I never had a problem with jamming in my Ruger 10/22. I HAVE had a lot of problems with FTF with W.W.Wildcat and Remington Yellowjacket ammo. The last bulk ammo I bought was Remington Yellowjacket. So many FTF I just gave them away. Marlin Model 60 and Winchester Model 190/290 (as all firearms should)MUST be kept free of the oily powder residue to function properly.

CCI .22 LR Stingers don't jam or misfire.

If a model 60 jams when clean and using good quality ammo, the usual culprits are the feed throat and /or cartridge lifter is/are worn.

I have a 10/22 that I sent to Clarke years ago, its a tack driver and I can remember it ever jamming.

I own a 10/22. I can't even begin to count how many thousands of rounds I've fed through it. The only problems I've ever had were with aftermarket magazines.
I suspect that if kept clean and maintained either the Marlin or the Ruger will give good, trouble-free service for a long time.

I have a Ruger 10/22 and I cannot count the number of bricks of .22LR that I have shot through it.
If it jammed with factory magazines, I cannot remember when. But stuff happens.
I have had jams with those 20/30 round plastic lipped aftermarket magazines and there is a reason why.
Ruger decided to use steel lips on their magazines and that is a major reason why this rifle is so reliable in feed. The feed lips don’t wear out or bend. A friend of mine shot a Glenfield .22LR until the feed lips in the receiver wore out, then that rifle became a jam a matic.
It is important to clean these things for best reliability. Rimfire bullets are waxed. Wax evaporates on firing and then condenses on the action parts. For all semi automatics, breech friction is a bad thing, for a rim fire blow back action, all that wax will simply gum up the action.
So clean it out.

I am with Isher bolt actions.
Although I have had a jam in my Savage MarkII in probably 4,000 plus rounds through it. My Rossi 62a pump has not jamed even once in the several thousands rounds I have put through it. I have has misfires but not one jam.

A real useless gun is that Charter Arms Ar-7 it jams on every shot. Might as well make it a single shot.That useless old model 60 is pretty close to worthless, but I'll give you 25.00 for it.
I'll bet that I could get it to run well in an hour. Re-read rangerrucks post a few back.

Thanks for the info I will.
There are 11 million Model 60's out there and 5 million 10/22's. That's a lot of guns covering a lot of years. They can vary from year to year or even decade to decade. Fox example I have a new Model 60 that jams pretty often probably because it isn't broken in well. But I have another 60 that I bought in 1988 that has never jammed much at all. It will shoot any ammo without jamming except maybe Remington bulk type ammo. I have a 2000 60 that only jams once in a while. So all 60's are far from being equal. With the Rugers the aftermarket mags cause a lot of jams. People might not be taking that into account. To be fair the question would have to involve only 10/22's with stock mags.
I voted for the Marlin because of the many aftermarket mags around for the Rugers. That makes them jam more often IMO and nearly everyone uses them. I don't know how to answer any other way because there aren't enough people using stock Ruger mags that I know.
Comparing a bolt action to semi-autos isn't exactly fair. Even still my MkII has lots of FTE issues. Many MkII's have problems like that. They also have problems feeding from the mags. They shoot great though.

I have both the 60 and the 10/22. Both are fun to shoot, but I have found that the Marlin will cycle cheap and dirty rounds better than the Ruger. Both function fine until they get really dirty on the inside but the 60 has more room inside of it to collect all the gunk away from vital parts. The tube feed marlin is way more reliable than those goofy rotary mags that the 10/22 uses. Even with a cleaned and freshly tensioned mag, the thing still finds a way to jam up with rounds still inside it.
Just my $0.02

rotary mags are THE most reliable design.
