The age old question: Ruger 10/22 carbine or the Marlin 60.
In pure numbers it’s 5.7 million sold vs 11 million (Marlin). I have both, actually. The Marlin has its great points as does the Ruger 10/22. I’ve really tricked out my 10/22 and I like the large magazines Ruger makes for them.
On the Marlin, I’ve only added a specially mounted sling. I like the tube giving the Marlin a traditional rifle slim feel....
At this point, I like both of them pretty much the same. Tough question that’s hard to answer for every case.
But the Ruger 10/22 has so many ways that it can be modified... Hundreds of companies that make barrels, triggers, furniture, etc., so that it will be as accurate and reliable as a Remington 522 Speedmaster.

I own one of each. I bought my Marlin-Glenfield 60 in 1964 for $45 new at J C Penney. I bought by Ruger 10/22 in 1984 for about $200. Both are great rifles. I’ve noticed that my model 60 holds 5 or 6 rounds more than the newer ones though. I still like them both equally well.
