WOW....I have one just about same vintage. Paid $99.95 at Kmart. But for such an inexpensive gun , it is a tack driver. I must have gotten lucky with the one I have , it makes very tight groups.

I agree , who would pay that kind of money , not like it is a collectable at all. They made tons of them.

cragar you didn't get all that lucky. Those were and still are some of the best shooting semi auto 22's ever made. They are a staple for many.

Got my first one for Christmas in 73 or 74. They were 60.00 bucks about anywhere you looked back then. I wish I had bought a few dozen. Only thing I didn't like about them were that they were for 22lr only. My dads sears 22 would shoot all three size shells. You could buy a model 60 to shoot shorts but they only shot the shorts.

Seriously?? The 60 was probably the most trouble free SA 22 ever built....much more so than a 10/22 or any of its clones.

Someone needs to learn how to clean a Marlin Mod 60. Out of the box they will out shoot a Ruger 10/22 all day. I have a few of both. For fun plinking its the Ruger. for head or eye shots on squirrels its the Marlin 60. They are more complicated inside than a 10/22, a couple teardowns, most learn them. But they do run flawlessly when kept clean. Stay away from dirty Remington bucket ammo.


you're only allowed so many sunrises... I aim to see every one of them!

Some newer models have last shot hold open, I thought. None of mine are that new. The best shooters have JM stamped on barrel just in frot of the receiver. Savell try the site "Rimfire Central" They have sub forums, and a extensive section on Marlin 60's

Savell I have the twin to that one. I like it for the squirrel on the stock, but it is the most inaccurate gun I have ever used. It is barely accurate enough to use as a dispatch weapon.

Push in or pull out on the charge handle. That locks them open. Does the back of the charge handle have a arrow on it?
