I finally made it to the range with my new to me Marlin 60 that I picked up from @dajonga and I like it! I told my wife I think she'll like it also, and so will our nieces & nephews. Reloading is slightly tedious, but on the upside that slows me down and helps me appreciate the range time.

I also sent the first 50 rounds downrange from my SIG P320, I like that too! I just wish ammo wasn't so darn expensive and scarce!

Thanks again to David for the smooth transaction of a fine rifle.

 

 

Glad you enjoyed it.

I taught all my kids to shoot on our Marlin model 60.

Still a favorite when we go plinking at the range...

Very, very happy to hear you are enjoying it. A Marlin 60 was my first rifle and they will always hold a spot in my heart. I woulda kept this one had I not stumbled into a near perfect long barrel, long tube, LSHO version last year. I really don't need 3 model 60 rifles. FYI...I never did have a look at the buffer...they tend to get brittle and break after a few years.

I wish you and yours many years of enjoyment.

I'm no expert, but it looks to be in pretty good condition to me.

 

 

That does look to be in good shape. I usually throw 1 in the Midway/Brownells cart just to add to the stash for my fleet of Marlin 60s/795s/70Ps.
