IMO they are lemons and cherrys. Seems you get one that works with most any 22 ammo. Then you get one that doesn't seen to like anything. I have bought 3 or 4 of the model 60s over the years for the kids. As soon as they learned they had better luck with a bolt or a Ruger 10/22 the 60s were traded up.

Great, as long as you buy one that was built 20+ years ago!

Okay, cuz my bro in law wants to trade me a 30/06 Remmy 700 (donor action for me!!) for a .22, but for the price of a 10/22 I'd pretty much be better off just buying a bare action...so for getting shot maybe 20 times a year do you think the Savage would be worthy?

I have a mdl 60 and it works excellent. I also bought my daughter a clip fed Savage and it is a very good shooting gun. The stock on it is pretty cheap, but the rest of the gun is well made.

What? He is going to trade a 30-06 for a 22 and you think you would be better off buying a 700 action because it costs the same as a 10/22?

Do you speak English?

Try it again, Sherlock.

Well yeah...a 10/22 will be $300-350 after FFL transfer fees, background check etc...remember I'm in California. I don't care about the rifle, I only need the action...so instead of doing transfers on two rifles, I could just buy an action and have it sent direct to my smith without doing a transfer...thats where the CHEAP .22 comes in!

Buying an action requires the same FFL paperwork as a rifle.

True...but would only have to do it once...

So back to the original question...Savage/Marlin .22's?
