My Dad has a Marlin Model 60 he has had for 40 years they are great guns and very accurate. I personally prefer the Ruger 10/22. It has a reputation of being tough as nail and mine is very accurate. The marlin is tube feed and makes unloading annoying. The Ruger though has a magazine and just pops out. I have heard to many negative reviews on the Remington 597 to endorse it.
what have you heard bad about the remington 597?
Jamming lots of jamming. Every 2 to 3 shots. Just google Remington 597 reviews.
Also check out the 22's at rimfirecentral.com. I have a Remington552 Speedmaster22 (great 22) and a Marlin 39A Golden lever action. Look around for a 39A, they are a awesome 22. I also have a Remington 597 in 17HMR and haven't had any problems with it. I think some of the 22 597's had some problems with the magazines....can't remember?? Lots of info on the 597 at that web site though.
