Gander Rifles

Marlin model 60 is a better gun than the 795 IMHO. I can cover 15 shots with a quarter @ 25 yds. The same cant be said of my buddy's 795. Just my input for what its worth

Ruger MK22

I bought a Ruger 10/22, added the sling and a Barska scope. Liked the setup so well I bought the scopes for my sons as Christmas presents. Shoots very well. Has never failed over the first box of Remington hollow points. It is far more accurate when mk2ja shoots it, though. Can't understand why. Unless it is that he had his eyes fixed so that now he sees better than 20/20. Take my glasses off and I can't find the floor.

The 10/22 is a good weapon. It is pricey, but that gives you options if you decide to play with it later.

If I were doing it again, though, I would consider a Henry lever action .22 just for the fun of the cowboy experience. But that is a lot more money.

Bottom line: buy what you like, but I would buy ammo at GM and get the rifle elsewhere.

I am with Bapak2ja...Have the same config...10-22 with a Barska lit reticle scope. It is one with the metal trigger guard so its a little older one and boy does it shoot nice and accurate. Savage bolt 22s are also hard to beat but cost more. I have a Marlin 75 with a 4x scope that also is a great and accurate plinker. You might see if they have an old Marlin 60 used...nice old gun.
