I own a Marlin model 60 & a Glenfield model 75C (19" barreled version of the model 60) & have shot a 3rd model 60. The ones I own are early 80's& mid 90's production & the other one I shot was made in '72. I have not encountered a 9 pound trigger on any of them.
The biggest problem I have seen with the model 60's is most people don't clean them. My sister-in-law was having coyote problems so I gifted her an inexpensive scope with a light up reticle. I went over to mount & zero it for her & the magazine tube got stuck. I brought it home, took the action out of the stock, got the magazine spring rod (proper terminology?) out & gave everything a thorough cleaning & put it back together. Someone had oiled the magazine spring rod & burnt gunpowder & crud had built up on it. It ran like a top when I took it back.
I've never owned a 10/22. I'd like to get one to play with & see if I like it. It just seems like there is always something else I want more & I already have that niche covered.
