    New Addition to the Family

    So today I purchased a brand new Marlin Model 60! Now I have something for newbies I take to the range to use

    The Mossy and SKS might be a bit much for someone who's never fired a gun before.

    Now to find some effing ammo
    I could be wrong...it's happened before and it'll happen again.

    .22 is plentiful around Rochester. Congrats on the new toy.

      Thanks! I've got a few rounds but not many. The place I got it from didn't have any in stock. I'll look a few other places sometime this week.

        That was my very 1st firearm. Way back in '73.

            Thanks! I wanted something inexpensive but reliable. Hell, I'll probably shoot it quite a bit, lol!

              Nice addition. I should have bought that one instead of a Ruger 10/22

                Why so? I was deciding between the Marlin or a 10/22. Ultimately the price won, lol! I've read they're both good rifles.

                  Congrats! That is a reliable action. I ran my 795 (mag fed version of the 60) for a full weekend of gravel, mud, and rain at the last Appleseed, shot a whole brick of CCI without a hiccup. Put some Techsites on that baby and teach the noobs how to shoot old school.

                  I have to bend over too far

                  I get a boner.

                  bareback every couple of days, GTG. Bareback, brokeback, same $hit!

                  I joined a support group to help me deal with my social anxiety but I just can't seem to work up the nerve to go to a meeting......

                    I've got a few noobs that want to shoot but I just needed something a little less intimidating than a Mossy 500 or SKS.

                        I have a tough time getting the 10/22 mags out

                            I know Thughes is a iron sight guy but I put a $60 Truglo red dot on my 10/22 so my grandkids hit stuff and don't get discouraged.

                              If you like irons, don't waste your money on anything else:
