What's this?

The M66 is lighter

And I still hated carrying that thing. With my hunting gear and rifle already bogging me down, I don't notice it that much. The M66 does not have the heavy lug like the 686.

Hoping to inherit my FIL's Colt Trooper with the big 8 inch barrell. My son went to help him cut trees down, and his reward was shooting every single gun in his cabinet, including the Trooper and K22 revolver that I really, really covet. I'm so jealous.
