I have had the Marlin Model 60 Glenfield for about 45 years holds 19 rounds.
Very Accurate.
My Father brought it for me when I was about 10 years old, grandfather used it for some years and returned it back to me.
It's a family rifle now. I am teaching my 11 year old nephew to shoot
it, he's pretty good too...
For the time being we are using it at the range at 100 yards. shooting 2 inch groups using bulk winchester 22 lr bullets....

Wow... The Marlin Model 60. I got one way back when I was 14 years old. Heck of a sweet rifle, but, was a little finicky with ammo and/or cleaning. Mine never really shot the bulk Winchester 22LR rounds well, and would start to jam after a while. It shot CCI's perfectly and very cleanly though. One thing I do remember about the Mod 60 is that it almost demanded that you keep it clean. I mean, even right there at the range. You gotta clean it after a max of 100 rounds, or you'll have problems.
Anyway, it's a great little rifle, and I have given mine to my daughter - who ironically, outshot me at the range with it, back when she was 16.

Ah the model 60 ...everything a Ruger 10/22 wished it was. I own both and there is no comparison although the Ruger has a huge following and a ton of aftermarket parts the Marlin in my opinion is a far better design.
The only plastic part in a Model 60 is the recoil buffer.

I had one in stainless and loved it. It shot very well with just about any ammo but it did prefer CCI or Remington ammo over the cheap Winchester stuff. When I first got it, it would gum up after about 50 rounds or so, but after a good thorough cleaning it would go a lot longer before getting sticky and getting misfires. A quick squirt of Remoil in the can every 100 rounds or so keeps the action sliding smooth. No 22. that I have every shot shoots as accurate or as reliable as my old single shot 22 bolt action does though.
