4 Years and 40,000 Rounds Later ? Battle Arms AR-15 Still Rocks It took four years of testing through many a 3-gun competition and practice session, but here is probably the most tested review of a Battle Arms Development AR-15. Read More Marketing from Marlin Firearms An economically priced rifle that's earned the title of "most popular 22 in the world." Since it was introduced in 1960, it has continuously represented one of America's finest rimfire values. It has a 19 Micro-Groove? rifled barrel, cross-bolt safety, manual bolt hold-open and a patented automatic "last-shot" bolt hold-open. The tubular magazine holds up to 14 Long Rifle rounds. America's favorite autoloading 22 rifle also comes in weather-proof stainless steel with a walnut finished laminated hardwood stock. The adjustable semi-buckhorn rear sight is complemented by a ramp front sight with high-visibility post and cutaway Wide-ScanTM hood. Manufacturer: Marlin Firearms, Model: Model 60 SB Action: Autoloading Semi-Automatic Caliber: .22LR Finish: Stainless Steel Stock: Monte Carlo walnut finished laminated hardwood; full pistol grip; tough Mar-Shield? finish Sights: Adjustable semi-buckhorn folding rear, ramp front sight with high-visibility post and cutaway Wide-ScanTM hood. Receiver grooved for scope mount Trigger: Single Stage Barrel Length: 19 Overall Length: 37.5 Weight: 5.5 lbs. Capacity: 14-shot tubular magazine Twist: 1:16 RH Rifle Grooves: 16 w/ Micro-Groove? rifling UPC: 026495076405 MSRP: $220.00 The Review Marlin's Model 60, also known as the Marlin Glenfield Model 60, is a .22LR semi-automatic rifle with a tubular magazine that was first introduced back in 1960. After having been in continuous production since, and more than 11 million made, Marlin claims the Model 60 is the most popular .22LR semi-automatic rifle in the world. I don't really know how accurate that claim is, but I do believe it is a fine entry-level firearm. Initial Thoughts In this review, I will be focusing mostly on the Model 60 SB which is one of the Stainless Steel models available and the one I had the opportunity to try out. Features The action design is a self-loading, straight blowback operation, with right-side ejection. The receiver top has a serrated, non-glare finish. The receiver is held in the stock by front and rear machine screws through forearm and the trigger guard respectively (later models add a wood screw behind the trigger guard to reinforce the wrist of the stock). The receiver is grooved for a scope mount. For use without a scope, the barrel features an adjustable open rear sight and a ramp front sight. The charging handle is used to load the first round from the magazine and can be retracted and pushed in as a manual bolt hold-open feature. Current models have an automatic "last-shot" bolt hold-open device with an external lever in the front of the trigger guard to release the bolt. Earliest Model 60s did not have a bolt hold-open; first the manual, then in the mid-1980s the automatic "last shot" hold-open feature was added. The Model 60 also has an easily accessible cross-bolt safety located above the trigger. When disassembled, the trigger guard with trigger and safety remain in the stock. Marlin uses their proprietary Micro-Groove rifling in the Model 60. The twist rate is 1:16 inches, right-hand. Micro-Groove rifling uses 16 small lands and grooves rather than 4, 6 or 8 deeper grooves used in most rifles. This increases the accuracy of the rifle by lessening deformation of fired bullets traveling down the barrel. Although the Model 60 is one of the least expensive .22 semi-automatic rifles sold, it has the reputation of being one of the most accurate rifles out of the box, with no modifications necessary. Remington Thunderbolts w/Iron Sights @ 25yds While many .22 semi-automatic rifles were designed to function with .22 Short, .22 Long and .22 Long Rifle interchangeably, the Model 60 is specifically optimized for the .22LR cartridge only. Functional Testing A day at the range with my son and Marlin's Model 60 was both impressive and enjoyable. The rifle performed just as well as I had expected. It was very accurate and cycled ammo from many different manufacturers with only a few minor issues which I attribute to the ammo and not the rifle. One thing to note... The red hi-vis front sight tended to disappear on my target. It was very difficult to see the the front sight near the center of my targets so I opted to zero slightly off center. The red sight contrasted well and became a thousand-times more visible against the black background. Winchester 333 .22LR w/Iron Sights @ 25yds Final Thoughts The Model 60 is an enjoyable rifle to shoot. It is well-suited for small-game hunting and vermin control, as well as low-cost target practice and entry-level competition shooting. The relatively large ammunition capacity is more than adequate for casual plinking. The Model 60's light-weight construction and ease of handling coupled with its low price make it a firearm very well-suited for new and young enthusiasts alike. While the Model 60 might not be as popular as the Ruger Model 10/22, you can still find them on the shelves everywhere. I think the popularity of Ruger's 10/22 has a lot to do with the vast number of aftermarket parts and accessories available. I would suspect more than any other gun or rifle made today. However, you can still find a fair amount of parts and accessories to personalize your Model 60 in most any way you like. Everything from aftermarket stocks and sights to trigger assemblies can easily be found on the Internet. So if you find yourself in the market for a quality small-caliber long gun at an affordable price, the Model 60 is certainly a rifle worthy of consideration, no matter if you are a seasoned marksman or just learning to use a semi-automatic rifle.

Terrill reviews the Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle, and finds an honest hard working gun that doesn't pretend to be something it is not. Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle USA ? -()- 22 caliber rifles can do much more than we give them credit for. Each of these rifles has a foot in multiple worlds, whether we are talking about competition, hunting, fun, or even defense. But at its root, the 22 rifle was the rifle for gaining meat for the pot, an art lost to many with today's modern conveniences. Still, good 22 rifles hang on and perhaps the best of them is the Marlin Model 60 rifle in semi-auto. Introduced in 1960, this tube-fed semi-auto was the mainstay of paper catalogs and hardware stores. Today, the Model 60 is still prevalent, the stuff of many pawn shops and any reasonably stocked gun counter, despite the onslaught of other excellent competitive options, namely the Ruger 10/22. The 10/22 is quite the chameleon with an aftermarket parts selection that can bridge the gap between recreation and tactical, yet the Marlin Model 60 still hangs on in mostly stock form, largely unchanged since its introduction with little aftermarket support. The Model 60 is available in a number of stock configurations between synthetic and the original birch stock, with and without sling studs, with all new models sporting the same fifteen-shot tubular magazine. The iron sights are basic though the Model 60 has a grooved receiver to take a 3/8-inch scope mount. The Model 60 has a pedestrian look with few plastic stocks, few rails, and certainly no high-capacity magazines available on the market. In a world of cheap plastic stocks and bulky glowing sights, the Model 60 is almost a culture shock. It is traditional in every sense and with some holiday funds, I picked up a new manufactured Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle. So how is it? Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle First Impressions Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle Trigger and Bolt. The bolt locked in it's half-way position. You can see the cross-bolt safety and forward bolt release. Fresh from the cage at my local Academy Sports, my Model 60 was ready for action. The Model 60 comes in many variations including composite stocks, stainless steel furniture, with or without sling swivels, but mine is a base model. Blued steel mated to a plain walnut stock. The Model 60 has a thick nineteen-inch barrel with its distinctive fifteen-shot tubular magazine below, much like the ramrod to a muzzleloader. The stock is plain except for a semi-pistol grip incorporated at the wrist. It is capped with a hard-plastic butt plate and is matted to the barreled action via a single large set screw. There is nothing poking out of the rifle. No rails, not even sling swivels, which was a bit of an annoyance since other models incorporate provisions for a sling. The sights are also nothing to write home about. The rear notch is coarsely adjustable for windage and elevation, and the front post can be moved for windage in its dovetail. They are plainly blued and relatively low profile compared to the 10/22 and most other new 22 rifles today. I did not expect anything fancy with such a utilitarian rifle, but I was a little off-put at the incorporation of hard polymer of trigger guard instead of steel. I would wager that such a small detail wouldn't be a deal breaker for most, including me. What did strike me as fancy is Marlin's "Micro-Groove" rifling in the barrel that is supposed to reduce deformation of the bullet and allow for better accuracy. The last-round hold open and bolt release are features not found on most 22 caliber rifles. In addition to the included iron sights, we still get a 3/8 inch dovetail in the receiver designed for the mounting of a rimfire scope. The manual safety is of a standard cross bolt type behind the trigger guard. Marlin Model 60 Rifle Front Sight. The sights are basic but adjustable in their dovetails. The rear sight features a slider which can be moved to raise or lower the point of impact Despite a few beefs, the Marlin Model 60 has a durable, outdoorsy look and feel with some useful features. But in the back of my mind, I was already comparing it to the Ruger 10/22, namely because the 10/22 was my first 22 rifle. But countless people cut their teeth on the Model 60 and I was curious to see how well it performed. Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle On The Range Loading the Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle Ammunition Tube: Loading the tube magazine. You can get speed loaders, but doing it one round at a time is the cheapest way to go. Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle with CCI 22Lr Ammunition. A fifty-yard group with the CCI Mini Mag ammunition. 2.2 inches. I tend to favor to the left when shooting iron-sighted rifles. Boxes of Assorted 22LR Ammunition On an icy morning, I packed unusually light and headed out to Dayton Gun Range to put the Marlin Model 60 through its paces. I brought along five hundred rounds of ammo including high velocity and subsonic 22LR varieties. Operationally, the Model 60 is straightforward to load. I was used to the tubular magazines like those found on Henry rifles. The brass tube spring pulls out from its notch via a knurled knob at the end and you pull the tube out far enough to expose the loading port. Drop your rounds in and replace the tube. Grab the knurled charging handle, pull it back, and let it fly forward to chamber your first round. When the gun is empty, the bolt locks half-way back for safety, but dropping the bolt release does not pick up a fresh round once you refill the magazine tube. I decided to start off by doing a few magazine dumps to test reliability. I fired my first fifteen shots in a few seconds and the Winchester Western 36 grain hollow-points went off like a charm. On my second string, I had problems, problems typical of inexpensive bulk-pack ammo. Five shots in, click. I had a dud round. I reached for the charging handle and pulled it back halfway to re-cock the internal hammer. Click. I racked the bolt all the way to clear the round but not forcefully enough and the next round in the magazine jammed against the round still in the chamber. I had to take the magazine tube out and dump the unfired rounds to clear the jam. I reloaded and tried again. I ended up with another dud round but a brisk rack of the bolt cleared it and I was back in action. The safety is easy enough to use and the trigger is a bit ho-hum with only a little bit of take-up with a clean fivepound break. Shooting the Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle I have had great luck with Winchester ammo in the past but two duds in the magazine convinced me to move on to other ammunition. The other ammunition I brought along included CCI Mini Mag 40 grain, Federal High Velocity Match 40 grain, and CCI Suppressor 45 grain hollow-points. Along with the Winchester fodder, I took an impromptu resting position and fired some twenty-five-yard groups. This distance is easy for a 22, and a typical small-game hunting distance. All did well but the relatively weak CCI Suppressor ammunition did the best with a .87 inch five-shot group. This subsonic offering also cycled reliably throughout testing, exceptional considering 22 caliber autoloaders tend to be sensitive to the power level of the rounds you put in them. On a proper rest at fifty yards, I had little trouble. But it seems the iron sights, dead on at twenty-five required a bit of raising on the slider for rounds to hit to the point of aim at fifty yards. All ammunition did well, but the CCI Mini Mags bucked the wind and reached the target tightly, with a group measuring just under two-inches and favoring slightly to the left. Birchwood Casey Dirty Bird silhouette Targets Shot with the Marlin Model 60 Rifle. My twenty-five yard groups. Bottom left: Federal HV Match; Bottom right: Winchester Western. Top left: CCI Mini Mag; Top right: CCI Suppressor. Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle Quirks A-Plenty As the test wore on and my Birchwood Casey Dirty Bird splatter target supply got depleted, I began to realize that the rumors of great accuracy were true. All the same, I realized by then that the rifle had some quirks. The iron sights are low profile and coarse, except for the front sight which is adequately thin. I didn't have trouble seeing my bullseyes. Accuracy was excellent, though it is going to be up for debate whether it has to do with the fact that the barrel is thicker or that "Micro-Groove" rifling. Reliability was close to one hundred percent, though we can't ignore those dud Winchester rounds. Clearly an ammunition problem, however that ammunition had few if any problems in other firearms used. Thus is the nature of rimfire rifles, finding loads the rifle likes. Fortunately, the Marlin digested everything else, even those subsonic rounds which I initially believed wouldn't cycle the action. Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle Plastic Butt Plate: The plastic butt-plate is grippy enough and offers the stock adequate protection from the ground. Aesthetically, the Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle is pleasing to look and own but it won't win beauty contests. Nor will it win in the speed-reloading category. Without a speedloading device, I had to put my rounds in one by one. Fine when you are indoors before a hunt, but not so fine in the cold weather. I was a bit clumsy with numb hands and I suspect the lack of sensation would extend to gloved hands as well. The magazine tube will need to be emptied in case of a double-feed caused by dud rounds, which isn't quite as easy as dropping a box magazine and getting to work. With that said, out of the box, having a fifteen-round magazine is healthy with no additional investment and only one magazine needs to be made that works, the one on the rifle. Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle parts breakdown. Take down is straightforward once you use an allen wrench to unscrew the two retaining screws at the underside of the rifle. A Luke Warm Reception The Marlin Model 60 Semi-Automatic Rifle was the first auto-loading 22 rifle I have played with in a long time and I spent my own dollars on it. I am aware of faster-loading propositions and I am aware reports of some new Marlin rifles not functioning well out the box. But from this test, the Model 60 is worth the $150 I paid for it. It is probably the least expensive major-brand 22 rifle still around and that price is paid in dividends on the range. The only facets I would change on the 60 are the inclusion of a steel trigger-guard to match the rest of the rifle [after-market option available] and I feel the bolt should be configured to strip off a new round once the release is hit. Relatively minor gripes considering that over eleven million Model 60s have been produced. It is still around, in my opinion, because it doesn't pretend to be something it is not. It is a working gun and going forward, that is how mine is going to be treated. Terril Hebert About Terril Hebert: Terril Hebert is a firearm writer native to south Louisiana.
