too_pointer Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Hello all. I'm going to buy a .22 rifle soon. I want something in semi-auto, good price, and light weight. Looking on line, the Marlin # 60, fits all my needed. Although every site I looked in, were all out of about all their guns LOL. Anyone in here own one, or in the past ? I would like opinions please. I want to stay under $200 if possible. Any other advice on any make, model auto or lever action. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Ruger 10-22 comes to mind. One of, if not the most, popular .22's out there. It is in your price range and resale is good. Nothing wrong with the Marlin though. Mossberg is good also. Alot of reasonably priced used stuff out there too. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too_pointer Posted February 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks for your reply. I have had a 10-22 in the past, and the stock did not fit me at all. I layed away today, the Marlin 60, in black synthetic stock. My gun store will sell me one for $165. It is the lightest at 5 pounds. It's been awhile since I have had a .22, really looking forward to getting it to the range. I'm thinking on putting on a Aim point, or something similar, if I can find one that mounts on the top of rim fires rifles. I'm concerned about the talk of maybe outlawing semi-auto's that would hold more than 10 shells. This rifle holds 15 shells in the tube. too_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 I love a 22! I think I own 6 in all, very fun to make an all day plinking trip with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Givan Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I have owned 2 Marlin 60s and still have one of them, you wont be disappointed. They are sweet shooting guns, I have the wood stock so its a bit heavier than the one your getting. I have a 4X scope on it. A squirrels worst nightmare. Only advice I have is to stay away from bulk ammo, except for maybe Federal. They seem to not cycle as well, and you might get a jam or failure to extract occasionally. I like to use CCI ammo if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
