Guess i'm the odd-ball. I fall into the Remington Model 12 and 51X series .22 rifles. Have four 10/22 but they are not my favorites

I've got a 10-22 but can't pry it out of the niece's hands. I wind up with the 62A, and am happy as a clam.

The first rifle I bought my 8/9 year old daughter, who is now 37, was a Ruger 10/22 international w/ black laminate mannlicher stock. She still has that rifle.

I'm not sure where I fit. I don't own either a Model 60 or a 10-22.

My favorite walking around rifle is a Remington Model 12C. Just an elegant gun for hunting squirrels.

A Remington 550-1 lives by the kitchen door to dispatch garden pests. The floating chamber allows it to cycle shorts, longs and long rifle interchangeably. CCI CB shorts function perfectly, are exceptionally quiet, and do not alarm the neighbors.

When it's time to put bullets into very neat and tidy clusters a quite servicable BSA Martini from just before the War makes me look better than I am.

A Remington 550-1

I had one of those too, what a nice rifle. I had the later Remingtons, Nylons of every type and the 552. The new 552 wasn't as nice as the old 550-1. Close but didn't fit me as well.

I've been all of them. I had to try everyone's offering once. I started with Remington 34 at 15 years old and then went through the Remington pumps, Winchester pumps, Browning and FN pumps, the Remington semi autos, the Lee Enfield training rifles and several of the Remington Nylons and the CBC variant. I had most of the common .22 semis including the Savage 87a and the nice Remington 550. I've had several Ruger 10/22 and a couple of the Browning Buckmark rifles...have one presently. I've been through the lever .22s like the 94/22 and the little Henry H001. The Henry was amongst the MOST accurate little rifles...the 94/22 was SO FAST I had to sell it or go broke. I now mostly shoot my CZ457 varmint with Turkish walnut stock and the Browning Buckmark rifle. Both have optics and my little Remington is iron sights. I have to scop it so it can play again. The CZ457 is about as accurate as you could want. I just shoot a 2" gong now at 100m for entertainment...bench rest of course.

I guess I'm an oddball too. My favorite .22 is a Lee Enfield No.2 MkIV* made in 1915. I love accurate rifles and this is the most accurate RF rifle I've ever owned. The 50 yd target picture I've posted is living proof.

We have 3 10/22's and 1 60 in the family. Nobody likes the 60, it seems cheap and low quality compared to the 10/22's. Flimsy mags that seldom empty without help, a thin cheap stock with useless and ugly pressed in checkering and no screws stay tight in use. It may just be that one made in the early 80's but because of all these reasons it hasn't been out of the safe since the 90's.
Of course I'm not one to talk because as a teen I had a Squires-Bingham AK22. All the inaccuracy built into an AK in a 22lr. It did have 32 round mags and was lots of fun while it was alive but it literally shot itself to pieces in roughly 10 years. There are still pieces of it on the range somewhere never to be found. The 10/22's that were older than the AK22 are still working fine.

yu are clearly thinking of a different rifle , the Marlin Model 60 is a tube fed and is arguably one of the most reliable semi auto .22 rifles ever , i owned 10/22 , i kept it for like a year and gave it to my nephew , it just wasnt for me , 10/22 is great if you want to play Barbi dress up with it because they of all the available after market parts , but for the extra money that a pain jane standard 10/22 costs , it makes me yawn
