    Since we have a thread already going, I need anyones input regarding a 22lr marlin tube fed semi-auto. A quick look at a local pawnshop yielded one with a $60 tag on it. Does anyone know how these rifles perform, accuracy and reliability wise? The condition is about 85-90% all factory emblems on the wood is still there although faded. Is this a good buy for this amount?thanks,-Smooth

    Hey guys, How was your halloween? LOL. I've decided on getting the Ruger 10/22, then later, buying the Marlin Model 60. That allows meto get used to the 22 then be ready for a little bit of a bigger gun and kick. It'll take a while though, I only have $20 right now, so I don't expect to have a gun of my own for a while. But I will accept that gun you offered me .218!!!! That would be awesome!!! Got to go... I'll be on for a while tonight.ByeChris

    Smooth, that 22. Marlin would be a good buy at $60 if is in good shape. I own several Marlins some new some old. I like all of them but prefer the older ones. Every Marlin I've owned has been good shooters. Just keep them clean and you should not have any problems.goheels, I hope you enjoy that Ruger when you get it!!!! They also are good guns. The Marlin may be bigger but doesn't kick at all.

    goheels,we haven`t replied becuase you haven`t replied!I know a shop that has an older M-60 Marlin for $95.00,I could probably get it for $65.00 in one of my multi-gun deals which I often do with them.Hang in there,they are not hard to find..I bought one from the same place ,less than a year ago for $40.00.Don`t worry,we`ll get ya squared away!!!.218[This message has been edited by 218Beekeep (edited 11-07-2001).][This message has been edited by 218Beekeep (edited 11-07-2001).]

    Lots of folks make fun of Marlins as kid's guns, but my favorite carbine is my trusty Camp 9 (i.e. 9mm). I found a 30rd mag that makes for a lot of shooting!

    All right Old-soldier. I have a 9mm Marlin Camp Carbine too and I think they're great guns.Where'd you find the 30 round mag? I have several S&W 15 rd. mags that fit. I'd like to have some with more capacity.

    Hi guys, I'm back again. Whats going on lately? I've pretty much decided that I just won't get the Ruger 10/22 at all and just go straight for the Marlin Model 60. It has more power, and I'll beable to still use it when I'm older. (size wise) Also, when I buy a gun, I like to buy it new. So I probably won't buy a old or used gun. I just like new (like within 10 years) but not used. Also, on the Model 60, is there anyway to get like a magazine for that? That would be cool to have it hold ...30. How much do you guys think it would cost for a new model 60? Talk to you later.Chris

    Well I can't wait for that first report from the firing range Goheels, let me know when you do get it and I'll send ya some cash for ammo. Good choice, I have a Glenfeild that is older than me, the exact same rifle as the 60, and has been well used, for hunting, and plinking, I think you'll be happy.

    No, I'm not changing my name. Our school name is Seahawks, but the Heels part of my name is for the college I want to go to. University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. So I won't change my name. Ya, I'm not sure if im going to play JV or just the middle school team. I'm too small for varsity even though I would play a lot because I can shoot better than most the people on that team, and still too short for JV, I wouldn't start on either, maybe JV. but on the middle school team, Ill start and probably have 25 points and 8 assists per game. Thats about what I averaged last year, and I'm playing in the same league with 1 year of my ability on my side. So we'll see how it goes.

    Hey heels, I've got a Marlin Model 60 and it is the same caliber as the 10/22. Both are .22 caliber rifles. The 10/22 is probably considered the better of the 2 but the Model 60 has been around a long time. I have one and it has the tube magazine under the barrel. I can fit about 16 or 17 rounds in it. With the 10/22 you can get much larger magazines. Good luck with whichever one you land.
