I bought a wood stock Model 60 new at Academy for $159 in 2017. My brother was with me and said “I ought to get one of those too”. I told him there will come a day when you won’t be able to get one anymore new for that price. He said “eh” and was going to wait.
I’ve only put a couple hundred rounds through it but it’s a great rifle. Much more fieldable than my 10/22 and a better trigger (I have a walmart 10/22 which I am convinced is a factory second).
I have a soft spot for tube fed .22’s so I’m biased.
