Not in the last few years but about 10 years ago I bought each of my older sons one. Both have been very reliable and accurate enough.

Since Marlin was sold, I wouldn't bother. There are plenty of old ones out there for good prices. If you need a new, auto 22 then the Ruger is the clear winner.

new ones i cant speak for but the model 60 is my most carried long gun. Its with me most yr round. You can find the older ones used for $65-100 with a little looking. I bought 2 off of gunbroker from local guys both SS, one looked brand new for $99 and the other was 75.

I guess I'll give a new one a try before long. Thanks for the replies.

I got a new one in today for a little work. Nothing wrong with the gun though...After a quick once over, it seems to be as well made as any of the older ones I've seen...You won't have to install a feed throat conversion on a new one either, like you would if buying one too old.

That's good to hear. Thanks for the info, Wes.

Bought one last year and the quality has went south, no blueing, plastic trigger guard, but other than that it shoots ok. A used Remington speedmaster would be my first choice if I was wanting a tube fed gun.
If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong.

I don't think I have ever seen a trigger guard for a Marlin or Glenfield model 60 that wasn't plastic I can't saying anything bad about the bluing on the old or new ones. They one I have now looks good other than the receiver which is painted just as they have always been.

Doc, the one I bought has a dull matte finish, not a higher luster blueing like the older ones, I pretty sure the older ones (80’s) models were aluminum trigger guards. Nonetheless it functions fine.

The bad....it ain’t a Ruger 10/22
The good...it ain’t a Rem 597

I have a couple of older ones, long and short models. They both shoot all day long, and I like the tube feed. Of course I have a bunch of 10/22’s also........

I finally bought it. I’ve only shot it a few times, but it seems to be very accurate. I killed 2 ground hogs this afternoon with it. I’m liking it so far.

I grew up with a Marlin 60 pointed at turtle heads. The only thing I don't like about tube fed rimfires is trying to clear jams and I can't just drop the magazine out. That said I have owned many as an adult and still enjoy them.

Added another groundhog this afternoon. Currently, that's 3 shots, 3 groundhogs for my new Model 60.
