Does anyone have any knowledge of whether or not Ruger plans to resume production of the Model 60? I realize they want to up the sales of the 10-22, but they own the 60 now, and it should make them a lot of money.
You know websites are normally constructed and maintained by folks who know nothing of the subject matter, right?Interesting, on that link they mislabel a Marlin 70PSS Papoose as a Marlin 795.
That does not speak well of Rugers knowledge of Marlins. lol
Nobody knowledgeable proofreads them?You know websites are normally constructed and maintained by folks who know nothing of the subject matter, right?
I don't know, my expectations are pretty low.Nobody knowledgeable proofreads them?
Not quite as bad as the H&K ad with the bullets backwards in the mag though.

If they own it, they can call it what they like. Like car companies reused names of classic cars for modern stuff with no style.Interesting, on that link they mislabel a Marlin 70PSS Papoose as a Marlin 795.

They're on the website. Years ago I would hear folks say that Ruger should buy Marlin just so they can shut down model 60 production. It's only sound business sense to produce both.
Absolutely! It only makes sense to produce both to satisfy both types of buyers.This, absolutely this.
The Marlin 60 is the number 1 highest selling civilian firearm model of all time, and until production ceased, it was outpacing the 10/22 around 2:1. In most cases, for good reason - they were cheaper, and for many folks, “not being a 10/22” was a motivation as well. Simple, light, handy, and more svelte built than a 10/22, they have been the Everyman’s 22LR for generations.
Ruger would be absolutely foolish to not bring the Marlin back to market, and in general, most indicators point to Ruger’s marketing team being industry leaders in performance, certainly not foolish. Hence, we’re getting the 60 back.
I've heard this a lot and it makes no sense when they can do both and cover both options. Ruger has never been foolish when it comes to making money, or spending it.He said "Why would Ruger bring out the 60, the competitor to their own model 10/22, when they have the market cornered on semi-auto 22s?"
Mine would always run whatever crap ammo I dumped into them. The only issue I ever had were dud rounds which is typical of poor quality rimfire ammunition.Now hopefully theyll bring back the Camp 9 Marlin and Camp 45. Could be great additions to the pistol caliber carbine.
I only hope that the new renditions of the Model 60 come with better optic mounting choices, better iron sights and can run some of the cheaper .22lr ammo a bit more reliably compared to the much older 60s. I could only get mine to reliably fire CCI. Would effectively become a single shot with Blazer.

Perhaps, but wouldn’t it have been just as easy to have the model number match the actual gun?Maybe Ruger sees that a 70PSS is simply a takedown 795 and is lumping that category together for the time being?
