My dad's running his all-original Model 60 from the mid 80s, never had to replace a single thing. My own Model 60 is less than two years old, but has been equally dependable so far. I enjoy it.

I know you want to compare the Marlin and Savage but the Ruger 10/22 is better than both for the same money.
If I use cheap remington bulk stuff, it makes it about 3 rounds.
