Marlin mod 60 missing??????!!!!

When I was 10 years old my father gave me a ruger 10/22. He taught me how to shoot but he didn't show me how to clean it. Over the next 20 years I fired tens of thousands of rounds but only cleaned it a few times. Then I joined the military and cleaning is a part of shooting so over the next 20 years I fired thousands of rounds with regular cleaning. Over 40 years I don't recall any problems with the rifle, no jams or breakage with the rifle, I did have many problems with the magazines. I had to replace the mag at least a dozen times. Even though I love the 10/22 now I have a marlin 60 tube fed.

That rotary magazine is a PAIN to load. Your fingers will be sore in hurry. Also, can't beat my Marlin tube fed for accuracy!

Still a great pump gun even though it is mostly plastic, kzread.infoUgkxh4su9YgU1tWmjikirWcKJbjsFLEU62Bc but with care it will last a long time. It would be neat if Crosman would make a commemorative version of this with real wood stock, but of course it would weigh more and cost more, but hey, it would be cool. The included scope is more of a toy, but it does work for backyard plinking. I prefer to use pellets for greater accuracy, but BBs are just as good for plinking. This is not a Red Ryder folks; fully pumped it is 3 times the power of a Red Ryder and can be dangerous if not handled properly. Be safe out there.

My Pop brought me a Ruger 10/22 in 1968 after I passed the NRA safety course. Incredible rifle and I still shoot it today. It is the King of semi .22 calibers...Thank you for this viseo and your wonderful knowledge...

Very nice as always. Also brought back a lot of memories. We got my dad (born 1909) a Belgian made Browning 22 auto for Christmas in the early 60's. He'd had a model 24 Remington in 22 short when he was a kid on the farm and often talked about how much he liked it. He learned to be quite an amazing moving target shot, having once had the opportunity to shoot with Ad Topperwein. Your nylon 66 also brought back a lot of memories of hunting in the east Texas piney woods near Huntsville, TX when I was in college in the 60's. Great job and thanks so much!!

I grew up with a Remington 552 Speedmaster. Thousands of Rounds through it. Love it still.

There was an outback gunsmith and inventor in Oz in the 70’s who took the Ruger 10 22 to another level of accuracy, (mainly for pro. Rabbit shooters). He installed a threaded Shilen barrel, a Canjar trigger , excellent bedding and topped it with a Kahles scope. In his opinion the 10 22 was a good rifle but Ruger cut a few corners, for example the pinned barrel and the trigger. He showed me one that was a hire -out rifle ; it had been re-chambered 3times due to throat erosion from thousands of shots, (the muzzle end of a .22 doesn’t wear much due to lack of intense heat) and now the barrel was down to the legal limit in Oz of 16 inches. I always wanted one but in the end settled for a Brno,(CZ). with a Leopold 4x.

I recently obtained a Ruger 10/22. A great-looking gun, and it fits me perfectly; neither too long or too short.

The best .22 is my (not "the", but "my") Marlin model 60 with Williams fine-adjust target aperture sights. It's the best because if I have a pole or a tree to hold it against, I can hit a quarter at 25 yards. Nothing else matters.

A quarter at 25 yards is a pretty easy shot with any rifle that isn't garbage.

@@jjohnston94 not much anymore. I'm a lefty and can't shoot irons with my left anymore. Scope only. My right eye is good though. I've learned to shoot right handed with open sights over the last year or so and it surprisingly feels natural now. I should still go get some corrective lenses though probably lol.

Try the split bullet trick shot put a bottle on the fence wire on both sides of the fence post and a dime edge way in a crack in the post shoot the dime edge break both bottles

This was fun! Thanks !

Another fantastic video , thank you so much

My second rifle is a Rossi 62, never thought any better. Shoots all lr and even the colibri very quiets. Use to scare off feral critters, no harm done, doesn’t penetrate many things. And it’s sturdy to do a few slam fires, impresses great grand kids, even the 30 y/o!!! My first was a Sears semi bought in 1964. Used it up until the sear was smooth. Gave to my s-In law. Next Rémy 581s,1 597, 1 597m,, etc.

The Ruger10/22 is a world wide legend. It leaves the others well behind. They can be pimped up. They are just a fantastic, useful .22. It is a shame you can't convert them to a .22 Magnum. They are the nearly perfect small cal. rifle.

I got one for my son for his first gun and it has been very unreliable. I don’t know if we just got a bad one or what but we rarely make it through a rotary magazine without a jam and rarely get more than two shots off with the 25 round magazines. I probably should have returned it but I let time pass and just sort of forgot about it. We’ve recently pulled it out again to have something else to shoot at the range and it was more frustrating than fun. Yet everyone talks about how reliable they are so I have to assume I just got a bad one.

@@jeffallen6754 Thanks Jeff. I do have a bit of an update. I was thinking about changing out the extractor and while I had the bolt out I gave everything a good oiling. I then put it away for a while and then another need arose to have it at the range. That time at the range it worked better than ever. All this was spread over a long time so I can remember but I may have also cleaned and lubed the magazines. I haven’t had it out again since then but at least it was working well last time we needed it. I think a good cleaning and high qualities lube really helped.

Speedmaster or Model 60, my favorites.

Its always good to hear from you mate, we like straight shooters here in Australia (pun?) So you look after Yourself because if your show wasn't around you would be greatly missed!!

Well, my cents . I have a marlin 60 with micro groove and for the money it is hard to beat . Ruger10/22 is nice in part because of so many accesories you can get , I had a remington speedmaster that was a gem with takedown and stock loading . I guess those are favorites in that order .

Kept waiting for the Marlin model 60 or the Glenfield...owned one for years, very accurate and never jammed. Tube fed, more rounds than a Ruger and IMHO just as accurate. Great video looking forward to the rest of it

The model 60 whether from Marlin or Glenfield was far more accurate than the 10/22. To equal the Marlins you would have to go with an aftermarket barrel on the Ruger.

I too prefer the Marlin 60. Good, solid, dependable.

Quite a comprehensive video as always. I never went small game hunting when I was younger and I’m now getting into it in my 20s. 22s are a whole collecting niche themselves. I finally picked up a tc contender with a 22 or barrel and 222 barrel, I went back to the same shop and picked up a 410 barrel. I need to get on patreon soon

I have a Remington 550-1 and I love it. It shoot all the sizes interchangably. The only one time I had a feeding problem was when I bought Winchester 22 LR ammo that was too big in diameter on the lead. They replaced 2500 shells for me because of that!...Cheers, Jim.................... Good video!!!!!!!!!!!

My first 22 was a Marlin 60c wood stock. First time shooting it at a boy scout outing. With a cheap scope was able to sight it in to hit bottle caps at maybe 20 yards. Not sure of exact distance. great rifle.

I had a Remington semi I bought from my brother for 50 bucks . He disabled the safety cause someone told him it would improve the trigger pull so I used it for several years with no safety . I told my freind to not in front of me even though I was very safe with it . The gun was very accurate and reliable. I used to shoot the primers out of shotgun shells . I also shot pigeons out of the air with bird shot St. close range I liked the gun very much . But I wasn't comfortable using it with no safety . So I sold it to a classmate who lived at his fathers junkyard

Cool 22 collection 👍 always good to hear from you

Great vid thank you very much

I'm glad you made a video too. It has been some time between videos--I hope to view more of them on your KZread site.

I'm quite familiar with quite a few of those as my best friend's dad was kind of a collector/dealer up here in Saskatchewan. We shot lots of varmints with several of them but as the economy grew and my father's generation had a bit more disposable income around so did the popularity of the 10/22. It's by far and away the most popular firearm in rural Saskatchewan now.

My grandfather's old Stevens 87A is my favorite. There's a bunch of fine 22's in this category but my choice is purely sentimental. Great video, glad to see the Stevens!

Mike, great video. Love 22 rifles. I have a custom 22 built by Lenny who owns Spud9 Gunworks here in Florida. He is a retired career firefighter and owns a small shop on the beach. Great guy, does wonderful work. Your overview of 22s was perfect. I also have a Remington Speedmaster 241 shorts only that was made in the 1950s. It was my grandfathers. I learned to shoot it in the California Mojave desert. Hang in there, all the best.

Mike, GREAT VIDEO!!! My measly 22 collection is no match for yours! But I love them all, and they represent many hours of fun and relaxation. I’ve never heard of many of the ones in your collection but they are each a work of art and I can see so much quality there. I love the Browning auto-22’s and all of the Marlins. The Ruger 10-22’s are remarkable! Oh, and I have a Remington Nylon 66 as well. I wish I lived closer to you so we could sit and discuss these wonderful rifles! Thank you for the in-depth looks at your babies!!!
