*SOLD* 1976 Marlin Glenfield Model 60 .22 LR 22" *AMERICAN CLASSIC RIMFIRE RIFLE*

Bryant Ridge's Analysis

The Marlin Model 60, also known as the Marlin Glenfield Model 60, is a semi-automatic rifle that fires the .22 LR rimfire cartridge. Remington Arms has produced it in Huntsville, Alabama, formerly in Mayfield, Kentucky, and by Marlin Firearms Company of North Haven, Connecticut. The rifle has been in continuous production since 1960 and is known to be the most popular rifle of its kind in the world. The main features of the rifle include a micro-groove barrel, a cross-bolt safety, a hardwood stock with a Monte Carlo comb, and a brass or blued steel inner magazine tube. The Marlin Model 795 is very similar to the Model 60, the only difference being the acceptance of a detachable box magazine. The Model 60 is an excellent choice for small-game hunting and vermin control, as well as for low-cost target practice for those preparing for hunting with larger rifles. The rifle's relatively large ammunition capacity is adequate for casual recreational target shooting, also known as "plinking". The low price and ease of handling make it a perfect first rifle for young hunters who are learning to use a semi-automatic rifle.
