I can appreciate sentimental attachment. I can understand price point. And I can even understand brand loyalty.
There are a few thing from my personal experience I can share.
Marlin 60 or Glenfield or whatever they are called
Are finicky and overcomplicated, not to mention the poor quality control over the years.
This is only my opinion of them after working on probably 50 of them over the years in the shop. I finally stopped taking them in at all because there are easier ways to work for peanuts that are more enjoyable.
If you have one that you love I am genuinely happy for you. There are guns I own that are not the best built and are mostly garbage. I am more thinking why ruger would build another 22 when the 10/22 has more aftermarket support, and is a better gun overall.
