Might just need to go buy the abused Nylon 66 out of the local pawn.... I like those, too. Except, they're selling for a lot more than in past years. DF

A nylon 66 is about the only thing worse.

If you can take a Nylon 66 apart and put it back together, you've just graduated from bush league to big league...  It ain't a job for the beginner... DF

DF Well, I can and have taken a nylon 66 apart and put it back together. Anybody who can do that and still consider it a good rifle ain't too bright. Sure they're tough and go bang on a very regular basis but NOTHING about the design is conducive to good accuracy. NOTHING. Let's see, affix the barrel to a very flexible plastic stock, then affix the rear sight/scope to a stamped sheet steel receiver cover that's not connected to the barrel at all but instead held to the flexible plastic stock with a couple of through screws that allow a bit of slop/shifting between the flexible stock and the reciver cover. Pure design genius !

10-22 Is the most sensible choice. That said, after decades of serving me coon hunting, trapping, plinking, utility, my 10-22 moved out to Missoura where my grandsons use it a lot. I've still got my Belgian Browning which, IMHO is a work of art. Also my Nylon 66 sees some use (really attached to that because it was one of those things I wanted as a kid but couldn't afford.)

Pure design genius ! I own one and I like it. I use the stock iron sights. I used electrical tape to secure the barrel in the stock - otherwise it was minute of old Chevy accuracy - wise. I learned to lubricate it with a soft pencil - never use oil.

Kiddies who recommend the 10/22 just dont know any better. They probably think the Ruger American is really accurate too. Ignorance is what sells the 10/22.

I can't believe that anyone still buys Marlin 60s, or any current production Marlin 22 for that matter. To compare a Marlin 60 to a 10/22 and say it's better in any way aside from accuracy, which I admit it usually is out of the box, would be lying to yourself. The longevity and reliability of the Ruger is pretty unbeatable. And they use THE best magazine ever put in a rimfire anything. The days of unreliable hicap 10/22 mags are behind us too thanks to Ruger and the BX series of magazines, screw Butler creek and their Hotlips crap.

I've seen more constant jammer 10-22/s than you can shake a stick at. The 10-22 is another one that you look at the design of and shake your head thinking WTF was Bill Ruger thinking ? One action screw and a barrel band and you expect good accuracy ? One extractor that is too far from the breechface to hold the shell case firmly to it and you expect top notch extraction/ejection ? Oh, and I've seen my share of those rotary magazines that didn't feed worth a shyt too. I agree with the above poster that the 10-22 is bought by folks out of ignorance. Then when they find out it doesn't shoot worth a shyt {DUH !} they set about rebuilding the thing in an effort to compensate for it's basic design flaws and shytty loose tolerances. The 10-22 is the mini-14 of the rimfire world.

597, 10/22, model 60. All are good. Marlin most accurate, 10/22 most aftermarket stuff, 597 I like it better out of the box overall.

Totally at odds with my experience (one apiece) with both models.
The Winchester strung shots higher and higher as the barrel heated up, to the point it would have missed anything smaller than a pony. Pretty much a crap-o-matic.
The Walmart special SS Ruger (checkered beech stock) was dependable and accurate enough for most purposes, right out of the box. Trigger was a bit heavy, but pretty crisp. Regrettably, I sold it when I bought a CZ 455 (also gone).
My next .22 auto ideally will be an SA22, but a 10/22 would be my second choice, especially if I find one of the fancy ones in a LGS.
What fresh Hell is this?
