I love Marlin 60’s, I have 8 myself.
The older ones hold 18 rounds in the tubular magazine.
With practice, all 18 rounds can be put in a target in about 3.5 seconds.
Extremely accurate and fast.
Guess we have to ban them, too...../s
That is what Frank Hamer said to a bunch of Mexican bandits guarding LBJ’s ballot box in Ducal County, Texas.
Only he left out the word “Now”. He put his hand on his .45 auto and said “git”, and they got.
Oops, that is Duval County.
Daddy had a model 60 except it had a different model number and looked like an M1 carbine. Same action tho.
It really was unusually accurate. Better than any 10-22 I have owned. I still prefer the 10-22 because it is accurate enough and so much you can do with them.
I used to look down on the Model 60. Then I started looking for guns to give to people.
I purchased a couple of used model 60's, I started playing with them. I came to appreciate them.
They are excellent rifles in their own right.
There are lots of videos on the Internet on how to tweak them and make them even better.
I hope they catch the pervert before the idiot runs into somebody with less patience and good aim.

... or before he runs into someone with no gun/ability to defend themselves.
She will be fortunate if he doesn’t engage some slimy lawyer to file a lawsuit against her.
Either way - he will recover and return to his vile ways.
She should have put a round through his eye into the brain housing unit.

Maybe it’s in the dictionary (Lewder), but I’ve never seen that form of this word in use before. Oh well.
Lee.... How wonderful to see proper grammar on FB. We are seeing the educational decline happening before our eyes. My apologies to those that have to type and post so fast.
Sometimes the warning shot is effective. I probably would have done the same thing in broad daylight. At night not so much.
Cool story!
Some words may be technically correct, but do not have a good overall sound, and thus are rarely used in context.
Think of the word LAIN, one of the past forms of LAY.
Nobody I know ever uses the word ‘lain’, unless in a poetic sense.
“While the warning shot may or may not have been necessary,”
Oh, fer crying out loud! It worked, didn’t it!
Lewdest,,,
Welcome to Costco!
The Marlin model 60 is a far more accurate rifle than most shooters.
LOL! Yep.
I’ve been seeing some moronic speech working its way into linguistic activism and being approved by some younger English academics. One example is the use of the phrase, “different than.” It implies a difference in quantity or extent between two items.
The proper use is still “different from.” One thing is different from another. It’s only distinguished from another thing with no implication of being more “different than” another thing. Do you see?
Writers should be required to write “more different than” instead, to make their idiocy more obvious to the less educated readers. “Duh.” ;-)
BTW, I’m not wanting people to be so particular in informal comments to a discussion board like this one. The complaint is about journalists writing articles for big publications.
