The major difference marlin 60 vs ruger 10/22 stock MARLIN kicks the rugers ass. But if you start upgrading the 10/22 ruger nothing can touch it.

now if you talking about the more tactical AR models BY FAR HANDS DOWN the SIG 522 beats the hell out of the S&W 22, the GSG 22, ect.

The 10/22 may be the most prolific, but I wouldn't call it the greatest. The problem is that I'm hard pressed to settle on a "greatest" choice at the moment.

The 1st one that comes to mind is the Browning Auto-22. First manufactured by FN in 1914, it's still in production today. It was also manufactured by Remington as the 241 Speedmaster from 1935 to 1949, and Norinco manufactures a clone as well. It's probably the slimmest, most elegant .22 semi auto ever designed. It's a delight to carry in the field and the gracefully contoured grip lends itself well to hours in the hand. The top feed and bottom eject with no exposed opening to the action make for superior reliability. Being a takedown design, it's also one of the easiest .22 autos to field strip and maintain ever made. The fire control system lends itself to easy tuning of the trigger for pull weight and overtravel. Replacement parts are also inexpensive when you wear them out, which is common because they're so fun to shoot. Produced in a .22 short model, they've been extremely popular "gallery guns". I remember shooting them at the Tulsa State Fair as a kid in the 70's.

Someone may come along and post a better choice, but I think this one tops the 10/22.

I have a 10-22, a Marlin 60, a couple of old single shots. They are all fun. The one I like the most is an old Browning Lever action I have. It is a BL-II I think. It has a tubular magazine and will shoot LR,L and .22 short. If they sold shorts in bulk packs that's all I would shoot out of it.
