I was looking at some of Quinn's Gun Blast videos on You Tube yesterday, and found one on one of the best Marlin Model 60's I've ever seen. It is a limited production, 50th Anniversary Edition.

MUST.

WANT.

MUST.
NOT.

I want a Sig P238, I want a Kel-Tec RFB, I want a Sig 1911 Blackwater, I cannot afford to be distracted like this!

I've seen a bunch of stock model 60s that out shoot $1000 10/22s

Like all tublar mags, cleaning them is very important. more so with a blow back action.

I just checked stock with Davidson's and they're all sold out. When I ordered mine yesterday there were 7 in stock, now it's showing 0. They really went fast. Bill T.

Just some math I found interesting as well as impressive. While watching Jeff Quinn's video on the Marlin Model 60, he mentioned that in the 50 years Marlin has been producing the Model 60, they have produced over 11,000,000..... eleven million of them. If you divide that out it comes to a little over 602 rifles manufactured and sold per day. 7 days a week, 365 days a year, for 50 straight years! That's a pretty phenomenal achievement for a single .22 rifle. I can't even begin to imagine the amount of ammunition that has been fired through them in that time. Bill T.

I put Melanie to work with her shovel and she did some digging and came up with this on the new Marlin 60 DLX 50th Anniversary Edition.

The DLX--- S/N was the pre-production number and only 1,000 were made from DLX000 to DLX999. The regular production numbers are DL0000 to DL9999 and only 10,000 will be produced in 2010 then that's it! No more Black Walnut!

So, with that said, this line is still a short run of 11,000, (less than 1/10th of 1% of total production to date), with the first 1,000 of the DLX numbers being a little more collectible somewhere down the road. Bottom Line, these rifles are going to be harder and harder to find as more and more are being put into gun safes for collectibles, and simply put it's the best looking model 60 ever made. If your a Marlin 60 lover you'll want to have one. Bill T.

These are some quick pictures I took this morning. I'm pretty pleased with the stock. It's a nice looking .22 for the money. The Walnut looks so much richer than the Birch. Bill T.
