My favorite 22 plinker and utility rifle.

This out of the box beats the 10/22 in accuracy. If you want an accurate plinker, training or small game hunting rifle, this fits the bill perfectly. No mags to loose and semi-automatic.

The 10/22 has the advantage in customization, but you cant go wrong with either. I prefer the marlin 60, and its only drawback is the tube magazine and clumsy slow reloads, which Spee-D-Loaders have made a non-issue for me.

Pro's

- Inexpensive
- Fun
- Easy to learn as a first gun
- Accurate
- Reliable as you get in a 22lr

Con's

- Tube rather than magazine fed (however a loader called a Spee-D-Loader makes reloads faster and holds about 120 extra rounds)
