marlin model 60
- Thread starter roblack
- Start date
Tube-fed version of the Marlin 795 I own..which is box-mag-fed. Great rifles for the money, and the only semi/rimfire I own now. The sights on the newer Marlins (including mine, which is maybe 5-6 years old) tend to be crooked..but I'm almost 50=scope anyway. 
The triggers on Marlin semis seem to benefit from some trigger work, the MCARBO kit is the most affordable, DIY option I'm aware of.

I would rate the older ones better than newer (based on the remlin woes)
I wore the firing pin out on mine ( no biggie) and the plastic trigger guard can be prone to cracking.
The tube mag is a pain to load/ unload but carries much nicer on a sling than long mag fed .22's

I have a wood stock blued version with Tech peep sights. Sounds silly but kinda looks like a mini M1 Garand or a least reminds me of M1 Garand. I prefer the tube mag for plinking, it's easier to load and like on Sunday I fired off a bulk box of Federal 525 rds in about 2 hours and no sore fingers afterwards.
Marlin 60 is the best selling .22 rifle in the world. It out sells Ruger and predates their 10/22 (1964). Advantages of the older models such as the Glenfield over the new 60 is that it holds more rounds 15-18 depending on model vs 11 and the reciever is made of steel and not alloy. Have both and I feel like I have to baby the new 60 in the bush because I don't want to ding up the receiver.
