Another Ruger 10/22 fan.
Another marlin model 60 fan.
12 million model 60s owners caint all be wrong.
I've got kidd ruger 10/22s
Still like the marlin better.
The only other rifle that comes close to my marlins.. is my Browning sa22.
Sweet and accurate little autoloader.
Add me to the Remington 550-1 club. Dad bought it for me. Lots of fun. Still have it and shoot it.
Another vote for Marlin 60

Ruger 10/22. I have several. Old walnut stocked, laminate stocks, international, target, tactical, and a takedown. They are all quality firearms, easy to maintain.
OK, this is an old thread but I'll bite....
There are a lot of good choices.
At the top of my list is the Ruger 10/22. The Ruger is a simple design that is extremely reliable, affordable and durable.
They've almost achieved a cult like status these days but the old Remington Nylon 66 was an amazingly tough yet inexpensive .22 semi-auto.
The Marlin model 60 (and all of the variations sold under different names) was a decent rifle but not as durable/reliable as the Ruger.
In the just, "flat out neat" category - the Browning .22 with its bottom ejecting action, stock mounted magazine tube and small proportions is an incredibly cool little rifle.
Mossberg 152 semiauto with aperture sight my father had. I shot it on an indoor range when I took the NRA Junior program about 50 years ago, and didn't feel at all handicapped by not having a "real" target rifle. Sadly, it's now long gone.
Had an anshuts semi looked like an m1 carbine shot OK pig to strip, heavy trigger and expensive mags got a 1022 now easy to clean, strip etc shoots well ,bits cheap easy to modify .1022 for me every time.
The Thompson is a very fine rifle. American made, walnut stock, first class bluing, very good factory trigger, and great accuracy. But you could buy a Ruger for less money and people did not want to pay the extra for the quality. Really impressed with this one. Factory original and will shoot with a quality bolt gun.
Not saying it's the best overall but my personal favorite is the winchester model 63. Accurate, reliable with any ammo, and is beautiful.
old needs to be defined. I go M60 as newest one , 10-22 ain't old IMHO.
The savage was a great old gun but o was the Rising
Picked up a Marlin 60 with the long barrel and 18 shot magazine. Must of been fired till it stove piped a spent case then put away in an attic till I got it for 50 bucks. Gave it a good cleaning and tuneup and love it with a 3x9 scope on it.
The Marlin model 60 was introduced in (surprise!) 1960, the Ruger 10/22 was only 4 years later in 1964. Both designs are over 50 years old.Originally Posted by Geezer in NH

Collecting .32 molds. Please let me know if you have one you don't need, cause I might "need" it!
I have two of the Model 60's and three 10/22's so I must like the 10/22's better. Still think that the Model 60 barrel is better.
I really like the plain 10/22 carbine. It was the first model I bought as a teenager. I like the size, weight and style. The only alterations I made are a little trigger work and the addition of a scope.
Gotta .22RF LR Winchester M77 semiauto, clip, usual cheapo scope, home made compensator, in the late 1950's.
Mr. & Mrs. GONRA's 3 kids + neighborhood kids all learned how to shoot with this.
10,000 + rds......
After all these decades, should go out and blast away again.
3 grandsons would love it. BUT - older one has epilepsy. Can't shoot.
As you can imagine, Family Situation Gets REAL Tricky on this stuff....

I'm another 10/22 fan. IMHO, its like the AR15 of the .22's. You can configure it any way imaginable and it doesn't need any expensive tools.
Third vote for Winchester 190 - got mine in1965. When I mustered out in December of 1970, it started me on this "journey".
Nylon66 with Redding shotgun peep sight and 1927 Finn Mosin front sight. Part of me forever. My wife has a Coast to Coast Hardware (Marlin 60) that is flawless if cleaned every thousand rounds, and a Mexican Hammerli (Academy) tuber that cuts 1/2"@50yds. It looks like a pellet gun. Best, Thomas.
