The Model 60 uses a simple blowback, semi-automatic action with right-side ejection and charging. Its tube-fed magazine runs nearly to the muzzle and offers a 15+1 capacity with .22 LR ammunition, making it a straightforward and reliable rimfire setup.
The 22 inch blued steel barrel employs Marlin's Micro-Groove rifling, which is a hallmark feature of the Model 60 line. This example retains open iron sights with a ramped front post and an adjustable rear sight with a step elevator for fine-tuning elevation.
The receiver top is cut with a 3/8 inch grooved dovetail designed for tip-off scope mounting, giving the option to add a compatible rimfire scope without modification. Controls and operation remain traditional to the platform and era.
It wears a one-piece hardwood stock with a straight comb and black buttplate, paired with a blued/black overall finish. The 13.5 inch length of pull supports a comfortable shoulder fit consistent with the Model 60's classic handling profile.
Made in the USA during the 1980s, this rifle comes from a long-running production line that has exceeded 11 million units, underscoring the Model 60's enduring place among rimfire semi-automatics.
