Mjsdwash - Wow, that's quite a condemnation of the 60. I don't think I'd ever shoot less than 200 rds at the range (rifle range is a bit of a drive for me so when I get to go I tend to make a day of it).
Has anybody else seen this type of reliability issues with the 60? I don't remember having this problem, but that was a much earlier production and I was much younger so I may not remember.
That's one of the more ridiculous claims I've ever heard about the 60.
Back in April, my friends and nephew were at the range, all taking turns with my model 60 while we shot other rifles as well.
After half a day off shooting, we put 1200+ rounds through the 60 - that day alone - with only a handful of duds which were an ammo issue, not a rifle issue.
My 60 is my preference over my 10/22. I've never spent any real money customizing it, unlike the Remmy.
It's definitely a tad more accurate and always has been with comparable ammo, but we are talking about fractions of an inch, at distance, so keep that in mind.
The 10/22 mag has always been 95-99% reliable, my 795 maga about 90% reliable, the tube mag also 100% reliable.
Even with the longer reload time with the tube, Speedlioader not withstanding, I still have more fun with my 60 over the 10/22.
But they're both fantastic, it's just my preference.
