CCI Ammo Test with the “Best” Marlin 60
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 сер 2024
- Out at the farm with a classic (but new to me) Marlin Model 60.
I test four types of CCI ammo to see which will group the best
******
All shooting done at a private range.
Do not attempt this at home.
Got one at K-mart in 1975,still new in box!
Those Quiet rounds put a lot of squirrels in my freezer when I lived in the city limits!
If you watch your group progressions you will notice the first shot was always the furthest out shot in tour groups. This was probably due to the new rounds clearing out the previous rounds lubrication. Each ammo uses a different lube or no lube/copper wash. Next time fire 2 rounds of the new ammo to “settle” the bore condition before grouping. Remember, when hunting the first shot is the most important. Nice video, thanks!
Marlin 60 is a great lil rifle as long as you keep it clean...My first .22 rifle was that rifle with tiger maple pretty lilthang...i still shoot an hunt squirrels with it..I shoot Hornady .22 with her an never had any issues compared to the CC I's they wont hold a good group cause they are so damn hot...I have a crazy ass Redfield scope on her a little over kill but fun to shoot with a 3×9×40..I swapped it off my Remington .308 lol...I can pluck a tick ofd a dogs ass at 100yrd all day an have a decent group. My friends say im nutz an crazy cause of it...but at the end of the day I have the most squirrels..
When sighting a scope, if you are not on the paper, move closer to the target to see what direction to adjust the scope for roughing it in. Then move back to the distance you want for fine adjustment.
I have almost this exact same rifle, I bought it at a True Value Hardware Store in Western Colorado in 1985, my very first rifle I bought. This is my favorite rifle in my collection
I can consistently hit 1 inch groups at both 25 and 50 yards with my Redfield 4x scope. I most commonly use CCi MiniMags
I got lucky and found a 1974 model 60 put a scope on it love it
I got extremely lucky just recently buying my 2 Marlin model 60s. 1987 and 1988
Very lucky!
I have a Model 60 (circa 1986) that has the 22" barrel and 18 round magazine, it loves CCI Min-Mag and Federal Match ammo.
YO. Good video. Nice shooting. I have had the same experience with Stingers, the faster the bullet the worse they group. Thanks for sharing and take care.
Thanks for watching!
I have one of the short barreled models. Used to have the longer barrel one, but gave it to my ex father in law years ago.
My dad owned one and he has pass it down to me, the thing hasnt been clean since he bought it use, in my possession of today i had replace most part and retune most springs, parts are hard to come by lol so far i had mine sighted at 20 yard, grouping is quarter size, has a tasco scope, and all she eats is cci mini mag, other ammo it will throw a fit, but i wouldnt replace the marlin model 60 with any other 22
my first gun was the model 60, bought it from Kmart in 1990 and it has the 18rd tube but also has the 22" barrel(measured from the breech face, not where it comes out of the receiver) and out of the box it is a tack driver inside 75yds. and aside from a couple dud rounds and sub sonic round like Eley's, i've never had a malfunction and it will accurately shoot anything you feed it. and for those that don't know, the trigger and recoil buffer are made out of plastic and prone to fail after a while, M*CARBO and Midwest Gun Works are your best bet for replacement parts. and since Marlin is owned by Ruger now, the model 60 is permanently out of production, they don't make parts for it nor do they offer gunsmithing services for them, and all warranties are void.
The buffer just broke on the one my dad handed down to me. Midwest was out of stock so I got one from Zephyr market just waiting on it to come in
@@parkeravant luckily the buffers are pretty easy to find.
In my quest to find my most accurate 22 I put a 9× scope on my older Glenfield mod 60 and with an old box of Winchester SuperX I got a 1/2" group at fifty yards! I'll swap the scope out for a 16× and try the Flyswatter challenge!
A gun is only as accurate as the shooter can be my model 60 is Very spot on at 50 or 100 yards with scope dialed in.
Well… that’s not always true.
Every gun is different and can prefer different ammo.
J’ai la même 👍
Nice rifle.
Thanks!
I have a 70&72 still running 😢parts are getting scarce 😮
I have been shooting CCI AR 40gr cprn 1200 fps In my guns they shoot better than most any other bullets..
If that Wrangler was consistently shooting low and had fixed sights, you could have filed down the front sight until it was brought into zero.
Yeah, I probably could have.
I’ll have the Super Wrangler soon enough and it’ll be all good.
I had one and bought another so I gave one to my nephew. One 86 and the other 88. The one I gave to Josh was the most accurate 22 that I have had.
I also have a 795 that is about as accurate.
Standard velocity 22lr ammo is subsonic. You dont need "subsonic" specific ammo.
Yes, any ammo traveling 1,116.4 ft/s and under is subsonic.
In this video, that includes the Subsonics and the Quiets.
@YonderOak it does vary by current air density however.
Subsonic ammo could cause the gun to jam because it might not have enough power to cycle the slide.
👍👍
How do you fix the rifle not ejecting the spent shell?
This one only didn’t eject them due to the powder charge being so low on the Queits. I had to hand cycle those.
i never found one with a trigger pull under 9 lbs so went with Ruger as could work the pull down easily ,,,,,
Just picked up a Marlin model 60 82 limited edition. It has the squirrels on ether side of stock gold trigger. And a medilion on rear of stock that reads " U.S. Calvary Commemorative". It also has a scope. Can anybody tell me anything about this rifle? I would appreciate it.
Yeah, they made several models that had diff medallions in the stock, some contracted by hardware stores. Worth a lil more than a plain one. I have owned a couple. My best one is a walnut stocked DU commemorative.
Can you use Winchester 22 win mag in these marlin? Or only the shorts? I’ve noticed the win mag dyna point is is quarter inch longer. Im just trying to be safe helping my neighbor
no
Any personal experiences with the 22 stingers shot out of a 14 round model 60 ????....
Yes. Pretty much the same result. The hyper velocity stuff just isn’t quite as accurate at a distance as subsonic rounds.
And if you’re using Stingers, it’s best to use them with a clean rifle and not after you’ve been shooting regular 22LR.
The case is just a bit longer on Stingers than regular 22LR and you may get cycling issues where the cartridge won’t seat entirely due to the chamber being dirty past where the normal case length ends, like what you see in this video.
@@YonderOak how about the federal punch....?
I’ve never used it.
@@YonderOak ok....thank you
Now that's how you make a good video 💯👍👏👏👏👎
Next time you can't get your Wrangler to shoot higher , gently cut down the top of the front sight with a file until it is shooting "point of aim" . Thats how its done on most old blackpowder pistols. If you dont want to modify your pistol , then find the poit on target for a center shot and learn to compensate .
You should just load them up 5 each in order in the tube then you won't have to load 5 at a time between tests.
The tube doesn’t hold that many rounds.
CCI should just stop making the " Stingers ". There not accurate. Concentrate on the accurate good ammo. They could save a lot of money, And save the customer money also.???
Why are you shooting a righthand gun lefthanded? If you were to shoot right (correct) handed) you wouldn't have the NEED to adjust the sight.😁
