Thank you all for your replies. I will keep this information in mind.
For the time being this is all moot now. I finally got a chance to return to the gun shop and the model 66 was gone. Someone else thought it was a good deal also.

I grabbed one of the new model 66's when they hit the street a few years back. Whoever set up the production for that gun was on top of their game. After a new trigger return spring and a new hammer spring, wow, it's a shooter, drops RCBS 180 gr gas checked semi wadcutters in a six inch bullseye in nice round groups. No fliers. Out shoots my 686 Plus by a little. Holds nicer too.
