Hey all,
I would like to get a .22 rifle for hunting small game in Maine up to 75 yards with headshots only. I would like it to be a semi-auto. I am primarily looking at the Marlin Model 60 and the Savage 64. I know both are going to be accurate. But I've head Marlins develop problems over the long run, like broken recoil buffers and springs and such. Are these easy to replace at home? Does this also happen with the Savage?
