Got a used Marlin 60 a few years back for my then 9 y/o daughter. After some extensive repetition and safety training with a BB gun she graduated to the Marlin... Needless to say that plinker is a tack driver and she (and I) couldn't be happier with it...speedsix wrote:flb_78 wrote:The Marlin Model 60 is the number 1 selling 22 rifle in the world.
I have both a Model 60 and a Ruger 10/22 and the Model 60 is a better shooter for me.
I prefer the tube style magazine over the detachable and with a Spee-D-Loader, it's fast to reload.
You should also look at a Henry lever action. The nice thing about a lever action is that it can shoot 22lr, 22long and 22short. The 22short out of a Henry is quieter than a BB gun and it excellent for use to introduce younger folk into the sport of shooting.
...almost twice as many Marlin 60s as 10/22s...and the Henrys are smooth rifles!!!
