Marlin Model 60 - Why I Had To Have One

[@rcjb]

Sir. I bought my first one today. A 1985. I am 68 years old. I hope to enjoy it for many years. Today was a Great day in any case. God Bless you.

[@Icarryone]

Thank you.

[@frickenbored]

My grandpa bought a model 60 back on the 70s and ever since i was a little kid i would see it locked up in his pole barn. When i got old enough he taught me how to shoot it. Now that I'm 29 my grandpa sadly has dementia. I took the gun, completely restored it, fixed all the scratches and dings in the wood stock and re-stained it. Now its locked away as a reminder of all those good times. It will never leave my collection.

[@Icarryone]

It's simply amazing how so many people can directly relate to your story. In a lot of ways, its very similar to mine. I like to think that, in the long run, our fondest memories help define us.

[@topturretgunner]

You hang on to that Model 60 and cherish those memories my friend. That is a touch stone to your grandpa. ❤️🤗

[@coreypolite9831]

this man could talk about grass growing and I would absolutely listen to the whole story.

[@Icarryone]

👍😉

[@billsexton8073]

I've sold some to pay bills, I know that regret. You honor your father with this story. Thank you!

[@Icarryone]

Thank you - 👍😊

[@StrictlyPlinking]

Model 60 was my first firearm back in 1984! I sold that rifle and bought an M1 Carbine. I recently bought a current production Model 60 just for nostalgia's sake. Very accurate with a scope! Great backstory.

[@Icarryone]

Yes, they are very accurate. Thanks for watching.

[@Stangchild1]

My 1st firearm of any kind back in 1981. Still have it , still shoots perfectly!

[@jamesvieira8713]

loved your story, I still have the old Marlin 60 my dad and I picked up on sale at kmart in 1977 for 35 dollars. the gun is still in great shape and I gave it to one of my sons a few years back but it's still in one of our safes. he knows better than sell it. :-)

[@Icarryone]

I know what you mean James.

[@terryboyd9875]

Been enjoying mine for 30 plus years. Marvelous Marlin Rifle

[@Icarryone]

For the money, you can't beat a Model 60.

[@01surge24]

Yup...I’ve had mine since 1977 ..brand new she was...I’ll hand it down to my sons some day...all the memories behind that stock...it’s priceless to me....thanks for the vid.

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure Donald.

[@laurogarza4953]

My family too had a share of Marlin 22s. My oldest brother was given a Glenfield Model 60, exact in appearance to yours, when we were children in the 1970s. It was the first firearm I ever fired. I was later awarded my own 22 but it was a Marlin Model 101. Later, the 1990s, I came by a rare Marlin 22 M-1 Carbine which is a model 60 with a 18" barrel and a wooden shroud over the barrel giving the impression of a military M-1 Carbine. I loaned it to my father who appreciated the high mounted sights but it was stolen from his pickup some dark night long ago. Basically, any outdoorsman knows that no matter how many rifles and long guns you may own, you MUST have a good repeating 22 for general purposes in your collection and likely to have it with you anytime you go afield. No? Thus, in the late 2000s, I found some on sale at Carter's Country in Houston and bought one for the low price of just $100! Like that Marlin M-1 carbine, it didn't function correctly, but unlike the M-1 model, this brand new rifle was returned to the factory and was set right. I have, like you, affixed a nice Redfield four power wide field scope and see through rings. I intend to fire it with high and hyper velocity cartridges for predators and nuisance animals on the ranch. I have the 101 loaded with CCI Low velocity 22 Longs for rabbits and squirrels. You know what? That old single shot 101 turned out to be a tack driver. So is my newer Model 60. Do you agree that a outdoorsman, like a good pocket knife, has to have a good repeating 22?

[@Icarryone]

Yes, I agree. Every well rounded firearms collection should have a good .22 semi-auto in it.

[@cayminlast]

Excellent story, many of us also have a story of our first .22 rifle, you have made my day.

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure.

[@brianhoyer2232]

I have a similar story about a Remington Model 572. My first rifle. I now also own a Marlin Model 60 and can't say which is my favorite. Depends on the day. Thanks for sharing this story. I really enjoyed it!

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure!

[@dj3114]

Enough reviews are available. I enjoyed the story.

[@Icarryone]

Thank you Donald.

[@thelongranger55]

Icarryone hey really like your rifle , I’m sure you do , but do you still have this beauty? , and have you herd of the DIP trigger and charge Handel ? , diversified innovative products is the company who makes the adjustable trigger , it really made my marlin 60 become a much more dependable rifle with the durability of the machined aluminum trigger and trigger guard assembly , and the helical charge Handel just makes it easier on my index finger when I load the rifle , the stock bolt Handel always hit a pressure point or pinched my nerve in my index finger when I grab it , I have damaged nerves in my right hand that’s why , I recommend you take a look at the company at the least and maybe do a video about the products they offer for the marlin 60

[@davehanson381]

My model 60 was the first gun I ever owned. I bought it, used and abused, for $50.00 from a local pawnshop. Now, 37 years and many guns later, it's still my favorite rifle! Thanks for your memories...

[@Icarryone]

😎👍

[@Kris_at_WhiteOaksFarm]

Didn't need a review, I own a Model 60. Loved the story. Well told. Thank you.

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure Kris - thanks.

[@TheRealCobraBurnout]

Awesome story and nice rifle. Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@Icarryone]

Thanks buddy.

[@jamiecowan170]

Man, I hear you. I bought a 1977 Les Paul for $250 in 1987. Got a speeding ticket in 1988, had to sell that beauty to pay a $210 ticket. Today, that guitar is worth 2k. I think about it every day. I hate myself.

[@Icarryone]

I hear you too, Jamie. I know exactly how that feels.

[@paulmoss7940]

Any kin to Nic? He can sing!

[@freedomisntfree2089]

A model 60 was the first gun I ever owned, I still have it and after all these years I still absolutely love it.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@minuteman5369]

That's a awesome testimony of the first automatic 22. Rifle of America's older youth, and hunting generation. I've never shot one that wasn't accurate, or failed me in any way of shooting it.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@ksa5128]

This goes to show dont beat yourself up if you have to sell things. You can always buy another and it does feel good. Great story!

[@Icarryone]

👍👍

[@everyguy]

I just bought 10-year old used one at a gun show for $125. I put a $28 Chinese scope from Amazon on it and took it out to to the range to zero it. Literally quarter-inch groups (all three shots touching in a pretty triangle at 25 yards). I couldn't be more pleased. I bought it for hunting squirrels and rabbits, and it seems like just the rifle for the job. About regrets: I had a Husqvarna Swedish 6.5mm Mauser in mint condition that I bought back in the $80s that I loved, and I had to sell it when my business plummeted during the recession 10 years ago in order to pay the rent. I miss that rifle so much that I dream of it sometimes. Thanks for a great story. The Marlin 60 is a great American rifle.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@scenicdriveways6708]

My first "cartridge" rifle was a Marlin 60 .22lr. I sure had a lot of fun with it. Nice video, thanks for sharing. JT

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure!

[@laurogarza4953]

I grew up on Marlin 22s also. Mine was a model 101 single shot bolt model while my older brother had the Glenfield Model 60. His, in our father's pickup, was stolen. About 30 years later, I was given a rather rare Model 99 carbine which, I loaned to my father for use at the ranch and which, also in my father's pickup, was later stolen. I still had the 101 which I found is a terrific squirrel gun with a Marlin scope scavenged from another rusted 22 bolt repeater. Yet, I just had to have a semi-auto 22. It seems to me that NO OUTDOORSMAN is properly equipped without a good one and I'm certain many or even most of your readers will agree. I continue to enjoy the professionalism of your video productions and the colorful commentary you share.

[@laurogarza4953]

22s are just plain FUN to shoot! They are also excellent for honing your sight and trigger skills. More and more good reasons to own a good semi-auto 22 abound.

[@Icarryone]

I totally agree, Lauro. A good .22 rifle is probably the most flexible & useful firearm anyone could own.

[@1Skeptik1]

Good story. I bought a stainless model 22 yrs. ago, to the range (1) time to zero the scope. With less than 50 rounds fired it lives comfortably in my gun cabinet.

[@Icarryone]

😎👍

[@usergonemad]

My first gun as well. Many fond memories! Thank you for sharing your own.

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure Doug.

[@chrisvids1820]

I stumbled upon one of these at a pawn shop and bought it. I had no idea what I was getting that day, but I got lucky picking this 22. Really for me it was the solid feel that got me and I still love it

[@Icarryone]

Yeah buddy!

[@jcarm041]

I enjoyed the video. This Model 60 and the H&R Topper 410 will always hold special places in my heart. Too many great memories as a kid running around the back woods. Undoubtedly the model 60 will serve many generations to come.

[@Icarryone]

I sincerely hope that Marlin never discontinues the Model 60.

[@SuperIain13]

Very cool video, made me think back about my first 22. Awesome story, thank you for sharing it with us. Beautiful Marlin 60, I gave my model 6084 Mountain Man edition to my son a few years ago, its still a great gun for plinking and small game!

[@Icarryone]

One day, this one will go to one of my grandsons.

[@thomastommy1192]

A very good but honest video. I know it had hard for you to talk about this. I always respected you and your videos. I now have much greater respect for you. I experienced a similar problem. On my first job at about 14 years young. I worked as a dishwasher at local restaurant on weekends. For one dollar an hour. I worked and saved and bought a 20 gauge shotgun. My dad put in his name for me. I sold it to a nephew. Who sold it to his nephew. My great nephew. I have been trying to buy it back the last few years. He refused to sell it. It's hurtful when I think about it. But on the bright side. I do have a Model 30 Winchester Shot gun that belonged to my father. I will treasure it always. I know just how you feel. I'm happy you were able to get another model 60. God Bless You Always.c

[@Icarryone]

I appreciate that Thomas - thank you.

[@JoeA418]

had the very same 22 long time ago and to this day I have not found the original joy I had shooting the model 60 even though I have several other 22lr I can shoot nothing is as much fun as shooting the Marlin 60.

[@Icarryone]

I know exactly what you mean.

[@hoffmiermp]

The model 60, thing is a classic imo. I was gifted one for Christmas many many moons ago and still have it to this day. Great little rifle, still as accurate today as it was the very first day I took it out to go shooting.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@archer1483]

that's about THE most legitimate reason I have ever heard to go out and purchase a firearm that tugs on your Heartstrings! beautiful story! I have the same rifle

[@Icarryone]

It was reason enough for me.

[@wagstag89]

Really enjoyed your story and I can relate in many ways. As for the Model 60, about 2 years ago I was getting back into squirrel hunting with a dog and wanted something other than the old single shot 22 I had. Just so happened a local gun store had the synthetic Model 60 on sale for like $129. I had heard good things about them and decided to take a chance on one. Well not only does mine also feed everything I've put in it so far but it's an absolute laser. One hole groups from the bench all day long and I would not be afraid to put it up against anything else out there. We have some very tall pine and oak trees here and in the late season when there no leaves this is the gun I take. I've got that same mount with a Nikon rimfire 3-9x and sometimes I have to back pretty far away from the tree my dogs on in order to get a shot. Ive put a Federal hollow point right in the ear of many squirrels with that gun and I don't think I'd sell it for ten times what I paid for it. For the price it's been my best firearm purchase hands down

[@Icarryone]

Yes sir, the model 60 is a terrific little rifle.

[@country4lyfe365]

Still have my father's 1970s marlin 60. Dead on still to this day. Hard gun to replace. I myself figure this 22 to be the best on the market, Then and today. God bless and keep shooting .

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@MidwayShooter]

I had one for years, my son loved it so it's now in his safe.

[@Icarryone]

This one will be going to my grandson one day.

[@emptynester9241]

MidwayShooter Lol, I had the same issue but with my daughter. So I bought two more, one will go to my son and I will keep the other one.

[@BATJACJW]

I like the tube fed magazine.

No muss, no fuss, no magazine to lose.

[@druisteen]

@@Icarryone ya

[@jamiecowan170]

Not only a great video, but you're a great story teller. I love the details, particularly that your father got sick of eating small game! I watched this several times, just for the story. Thanks.

[@Icarryone]

Thanks. I appreciate that Jamie.

[@cloycespears9632]

Nice story. I've owned several in my life time. The one I have now is the Glenfield variety with the squirrel ingraving, redid the stock and receiver and she looks brand new.

[@Icarryone]

Never saw one of these rifles that didn't shoot well.

[@billthecat3159]

I obsessed over a Marlin 60 just like Ralphie did hid Red Rider as well. My heart ached wanting onc until my dad brought home one he gave somebody he worked with at that old factory, that didn't pay much, 20 dollars for a ragged out gummed up pitiful example of a badly abused and neglected Model 60 when I was about 12 or 13.. I showered it with love, TLC, and Hoppes and 3 in 1 until it came back to life. 40 years later it's still my favorite 22, maybe my favorite gun period. I can still cover 5 shots with a quarter at 50 yards with it. I bet there are thousands if not millions of stories like ours concerning the Model 60. I love Ruger guns but they can keep the 10/22s. In my humble opinion it's the best 22 rifle made for young and old. I never found the need for anything else. Great story, thanks.

[@Icarryone]

I know exactly what you mean Bill.

[@Thafuface]

Great Video. I loved the Marlin 60 so much I had to get the 150 Year Anniversary Edition with the Stainless barrel. Now there's 2 of em. Beautiful. No Regrets. The prairie dogs never know what hit them. Best 22 for the Money

[@Icarryone]

Yeah buddy! 👍

[@andrelanglois4960]

Beautiful story and gorgeous stock on this rifle. Thank you very much,

[@Icarryone]

[@markmaslinski4771]

Great story thanks for sharing.... I hope to pass my model 60 down to my son someday.

[@Icarryone]

👍😉

[@CHaas-bn3xi]

all I can say I have a love affair with my Marlin model 60 and I'm 58 years old and its the third gun I've purchased. When I pick my Marlin model up and hold it, it just feels so right like it's part of me. When I hold my Marlin and look down the scope and fire it, it just feels like a part of me, my love affair with my Marlin model 60 ❤. By the way what an amazing video.

[@Icarryone]

No getting around it, the Model 60 is a great little rifle.

[@gpraceman]

We love to shoot the 1977 Marlin 60 "Pesky Squirrel" that I inherited from my Grandpa. Very accurate shooter. I just upgraded the action to add in the last shot hold open feature and a new feed throat, lifter and lifter/ejector spring. These changes have made it even better. Now to get a better scope for it.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@Hungrybird474]

I had to have one too and when I was browsing a pawn shop I saw one in dirty condition but noticed it had potential and boy did it ever clean up . It was filthy as u can imagine with so I soaked it in hopes #9 since it works great for barrels and cleaned it decent and shot a few hundred rounds and found out this 1988 Marlin with the 22” barrel and 18 load capacity and bolt hold open was a decent deal. Came home and have it a another real good white glove cleaning and now the insides look new with some wear marks . It’s no longer gritty when using the action but the main thing of this whole spcheel is to let folks know they clean up decent and parts are available if ya get one needing some love and they are pretty accurate . I’m using a 3x9 and 75-100 yds is better than iron sights . It hits the mark and thsts what I care about . Next I ll refinish the stock not caring about original color . It’s going to look better with my finish work if the stock is birch it will look great clear but prob will go gray stain with 2 coats of whitewash and 2 coats crystal clear . 👍👍

[@Icarryone]

Got to love a restoration project! 👍

[@mikecampbell5856]

The first gun I ever owned was a Glenfield Model 25 which is a a clone of the Marlin Model 80. I got it for Christmas in 1973 and it is a member of my family to this day.

[@Icarryone]

Excellent!

[@jeffjeff-wc9ze]

I still have the model 60 I bought new in 1988. It was the first new rifle I ever purchased. It's still in excellent condition. Would never part with it. Reliable as heck and just a blast to shoot. Just today I picked up a 1977 Glenfield 60 squirrel stock model in pristine condition with the factory 4x15 Glenfield scope. Even has the original scope caps! Absolutely beautiful rifle and was my white whale in life. Always wanted a new one, but this one is as close as it gets. It will be my Grandsons first rifle and I will teach him to shoot it. Can't lock a white whale away in a safe. They need to be free.

[@Icarryone]

Excellent find!

[@dvfd29]

Great video, in the past few months I have had this rifle on my mind, all my guns are tactical, and I just wanted to get back to basics, so I went to my local pawn shop, bought a used one today. Took it apart cleaned the heck out of it, and when it was all done, i had visions of teaching my future grandkids how to shoot, of all my firearms, this one for some reason means more to me than anyone.

[@Icarryone]

I know exactly what you mean.

[@lindaputnam9698]

Nice story! Reminded me of my dad also a WWII vet.

[@Icarryone]

Thank you Linda.

[@topturretgunner]

I am the blessed steward of a 1975 Marlin/Glenfield model 60 with 22” barrel and full length magazine. She is a tack driver. I am now looking for a decent scope and mount as my aging eyes seem to require optics. Tactical scope on my AR 15 fortunately with glasses I’ve no problem with the ghost ring sights on the Mossberg. Yes that ‘Glenfield’ model 60 has a home with me. Thats an heirloom rifle.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@ablemoss8723]

Loved the story telling ability!! Got mine when I was 12 as well!

[@Icarryone]

👍😉

[@jimmysmith8714]

That's a great gun I have a couple of them. That's what I give all the boys in the family for graduation. But my story was I had to find me a Remington 550-1. Those are so great shooting 22s as well. It took me 3 years after my pops passed away to find one at a gun show. My brother has our pops so I had to find me one for the memories plus it's a great gun. I remember out shooting contest he had his Remington and I had my Marlin model 60. We had a lot of good shoot out with them 2 guns. For his age he could still damn near out shoot me and sometimes would. R.I.P POPS

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@anycaliber9086]

My 2 brothers got together and bought me a model 60 in January 1984 for my 14 birthday I still have to this day you could buy any gun I have but that one it means a lot to this old boy anyway thanks for the story almost made me cry when you had to sale wish you could find it

[@Icarryone]

Getting the original one back would be most unlikely - having this one seems to make things right again.

[@dutch3010]

First ever rifle I owned at 16yo...miss that old thing. I might have to get myself a new one one of these days.

[@leatherheadhoseck8462]

Great video sir! Love the Marlin, and love your story...

[@Icarryone]

Thank you.

[@samjohnson9894]

Great reflection and story. I was the same way. Got mine at 12, in 1986. Added a scope one year later. Just replaced that scope 2 months ago and rediscovered how accurate they really are. One thing always stands out to me in my recollection of the 6 mos or so leading up to receiving the rifle as a gift...the 10/22 was the more expensive and modern .22 to have. To this day, I've yet seen a 10/22 shoot near as accurate out of the box, much less with a decent optic as my 30 year old, 20,000+ rounds Marlin 60. Never lost a mag either. bwaahahahaha

[@Icarryone]

Out of the box, the model 60 does have an accuracy advantage over the 10/22.

[@chrismudd9342]

You are a master story teller, thanks!

[@Icarryone]

Wow, thank you!

[@normyoder2622]

How easy was that to listen to?! Great orator,as good as I've ever heard.great gun also.i bought a Glenfield you know with the squirrel on the pistol grip .i understand it's same as a model 60.im 68 yrs old and about time I own my first 22

👍🤠

[@bills1613]

That's a sweet old Tasco you got on that classic 60.

Thanks for sharing your story with us!

[@Icarryone]

My pleasure.

[@pimplystikage836]

I have a bunch of .22 rifles in my collection. A .22 and pellet rifle are great guns to use if you want to keep in practice and improve your marksmanship using less expensive ammo. I have always had a soft spot in my head for Marlin 60s. the are handy and accurate rifles that are very reasonably priced. People gush over Ruger 10/22s but out of the box a Marlin will beat them every time. I have one Ruger with the full length stock I picked up from a friend who is no longer with us. It is a nice rifle and fun to shoot, but Marlins are still the best to me.

[@Icarryone]

You just can't go wrong buying a model 60.

[@aeoo371]

My Dad bought me one 45 years ago. My Dad past away 6 years ago but I still have it. Mine likes the CCI MINI MAGS the best. BTW mine has the carved squirrel on it. It will never be sold.

[@Icarryone]

I'll be hanging onto this one too.

[@bobstadnicki5578]

I bought one in 1978 so my son and I would have something to enjoy together. As he grew into his teen age years he found other things more interesting to do. Girls was one of them. So the Model 60 found its way into the back of a closet. Then in 2012 my brother in law asked me if I wanted to go to the range with him. I hadn't touched a gun in 34 years. That day I was bit by gun fever. I took out the Marlin and cleaned it. Have been shooting it ever since, along with the 14 other guns I have purchased since. The Marlin was used to introduce my wife to shooting and it's the only gun she wants to shoot.

[@Icarryone]

The model 60 has been the start of many gun collections.

[@beartree177]

[@ericcasas7398]

What a great video sir! Same thing happened to me and I had to buy a another 60 but this one was for my grandson because I am a new grandpa. I made sure that I found an older one because they can carry 18+1 instead of the newer ones that only carry 14 period I believe then probably 10 soon enough, Lol!

[@Icarryone]

Excellent.

Great video. Try 11 million produced. Thank for sharing!!

[@behindenemylines3361]

Nice story - I bought one in the mid-80's and thankfully I still have it! When I first bought I was in SW AZ and the cotton-tail and jack rabbit population took a hit when I was there! I probably won't ever sell it - I'll pass it along to my son, so he make his own memories with it.

[@Icarryone]

This one will go to a grandson one day.

[@benschildgen4994]

I have one but that high mounted scope would keep me from shooting it comfortably. I would have to raise the comb

[@Icarryone]

I've since installed a standard scope mount - works just fine.

[@richardstall8419]

Great gun awesome story mY friend I just purchased a older model today actually I traded a Hatfield semi auto 12 Gage for it for I'm more into small game hunting and wanted less lead TO pick out of the meat. And your story was great reminded me of a few great times with mY father and mY first gun a 4-10 miss that gun also. Thanks friend God Bless

I have a 597 that makes me happy. I guess I'll just plug along with that.

[@Icarryone]

Nothing wrong with that.

[@me2bfc]

I have one my dad gave me when I was about 10 and I inherited another from my moms dad. They are both a bit finicky about ammo, but are accurate enough to shoot the ring numbers off targets at 50 yards. Is that scope mount the one one with 24 MOA of elevation built in?

[@Icarryone]

Yes it is but I've since changed it out for a different mount.

[@jllucci]

Cheers to the fathers who were of the Greatest Generation. I can relate to being taught gun handling from a combat vet. Mine was in the 34th ID during WW2. Unlike you though I have hung on to most of the guns of my youth that my father bought for me. All except for my 870lw youth shotgun. As for my .22 it is a Ruger 10/22. Of course it's evolved, but the receiver and bolt are original. Thanks for telling your story.

[@Icarryone]

[@dragonusmc0311]

[@bigthunder2860]

I bought a Greenfield marlin with scope it had a walnut stock I spent the early childhood hours hunting I'm glad I got it

[@Icarryone]

😎👍

[@korkiyengxiong8480]

Im just got one for myself, and it's such a fine firearm to own

[@Icarryone]

Agreed.

[@_r5830]

I had a Sears Roebuck 3T. Seems like a similar platform. Unfortunately mine was stolen :-(. Going to look into this marlin model 60. Thanks for the great videos Icarrone!

[@Icarryone]

You can pick one up for under $150.00. Thanks for watching.

[@charlesebyjr2925]

Loved your story, I just ordered a new model 60ss, can’t wait for it to arrive. I was just wondering why you preferred to mount your scope so high? Also what kind of scope would you recommend? Thanks and keep us up to date if your wife is tired of those rabbits and squirrels yet?

[@Icarryone]

Like I said in the video, the scope and mount were some that I already had but were not being used. Since this video, It now has a proper set of rings and a new Nikon scope.

[@charlesebyjr2925]

Icarryone hey I got my model 60 and the Nikon scope, I’ll try to post a picture soon, take care.

[@CaliforniaFly]

Excellent history story.

[@Icarryone]

Thank you.

[@sethleger6105]

I have a glenfield but it doesn’t shoot a mag without jamming so I got a ruger 10/22 yesterday

[@Icarryone]

The Ruger 10/22 is an outstanding rifle.

[@sethleger6105]

Icarryone I know that’s why I bought one, I may also buy a marlin next week

[@boweebles1]

It is most likely your ejector wire is not in the correct position. It is a easy fix. Look it up how to fix it on you tube

[@sethleger6105]

David Strevels links?

[@ebomey]

Very cool ... around here that would be ZERO all things dead for dinner.

[@Icarryone]

Do squirrels taste a bit nutty to you?

[@ebomey]

More like chicken....

[@dongoble1792]

Now that's a great looking model 60 22. The one I have isn't as pretty but I wouldn't trade it for a 10/22.

[@Icarryone]

👍🤠

[@pitbulld45]

Very cool video a great story and a great gun

[@Icarryone]

Thank you kindly.

[@varealestate77]

got one, it's a keeper. 1981 long barrel and magazine

[@Icarryone]

Excellent!

[@randolphbegaye5389]

Where can i get a marlin 60 reciever? Their pretty much just cast, my brother was climbing up on some rocks and dropped my gun and the housing receiver cracked.

[@Icarryone]

For what a new receiver would cost you, you would be money ahead to purchase a new rifle.

[@randolphbegaye5389]

@@Icarryone ok just thought i ask if you knew any resources or if you knew someone that had one for sale or selling online. Thanks

[@danricci7855]

Very nice story. Thank you so much!

[@Icarryone]

You're quite welcome.

[@MC-uj4co]

Just bought one.. Like you I needed this I got the 19 inch stainless model...

[@Icarryone]

Excellent!

[@ericolson6405]

how high is your scope mounts off the barrel ? but I do have 4 Marlin Mod 60's love your video;

[@Icarryone]

That mount was only on there temporarily. I have a much better Leopold scope mount on it now.

[@danielm7585]

I love the 60's. My brother and I both got Winchester model 190's, and wiped out the jack rabbit population south of Amarillo one summer.

[@Icarryone]

They need killin' - those vermin ate up my garden this year.

[@normandegeorge6526]

Nice stock on this one, is it a special edition? Sad story about having to sell your rifle.

[@Icarryone]

This one is a model 60 deluxe.

[@GluteusMax777]

Nice vid! I found your over 5 minute video seemed to last way less than what it did. I was entertained.

[@Icarryone]

Thanks Patrick.
