Marlin 22 at academy $140

I have 2 of them and I would buy another.

What broke said, I have one and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.

Thanks to all for the feedback.

Went and bought one this morning

Some claim they shoot better than ruger 1022. Only downside to sales is tube fed vs Rugers better magazine feed.

I consider that a plus, not a downside. No mag to lose, and it is easier to reload. I have an older Model 60 that's very dependable and more accurate out of the box than my Ruger 10/22.

Just my .02.

squirrel killing special. put a 3-9x40 on it and have fun!

Have had one for almost 10 years. Love the critter.

Marlin 60 22LR was my first firearm purchase with my own hard earned money as a kid. Paid about $80 in 1986. It's still reliable and in excellent condition.

I don't know why people shy away from a tube fed semi autos but they are pretty great in practice.

I don't have a Marlin semi-auto, but most of the folks I know who have them really like them. As far as tube fed 22's, I don't have a problem w/ them. In fact, tube fed has one advantage over rotary mag guns if one's shooting rounds that have a shorter over all length than the usual 22LR. The rotary mags in my 10/22's and 77/22 will NOT feed 22 shorts, longs, etc, but they usually WILL feed in a tube fed gun (except in a semi-auto as the round may not produce enough energy to cycle the action).
