The Marlin 60 is one of the most accurate 22 autos made.
I say that because in my opinion bolts are more accurate than autoloaders.
The 60 is not ammo fussy it eats anything you feed it.
Forget the red dot is you are even thinking about hunting with it.
The red dot is just too hard to locate and center.
Put a cheap 22 scope on it like the BSA 22 Special.
The 60 has been in continous production since 1960 over 11 million were produced in the first 40 years. Must be something right about them.
If there is a weak spot in them it's the nylon recoil buffer.
They break where the pin goes thru that holds them in place. The good news is they are easy to get and replace. Never buy a used one without checking it.0 -
There are probably more Marlin model 60's in the US than there are AK 47's in the middle east.
The 60 is a venerable gun. Its earned its place. If you don't grow up shooting a 60, then there ain't something right...
Marlin made quite a few different model's using the same action as the 60. They have tube feed, magazine feed, various stocks, various barrel lengths.
Nothing is more fun then spending $20 on two bricks of .22lr (1000rds), spending all day at the range, and all night spraying the inside of that 60 with MPRO7 trying to get all that lead out...
Take a small screwdriver, it comes in handy when the gun jams after it gets really dirty.
I have a marlin 60, I've shot so many rounds thru, I've replaced parts in, ironed the chamber, and the aluminum reciever had a really bad looking worn spot where ejected cases hit. Its probably had a couple hundred thousand rounds thru it. Seriously. And it still runs.0 -
"If you don't grow up shooting a 60,then there ain't something right."
Gosh,I grew up w/a Stevens Mod.44,then a Remington 241 and then a Ruger 10/22.
Didn't get my first 60(actually it's a model 5) until a couple of weeks ago.[:(]
At age 50,I guess that just means I ain't growed up yet.[:D][:D]
I feel so deprived.[:(][V]
Good shooter though.[^]

Westlund: Don't think that anyone answered your question on date of manufacture. One subtracts the first two digets of the serial number -19- from 100 and you get 81. 1981 is the date of manufacture. This worked for the model 70HC that I had owned. Maybe for the Model 60 as well??

Yes, it works on modern production rifles from 1973 on.
