The age old question: Ruger 10/22 carbine or the Marlin 60.

I slightly prefer the Marlin if we are talking about one made before Remington bought them out. The Marlin is more accurate than a cheap semi auto really ought to be, and I personally like the tubular magazine.

I bought my Marlin because my Brother in Law asked me to see if I could find a mag tube insert for it. His son had had it over 20 years and was out in the woods and lost it.

NEVER cleaned once. Always worked....dumbass nephew just never knew what cleaning was. When I was finished with it (new insert, cleaning, etc.) I decided I had to get one of my own. $150 for one just like his. Can’t beat that.
