I can connect with this video at several points: first, thanks for the plug and endorsement of taking a Hunter Safety course. You are correct that many states do require passing this course in order to get a hunting license. I am fortunate enough to teach the last 4 hour portion of the course every other Sunday after church here in Texas. The first portion of the course is done online by each student. Secondly, I had an old Model 60 back in the seventies and cannot for the life of me remember where it went. Used it very frequently on the ferocious Arizona ground squirrels that were abundant in the Flagstaff area back then. And like you I recently re-acquired another M 60, but, this time fell in love with a 50th anniversary model I found online. This model has a real walnut stock with real cut checkering etc. And finally, like you I put a complete spring kit and upgraded components in it when I tired of the almost 6 lb trigger pull and the failure to feed issues which seems to plague some of the new Marlins. On another note, I moved to Texas when I retired. It has been a real adjustment as most of my hunting life was in Arizona and Nevada. Texas is only 5% public land. There is a huge culture of paying big to hunt. If you are not connected, it is real costly to hunt on the many ranches that do all they can to make it easy to hunt whatever you want to harvest but at a substantial cost. I really miss the 65-70 % public land in the west. I really enjoy seeing the area you hunt in. Beautiful woods. I envy you. As I'm now in my early 80s, I may not experience such bounty in this life. Keep up the down-to-earth homey approach to your videos, as many of us are with you in spirit.

This is a very relaxing, informative & fun video to watch! I like learning & always do watching your videos. The cleaning part was a real treat for me, I’m about to go start cleaning them all soon @ my 10 yrs old sons request to go shooting soon. We only run the .22,s because they are so much fun & affordable too now thankfully. I have collected some real decent ones that all need cleaning. My 1982 Marlin model 60 is one of my favorites to shoot, along with my 1947 Remington 550-1 with CB shorts & several of my old Target & Match pistols. All of them feed & run real well. Learning the ammo they all like was fun to experience, I see that’s part of the fun with .22,s I never realized when I was younger & into larger caliber items. Thankfully there is lots available to keep all my .22,s happy however, finding the S&K, ELEY & RW ammo is something I want to try, also Lapua. Whenever I do get the chance to set up my own targets I set them up very similar to how you do because I learned it’s best & fun back when I was a kid. Thanks, nice groups!!!

Good stuff. The Glenfield 60 I bought for less than $50 at K-Mart in my late teens was my second rifle. They sold thousands of these guns. Since then, I've accumulated half a dozen more Marlin Glenfield model 60's (both magazine and tube fed variants) because they are such a great value. None of them have polymer trigger guards. My used squirrel stocked Glenfield 60 like yours in great condition was only $100 out the door. I also appreciate the look and feel of a classic, wood stocked .22 rifle.

Thanks for the wonderful comment. The Marlin/Glenfield 60 I once had has always been at the back of my mind ever since I lost years ago, so I set forth to acquire another one. After getting the little rifle and shooting it, I found it would jam up and actually bend the next round in the loading port. When I learned the cause and corrected the problem, I decided to make another video reviewing the Marlin 60. As I stated in this video, I will be making a follow-up on how to trouble shoot, and correct loading problems in these rifles. BTW, I haven't forgotten about the catch and cook video you requested, I just need to get out and get a few harvests on camera.

Use the bronze brush dipped in bore cleaner to loosen the fouling, then use the brass jag to push the cleaning patches through.

Mine starts with 11 million so 2000 minus 11 n some change is 1988 ish or 1989 and that was when the barrel was shortened from 22” to 19” and capacity went form 18 to 14 rounds plus one in the pipe but who would do that right? N e ways $150 @ a pawn shop and she cleaned up so nice 👍 thankfully and I was surprised at the accuracy 😊. The whole reason I bought it was I don’t see them often and been hearing about how great they are with accuracy and reliability so now I have one and it’s sighted in and the inky thing left to do after two good cleanings is refinish the stock or leave it alone . It’s birch with no engravings and needs some love but I m not sure what color , maybe clear birch 🌳 or a gray stain with a matte finish or gray with 2 coats whitewash and make it a snow shooter . Either way it will look brand new and it should for how good it has operated for two days now 😂. Edit . A day later and it took two hours to strip and sand and steel wool, I rubbed boiled linseed oil on it and am glad I did , will continue to do for 3-4 days and see what can build up , it’s still matte looking but smooth . I finish wood for a living so this was easy for me and it’s damn near perfect compared to others I ve seen . Thinking of just going tru coat finish if I can’t get the linseed to stack up to a gloss I like because the grain is too good on this stock to pass up for what it is . I wish I could show you .

Could improve by speeding up a little. Thank you.

And AMT made a 10/22 clone and Thompson center made a 10/22 clone.

Shallow isnt really the word for it! Dont fire pure plain lead amo out of one of them. Unless you have some of my bullet lube. None of my miracle juice? Then make sure they are copper plated or they will strip on the first one instead of spin, lead her up good & now your shooting a smooth bore in stead. I'm fussy about accuracy haven taken part in the serious acquisition of raw wild fur & of taxidermy quality. I kid you not,that marlin is capable,(kind of like a woman) you just need to know what to give them & what to feed them. Some animals have pretty small ears! So 10 round groups need to be consistantly very tight,at 50yrds. That marlin will do it. Just take those factory sights off & throw them away! Get quality douple peeps or a good eye piece. You know buy her something nice & feed her large dia..22lr amo in hi velocity & with copper plated projectiles in a nice clean bore,prepped by patching it out with my miracle juice bullet lube before that clean bore has ever been fired. You can prep bullets with it too

Ruger 10/22 is a better rifle, and they own Marlin now

The Marlin model 60 is more accurate than a stock 10/22 any day of the week .

I’m glad you are not in the tactical stuff. Us these firearms as they were intended ,they are not assault fire arms. Those that want to play Rambo should join our great military branches. Doesn’t even cost you anything to fire assault weapons, Hell the taxpayers even foot all your bills too.
