I bought a Model 60 in stainless from a pawn shop recently. I think I posted some pics at the time. It's the long barrel version but with the shorter mag tube, soI can confirm that they do exist! I'm very pleased with it, lots of fun!!

Ok, I know it's been a long time... but I finally found time to get out and try out my Marlin 60 after installing the Tech Sights.

Wow, what an improvement the peep style sights are over the ramp style sights! Surprisingly, the Tech Sights were dead on accurate and did not need any adjusting whatsoever.

The following picture shows my first fifteen shots using the Tech Sights. Distance from shooter to target was about 60 feet.

As you can see there are only 8 holes but I fired 15 shots. I didn't miss with any shot. Many went in the same holes!! I was not bench rested, just standing. I have a sling mounted on the Marlin 60, but did not use it to steady my aim. I shot fairly rapid fire (less than 30 seconds for the entire 15 rounds) and did not worry about my breathing. Had I done some of these things, I'm certain my grouping would have been much tighter yet still.

If you know what your doing you can get a used one for under 100 dollars and they will shoot. :patriot:
