I need help finding a gun i owned as a 15 year old and got rid of as an adult .

.22LR with a 15 round capacity around 1974 or so my father bought it new and gave it to me for Christmas .

The bullets loaded in the tube under the barrel 15 shots if i recall correctly .
if i seen a picture i may be able to recognize it . I may want to find it and buy one .
My Dad would have bought it at Sears , Monkey Wards or some other store similar but i don't know .

Remington Nylon 66? Black or brown plastic furnature?

It was the first real gun I shot as a kid in the mid60’s, and a few years ago I found a NIB perfect rifle dating to ~1967 that I added to my collection.

Maybe a Mossberg from Sears? I don't have any bigger photos, but this is tube fed with a Mannlicher style forend.

Google image search for Mossberg 22's

Semi-auto? Bolt action? Lever? I did a lot shooting as a kid with a Wards/Western Field Model 59A.

Sears sold everything they could get their hands on, to include cars and houses. I miss the old Sears.... an exciting trip for a 10 year old boy in the mid 60s.

Sounds more and more to me like a Model 59A - it was cloned and sold by Savage, Springfield, Western Field (we had two - the Springfield jammed all the time but the Western Field was pretty slick until it got really dirty.)
and probably a couple of others.
