im looking into a new rimfire. i love the fact that the ammo is so cheep so i can shoot all i want. i shoot my fathers marlin modle 60 with tube feed i dont like it im a trigger happy kind of guy. so i hate haqving to take the time to load and the gun loves to jam when i use the cheep remington rounds. so im lookin for a gun that is reliable dosnt jam with cheep ammo and has some kind of aftermarket clip that holds more than 20 rounds. the 10/22 seem very good and had alot of aftermarket products . but if anyone has some sugestion of some knowledge of the rimfire rifles on the market id love to hear it.

If semi-auto is what you want to shoot, the the 10/22 is the obvious choice. YLots of magazines available, including big drum magazines, though by the time you've loaded one, I'm not sure how much time you save? They aren't cheap enough that you'd want to buy many.

You'll spend two butloads of money making the 10-22 shoot as well as the Marlin 60, if you CLEAN! the action it will probobly stop jambing, you'll spend as much time loading the clips for the 10-22 as the tube of the Marlin, and the banana clips for te Rugger make it jamb worse than the Marlin!

Have a marlin mod 60 that i ressurected from the broken feed throat world... if the gun is OLD... take the time to upgrade to the improved feed throat and lifter / ejector spring... it makes a world fo difference... my Model 60 absolutely HATES Peters (Rem) High-Vel ammunition... it will not feed it properly and gets it started intot he bore and then kinks the case... One other issue on cleaning the 60... some loads tend to shave a sliver of lead from the bullet as it enters the bore. This lead buildup displaces into the extractor cutouts in the barrel or the barrel / receiver joint at the top of the receiver... which in turn prevents the bolt from going into battery fully... and in turn malfunctioning... I made a modification which i am testing to see if it improves feeding overall and reduces lead build-up... basically i put a small chamfer on the chamber... namely because the far extractor had dented the edge of the bore and prevented anything from chambering...
