Hello all,

 

Been on the hunt for a new (cheap) 22 rifle and have been debating on the obvious choices (10/22, Model 60, Mark II, etc...) to get me setup for some plinkin'.

 

I ended up taking home the Marlin for all the reasons the sales person said were downsides. IE the tube mag and lack of accessories compared to the 10/22. I don't plan on doing anything to it because I like it just the way it is. I also like the tube mag for the same reason I own revolvers!

 

A nice example of the Model 60 at a great price. I paid $199.99 @ Cabela's.

Nice score, congrats. I have a bolt action Marlin that I am fond of.

Sometimes you just want a nice gun and all the accessories don't matter.

Enjoy.

Just under the 15 round capacity... good thing that thing can't take .22 Shorts.....

Congrats- let us know how it shoots!

Congrats, a gun that you can just shoot! There are modification or conversion kits for the Mod. 60 though.

I had a Marlin 6079, great rifle, sold it to my brother after getting it working perfectly.  Wish I didn't.
