Excellent points. To add to this, You can also get a cheap scope there as well. We have a walmart Bushnell scope on an old marlin 22lr and it works great.Wally World is hard to beat when it comes to ammo prices and if you live far enough away from NOLA you might even find some that still sell guns. You could get a 10/22 and a couple thousand rounds of ammo to go along with it cheaper than anywhere else locally.
I love my Marlin 60's, good guns and pretty accurate for what they are. Gave an older 17 rd capacity rifle to my son since he learned how to shoot on it. I've got a newer 14 rd capacity gun with a Simmons 22 Mag scope and it's a super fun gun. I love rimfire!Excellent points. To add to this, You can also get a cheap scope there as well.

One benefit of the Marlin is no maganzies to worries about. You load in the tube under the barrel.
Unfortunately they stopped making the Marlin Model 60 in 2020. Ruger bought Marlin and then announced they would stop production on them. I doubt you’ll find a new one anywhere but used ones pop up all the time in local pawn shops.Excellent points. To add to this, You can also get a cheap scope there as well.

I got lucky and purchased two that are considered the “most desirable” with 22” barrels and 18rd magazine tubes. Ones a 88 and the others an 87. I’ve always been a ruger 10/22 guy but no denying the Marlin is a ton of fun to shoot and just as accurate. My biggest gripe was it took longer to reload but I fixed that when purchasing a tube fed speed loader. It holds something like 150 rounds of 22lr and makes reloading ALOT faster.I love my Marlin 60's, good guns and pretty accurate for what they are.

I've been wanting one of them, but since I got the MP-5 22 I've been burning up my rimfire stash so fast I can hardly keep up! lolMy biggest gripe was it took longer to reload but I fixed that when purchasing a tube fed speed loader.

I apologize for the misunderstanding. While we do have a marlin right now, it won't accept a can nor will I entertain getting the barrel threaded.I think your can will block the tube mag for reloading. Do you want to remove the can for every reload? And I don’t know if marlin made a threaded barrel. If your shooting bulk ammo, I don’t think you’ll be super accurate.
Can any of you comment on the accuracy of the marlin 60 vs the average 10/22? I am awaiting my suppressor take stamp to come in and I want to get a semi auto 22lr
Id at least want it as accurate as our old Marlin. All we shoot is bulk ammo.
I'm not sure if it's worth it to spend $1400ish on a tacsol semi auto. I want a very light non take down rifle that I can put a very light scope on. The majority of off the shelf 10/22 don't look that appealing.
I have that same Marlin. Sweet shooting little gun. I now have a cz455. While I love it, I miss not having to worry about the mags.Excellent points. To add to this, You can also get a cheap scope there as well. We have a walmart Bushnell scope on an old marlin 22lr and it works great.

I have a couple of both and I notice no difference whatsoever shooting at 100 yards and closer. Depending on who you talk to some people will swear one is more accurate than the other but in my experience they are what and what.Can any of you comment on the accuracy of the marlin 60 vs the average 10/22?
