Originally supposed to be called the Remington Model 555 and nicknamed the “Bearcat,” but Remington quickly realized that Ruger had introduced a gun with the same name in 1958.

I dropped many squirrels with my 66. It was the version they called Apache Black with a black stock, white accents, and nickel metal. I thought it was the most beautiful rifle in the world at the time. My hunting buddy called it the pimp rifle.

The retail price in January 1959 was $49.95.
In 1959, Remington still had two other autoloading .22s on the market: the older Model 550-1 and the newer Model 552. The Model 550-1 sold for $46.75, and the Model 552 sold for $52.25. Therefore, the Nylon 66 acted as a middle of the line gun at $49.95.

The end result was that it became the most successful .22-cal. rifle Remington has ever made, with total production of more than 1,000,000 by 1991 when the Nylon 66 was discontinued.

Knew lots of rural texans that would either dove hunt or deer hunt from schools in the ‘80-90s

A Few principals back then used the skybox of the football stands as the deer blind 🤣
