My father had one of the nylon 66 that had spent its entire life in his pickup. After we moved from the farm it continued to ride in his truck for four decades. About ten years ago he traded trucks and was half way home before he remembered his .22 was in his old truck. Called the salesman and told him to get it for him. He'd pick it up in the morning. That .22 must have traveled a million miles in pickups. Works every pull of the trigger like clock work. The scope cost a lot more than the gun in his case. Inside a hundred yards it hit everything.
