The main difference I think is that the 60J has a hog back stock and open sights, while the 66 has a straight stock and no open sights. Never seen a 66 in person, but would expect everything else to be identical.
Their actions are very very tight, in a good way. Surprising it has one of the most solid and precise half cock I have seen, rimfire or centrefire.

Thank u for your reply. Interesting to hear you say about the half cock. I shoot krico's and can honestly say I have never used a safety catch in my entire life. It’s half cock unless I am ready to pull the trigger. Krico have a nice definite half cock. My plastic m18 Mauser does not and it pisses me off. Thanks for the info re weihrauch. I had wondered if it was just a wood thing.
