I still have my Nylon 66. Bought it from a high school friend 1967. He had just graduated and was entering the US Navy.

I'd always wanted a Nylon 66 but my parents wouldn't let me have a gun as a kid. I was greatly disappointed when production ceased.

[@forevercontrarian3517]

Great post! I got my first as a little kid, when it was gifted to me by a neighbor. They sold at Sears for $50 OTD! Since then it has taken me forever to get near perfect ones for each of my grandkids. A beautiful little weapon, at about 4 lbs, and nearly indestructible. The market in 1949 was trying to get these in the hands of trappers. Fits perfectly, barrel down in a back basket, and the top tang ambidextrous safety makes it the perfect outdoors tool.

His "regular" glasses are bifocals I bet, and his shooting glasses are for far sightedness only. Or, maybe the bifocal is located in a different spot, to see the sights better. Not sure..... But if he says the reason he missed is because he doesn't have his shooting glasses, I believe him! lol

Oh lord no, I wasn't doubting his ability, because in my book he is the best there is, I was just wondering what the difference was in the glasses.
