Well, i have an old Marlin 99. It shoots great! But, the 10/22 has so many aftermarket goodies that it can be a really fun rifle to own. Take a look at both a Marlin and the 10/22 in person. Then pick the one you think you will enjoy the most. Plus, you will shoot better if you thik the rifle is more accurate -- so pick the more accurate one to start with. I have heard some bad reports of accuracy on the 10/22 at 50 yds. But hey, with 10 shots...who cares?? Uhhh, I do! If you are going hunting with the new rifle and if you get a 10/22, get a new barrel and stock first. Also, check out on putting a trigger job on. Marlin makes a good rifle. Parts are available.... I am am Marlin guy myself, so I say go with a Marlin. Overall, outta the box, I think Marlin is more accurate. But I really don't know much about the 60ss. Just take a good look at both rifles and pick the one you like best.
