The .350 just ain't gonna work in a levergun with tubular magazine.
I was so involved with the Marlin lever guns that I totally forgot about the Model 60. The Model 60 may not be as popular as the 10/22 but it's still a great budget priced 22. How will Ruger market the Model 60 and the 10/22?

No experience with Model 60. Are they generally more accurate than the 10/22?
That is very hard to believe given the huge after market for 10/22's and the nearly non-existent model 60 after market. I can build 10/22's and never touch a Ruger part the gun is so popular.The last figures I saw the marlin model 60 outsold the ruger 10/22 by a pretty good margin, both in total number sold and in number currently sold per year. Since they were introduced marlin has sold almost twice as many 60's as 10/22's.

Data point of one. I got a 10/22 when I was 9. My brother got a model 60 when he was 10. 40 years later my 10/22 is still frequently to the range and is my NRL22 gun. I can't remember the last time my brother had that model 60 out of his gun cabinet. He never really liked it. Wanted a magazine fed gun.
………… that has been the subject of many,Many, MANY …… internet fights

Henry is stiff competition in that sliver of the market. Rimfire buyers are notoriously cheap and that pot metal Henry is easier on their pocketbook than the all steel Marlin (or Winchester 94/22 from previous generations). I hope they do it though because it truly is a far better made rifle.

I don’t have to see fatigue failures to know that milled, blued steel is far better than pot metal with a painted aluminum cover.Far better? Do you know of any Henry pot metal fatigue failures?
Explain this pot metal theory please . I see they are made of STEEL .I don’t have to see fatigue failures to know that milled, blued steel is far better than pot metal with a painted aluminum cover.
Not a theory, fact. Henry rimfire leverguns have a zinc alloy internal receiver with a painted aluminum cover.Explain this pot metal theory please . I see they are made of STEEL .
Well said.There is an unbelievable aftermarket for Ford Mustangs but very little for Toyota Camrys, despite Camrys outselling Mustangs by 4 times. Gun enthusiasts are the exception among gun owners.
