I bought a new Marlin model 60 semi auto 22 for hunting small game this year and what a piece of SHIT it is.. 3.5 inch groups at 50 yards is the best it would do and I tried 7 different kinds of ammo. Oh yeah, it has about a 10 lb. trigger pull too. And yep I went over all the mounting screws for the scope, cleaned the bore before I started and got as much of the rust color out of the barrel as I could. Now, I called Rem. and after going through an exhaustive list push 1 if you want this or that I finally got to talk to a customer service rep. and he told me it could be 8 weeks before I get my rifle back. WTF Don't believe all these reviews about Rem/Marlins are getting better it's bullshit.
