how accurate are .22LR at farther distance

"It isnt about buying the best of everything and spending a ton of money. Its about practice."

True to a point, but if the gun/ammo won't shoot, all practice will do is prove the gun/ammo won't shoot. As for the "best of everything", no the price of the gun won't make up for a poor shooter, but a good shooter can take advantage of high quality.

There is sort of a myth that "every gun shoots well, it is just the shooter who can't." That sounds good, but just isn't true. High price guns are high priced because they really do shoot better than that Stevens Favorite with the rusted out barrel.

don't expect accuracy from a marlin 60.

The biggest problem with the 60 is the stock sights. I bought a set of tech sights for mine for ~$60 and I can get 2'' groups at 100 yards without trying very hard (I wouldn't be using 22lr past that far anyway). For a total investment of $170 I wouldn't say that was half bad.
