's dovetail, and a higher Williams fiber optic front sight.
Don't even mention Golden Bullets outside of the Remington section here, or you will be flamed. I admit I didn't shoot many back when they had priming problems years ago, then I mostly shot Super-X or Mini-Mags.
But all the GB's I've shot in the last 2 years all go bang, and are not far behind the Mini-Mags in all my rifles accuracy wise.
My new (old) SA-22, BL-22 and Ruger Single Six do very well with Goldens.
