I've heard conflicting opinions of how many the mag holds, anywhere from 17 to 10. How many does it hold?Model 60. Load it once and shoot it until next week. Never liked magazines that stick out of the bottom of a rifle.
Depends on whether you're loading shorts. longs or long rifle. Regardless it's more than the removable magazine that's always in the way. For long rifle, new ones are 15 round capacity.I've heard conflicting opinions of how many the mag holds, anywhere from 17 to 10. How many does it hold?

Just picked up a 300 pack of CCI .22 lr so would be using that.Depends on whether you're loading shorts. longs or long rifle. Regardless it's more than the removable magazine that's always in the way.
the tibe be on the Marlin 60 has changed lengths a few times. The longest would hold 17 or 19 if I remember correctly....I've heard conflicting opinions of how many the mag holds, anywhere from 17 to 10. How many does it hold?

Any way that I could test fire the 795 that you know of? My cousin has a model 60, if feels very nice, light trigger pull, comparable to my CZ bolt action. So any way you know of that I can test fire a 795? Do pawn shops ever let you shoot the gun and decide?Which gun is better HOW?
That's pretty subjective, in my opinion.
For example, if both are comparable in accuracy, visually I like the image of a tube fed rifle over a detachable magazine. BUT there's the appeal of being able to conveniently carry several extra loaded magazines for faster reloading.
For practicality, however, I'd have to say I'd like to handle/shoot them both for comparison, with the one which "feels" better when I shoulder it and get my sight picture.
I believe they went to a shortened magazine, then came out with a carbine which also shortened the barrel so that it looked like a stumpy version of the the full length mag rifle......thats just from memory. I had 2 model 60s, both rifles with 20" tubes, one full length mag, the other about 5"short of the barrel, and it only held 14 or so.I've never looked into how they did this...so I don't know if they shortened the magazine tube, put a longer magazine follower in the rod, or what.

With a bottom feeder you never have your hand in front of the muzzle (if you are one of the “never point a firearm at something you are not willing to destroy, kind of guys), the tube mag is a lot more difficult to misplace or drop (if you have ever had to look for your keys, wallet or remote control kind of guy).
Meh...safety is as safety does.

Had to do with New Jersey restricting magazine capacity.Current model holds 14 rounds 22LR, older models hold more (17?). I don't understand why Marlin changed this, for the worse.
I DID find a really nifty magazine tube modification while looking up the Model 60 earlier this thread. Seems that the reloading port on the magazine tube is pretty much flush with the end of the forestock on the rifle. The guy modified the tube to basically rotate it about a quarter turn, so the reloading port was on the side, next to the barrel. This way he could place cartridges on the barrel gap formed by the magazine tube and barrel, where it would slide down and neatly fall right into the reloading port. A reloading aid, which made it a bit easier and less fumbling feeding cartridges directly into the port by hand.
