I’ve been having a hankering for a semi auto .22. My first choice is a Marlin Mod 60. I want a tubular mag. New 60’s can be had for $180 but recently I have (unsuccessfully) been trying to buy some used guns. I have yet to locate a used model 60 but I have found a Winchester 550 at a local pawn shop. It’s marked $169 but I think I could get it for $150. My research indicates they are interesting in that they will reliably cycle .22 short. Not that I foresee myself shooting much of that. The gun looks complete and in decent condition but also like it hasn’t been cleaned since the forties when it was likely made.
Any body have/had one or thoughts?
Winchester 550?
