What do you guys know about the Marlin tube fed bolt action rimfire guns? How do they compare to the Model of 60, accuracy wise?
I have a Remington Nylon 66 (Actually, I think it's a Mohawk 10C/mag fed) that a friend gave me for my son to use because it's a lot lighter than my Marlin Model 60, which was my first gun. Anyway, like all those Nylons, it's a complete POS. No amount of anything can make it cycle and feed properly. I'm ready to dump it. It would have been nice to carry on a 4 wheeler etc but doesn't look like it will happen.
I'm thinking about selling it and using the money to buy a tube-fed bolt gun, which, to me, is the best option because a) it's manually operated so no more jamming, b) it's tube fed so no lost magazines or weak magazine latches that let the mags fall out of the gun (a problem I already fixed on this gun). To be honest, I've pretty much gotten to the point where I hate semi-auto guns. I'd like to sell my Model 60 too but my Dad bought that for me when I was 12.
So that's what I'm thinking: sell nylon and buy XT22TR or just sell Nylon and pocket cash.
Then again, the way rimfire ammo is these days, perhaps I shouldn't bother.
