This is almost one of those Ginger or Mary Ann debates.  These two are clearly the two most popular 22lr semi-autos , but with rumors of Marlin maybe calling it quits. I can't help but wonder has the Model 60 lost some of its followers? With it popularity in years past how would Remington even consider letting it or the 39a , or the 336 line end ?  Anyway I own and love both rifles. Just wondering how some of you feel? |

I have 2 of the Marlin semi- autos, and I do not own a 10-22 but I have shot one enough tho know that I think it is a much better gun. I it is so compact and handles very nice.
May favorite rifle that I own is a Ruger 10-77 bolt action .22mag. It is built with much the same feel as the 10-22 but it is a bolt action.

I like the semi-auto pistols from Ruger and Browning as much as the rifles. I have a 7-shot bolt action Marlin rifle and a Browning Buckmark .22 semi. I do not own the long gun semis, but have shot them. If you make me pick, I'll go Marlin.

I gotta be honest fellas . i am a lover of lever guns.  Especially in the 22 cal variety. However when it comes to semi auto 22's I was raised on the Glenfield version of a Marlin model #60. I got it for Christmas when I was 11 years old and it has served me well. I not only lasted my youth , but survived 3 children, and who knows i may even teach my grand-kids with that is if I last long enough . Some people don't care for the tube mags, on the 60's, but it can 18 plus 1. ;D All this being said I also have a Ruger 10/22 which has been serving me well for a few years now with no issues. Both rifles seem to be fairly with good groups coming from plain bulk Federal 22lr ammo. |

I have a 10-22 and like it pretty well. It has a huge selection of aftermarket parts. Everything from barrels,stocks and clips to a machine gun conversion kit. Plus it is a pretty well built rifle. That federal ammo definitely lacks in grouping consistency as well as firing consistency, but its cheap. Plink 500 rounds away for 15 bucks or so. Marmot |

Marmot; Federal makes an "Auto-match ammo " now in a bulk pack 325 rounds for $13 or so at Wally world. It seems to be pretty good ammo and groups with more consistancy than any other bulk ammo that I have found. For that matter it does better than any 22lr that I have used except for the high end sub-sonic target match rounds. It does not come in a copper jacket variety so you have to watch for wax build up. I have not noticed any but then I'm a bit of a clean freak when it comes to my rifles.  Tentwing |

I have a Marlin 7 shot bolt action and a Buckmark pistol. I recall emptying my cousins tube feed remington as a kid and later my buddy's Mark I Ruger on every can I could find. Hard to pick a favorite and glad I don't have to. Love 'em all!
