Greenfield tube feed 22lr. I found one for 80 bucks. It’s in fair condition. With a wood stock. Is there any reason it wouldn’t make a good basic first rifle for my wife?

That’s the planI just picked up an old Oak Leaf stocked Glenfield model 60 a week ago. It literally had a boot lace tied on it for a sling. 100 bucks. It runs like a top.
Clean yours up, make sure it functions correctly. Your wife should love it.
I’m about to order the butt plate I will look for the buffer too. Thank youMy Glenfield model 60 was a present from my mother. Some jerk broke into my rented house and stole it a few years after she died. I would love to have it back. It was a great shooter, more accurate than most 10/22s I’ve shot.
If it’s very old you might need to replace the nylon recoil buffer.
Cant tell if it’s tongue in cheek or not, but it does remind me of the 1 issue I have with a model 60. Load it full, through the tube, and you shall see that at least 1 round disappears if you unload through the tube. There’s one sitting on the lifter that has to unload through the top. It’s not a big deal to work the action until it runs dry, but someone who doesn’t know and doesn’t count can easily have an accident. I love a model 60, have 3 of them, and a 795 which is the same gun but detachable mag version. Every gun has its flaws and you have to learn how to live with them and keep from having a ND. Buy that gun, and teach that it has to have the action worked until no ammo comes out.Only thing to be careful about is theres another round in the chamber until its empty.
always a habit of mine anyway. my dad is a gun safety nut. I cant pick one up without checking it for empty.Cant tell if it’s tongue in cheek or not, but it does remind me of the 1 issue I have with a model 60.

Not at all. Serious. I,ve seen new shooters get excited after making a good shot and turn to others standing by for a comment. Often swinging the gun with them. If the gun is manually operated you have a empty case in the chamber, Not a live one like a semi auto. I,ve seen AD like this. Always treat a firearm as loaded but thats even more important with a semi auto.Cant tell if it’s tongue in cheek or not, but it does remind me of the 1 issue I have with a model 60.
