I have a Marlin Model 60. I believe I got it Christmas of 96, wow, thats 8 years ago, I am 21 now. I don't shoot it as much as I used to since I started reloading for centerfire, and started jumping on various deals.

One thing that I have noticed and it seems that other people have already mentioned is that the Model 60's can jam or stovepipe fairly easily. I have to keep mine VERY clean and it REQURIES high velocity ammo out of it. I have shot the Winchester Wildcats, Reminton 36 grain HP, Winchester Super X 32 gr HP, the Federal 36 gr HP, the CCI Velocitor, and the CCI Stinger. Honestly, the Wildcats and CCI rounds have been equally reliable. I keep my guns clean, so those rounds NEVER caused me problems. The Rems, Federals, and Super X's have caused me several jamming problems.
