New Marlin Model 60

GunnerGunz · Oct 1, 2016

I bought a new Marlin Model 60 today from Dick's was $164.98 less $10.00 because it was a display and had no lock. Plus Dick's advertised the Marlin $25.00 rebate. So I get home and go online to start the rebate process. I see the rebate ends 09/30/16 and I purchased on 10/01/16. Question is will Marlin honor the one day after rebate ends? If they do not I guess I will argue with Dick's for having the advertising on display after the rebate ended (in store not online). Not that $25.00 will break me but saying I got a Model 60 for $129.98 is pretty awesome.

Never hurts to ask.
If it makes you feel any better My Model 60 cost $39 (new,but no rebate)
It was a little while ago.

Love my model 60. It's a bit older as well. Think I paid $80 for it.

If I were you I'd get back over there before they take the display down. Then it's your word against theirs. Grab a manager on the way in, and let them know it influenced your decision. It's worth a shot.

I really love my Model 60's. I have a thing for the older ones. Paid $75 for my first one, used. Intended for it to be my sons first gun. It was so much fun to shoot I kept it and went out and bought another for him. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

LOL i'll bet a while ago, makes me remember I picked up a Winchester 94 back in 1991 for $150.00 at K-Mart

Every family should have one more model 60 than they have children. :thumbsup:

Here are a couple of good mods for the marlin 60.

This one is from DIP https://www.diproductsinc.com/Detail.aspx?PROD=156306&CAT=3603

This one from MCARBO http://www.mcarbo.com/store/p/27-Marlin-60-Trigger-Spring-Kit.aspx

The SIP metal trigger guard and wider trigger is probably the best upgrade you can make.

Although there are not many 3rd party mods for a Marlin 60, replacement parts are pretty easy to get for just about any component. So that's another thing the Model 60 has going for it.

And I also have to add; I just like the nostalgia of the tubular magazine. Reminds me of the rimfire rifles my friends had when I was a kid.

I love the 60...I bought the Glenfield 60 model back in 1982 when I was living in Minnesota (I was 12 and Dad bought it with my money)...got it at a hardware store that had a gun section...think we paid $15 for it back then...

Still have it and use it today...runs like a champ...no issues whatsoever with it...best money I ever spent.

Assuming the only differences now are mag capacity. ..

My kids will be learning to shoot with this rifle as soon as they are ready...

Yes on the tube mag, those box mags that stick out are skinny & fugly

No, that would be correct for 1991. Actually that would have been a good sale. In those days used prices would have typically been in $150 range, new retail more like $179 .

Yep, if I recall it was $225.00 reduced to $150.00 due to KMart getting out of the gun business. I was there to buy dog food and saw the sale and said crap this one is mine

Yeap.

1) I bought my 10/22 from there about 40 years ago for around $60

2) I worked there (the one in Security area) for one Christmas season while in college. I worked the sporting goods section.

Mine came from the one in Eudowood Plaza in Towson with the tilted showroom front.

Mine is a Glenfield with the Squirrel pressed stock. Had so many round though it and still extremely accurate.

I remember that store also.

My Marlin is a 99C, which is an upscale 60. Walnut stock.
