Price, plinking and Marlin 60 are all words that belong together. Been shooting mine since 1964 and still having a ball with it in spite of owning 10 other 22's including (2) 10/22's

Fired this 50 yard target day before yesterday with that same 36 year old gun, cheap Barska scope and bulk ammo after nephew shot it for a month without cleaning it. No sighters just pulled it off the rack and fired 10 shots rapid fire from a cold dirty rifle.

Now I will tighten up the scope mount, clean it and try again at 100 yards if it ever stops raining.
