and the Marlin 60 should yield me ~$75 at the store I bought it from originally.
For 75 bucks, I'd sure give a thought to keeping the little Marlin, tube mag and all.

No, if you look at the first post, my change has to do with my desire to not have a tube magazine.Is the polymer stock the only reason you don't like the Marlin? Dude, so long as it shoots well, you should keep it. A Marlin I have is a 2 inches at 50 yards rifle with even standard velocity target ammo. IMO, that's not good especially for a rifle with microgroove rifling that's advertised as increasing accuracy.
If 75 bucks is all you'll get for it, keep the Marlin and if you really must have a .22 with a wood stock, wait for Black Friday when basic 10/22's are $179.
You are probably right!I like the fact you keep going to the gun store to check 'em out. I'm thinking you buy the used 10/22 with the scope.
I have a 60, but, like you, prefer magazine loading to the tube. Mine was $120 on sale at Dicks a couple of years ago.
Sorry, the language wasn't clear at the time. Okay, understandable, but I still think you should keep the Marlin. If it's detachable magazines you want, go with the 10/22 platform.No, if you look at the first post, my change has to do with my desire to not have a tube magazine.
Water-Man beat me to it. You should feel right at home with the 795.Water-Man said:Get a Marlin 795. Less than $150.00.
My Marlin 22 semi-auto has a magazine.
