The Marlin Model 60s and Model 795s were crap long before Remington came into the picture. If anything, quality has IMPROVED since Remington (Freedom Group) started calling the shots.

For the record, I'm not a fan of the current 10/22 (~2000+), either. Too much plastic. HORRENDOUS triggers. Nasty, super cheap wood. Poor fit. Ugly, lazy choices for finishing. And increased reports of warranty claims.

If you want a good one, buy something 1980 or older.
