I get to reminiscing now and then and remember my Rem. Field Master in the all aluminum Buckskin model with the bronze andonizing and blond wood. The one I had was one of the most accurate rifles I ever had. I paid about $75 for it in 1963 and sold it six years later when I was in a bind for $25. I have regretted it ever since and tried to buy it back at $100 a few months later, but no sale. The guy passed and it went to his son who also wouldn't sell it. Every time I decide to find one I see them selling for $550- 600 now and it removes my nostalgia. Many of them had crooked barrels (possibly easily bent) and wouldn't shoot well. They were similar to the Nylon 66 and there was a steel barrel version with the aluminum receiver that was of course heavier. I need another 22 like a hole in the head, especially with ammo being like it is, but I still have that soft place for it and may someday find a cherry one that will make me do something foolish.
