Many years ago, I can't even remember who I bought it from, I picked up a M66-1 2 1/2. Added secret service grips and that's that. It's zero-zero in tolerance. That is it's rock tight when the cylinder is shut. Shoots dead on with 145 gr Silvertips. That and my CS-1 M686 3 incher are my favorite wheelguns, even better than my Speed Six. Both unfortunatly are safe queens now. My shooter is a M625 3 inch .45 ACP.
And yes, the prices just go up and up. I picked up a Smith M10, virtualy mint, made in 1949-1950, for $300. Now the books pretty much say $400 or more. I remember when five screw M10s, like most other M10s, were $200 buck guns, but only if in real good condition. Same goes for 30/30s.
And Rocket, you will just love the M66, at least with .38 spl. ammo. Full magnums can be a handfull though!
