Ruger 1022 vs Marlin 60 vs Remington 552


In this video I briefly discuss three popular .22 hunting rifles. I will be comparing them at my range in terms of accuracy, dependability, and overall design, fit and finish. If you own a Ruger 1022, Marlin 60, or Remington 552, you will find this little review quite interesting.

  1. I have a Marlin model 60. I've replaced the recoil spring because it was bent. But I'm still having problems with the rifle will not eject the spent shell. How do I fix this?

  2. I had a mod 60 that i dunked the bore and all moving parts in sweetshooters, in a steel trough, put in a oven at 130 degrees, for a week. Then did the same thing, with molybdenum disulfide paste. With a 6 x 24 scope, and depending on ammo….and i tested all 22 ammo…. It was half moa or better, at 100, for 5 shot groups, not 3. The biggest problem with 22s is, there's so many different brands and types of 22 ammo, that u can test day in and day oyt, for a couple weeks, to find, say, 5 brands and types of ammo, your rifle will sub moa with.

  3. Nice video! I have several 22 rifles. Including my Dad's Browning SA 22 Made in Belgium 1972. I inherited. I would never let that one go. But if I had to choose just 1 of my others to keep above all others. It would have to be my Remington 550-1 made Sept. 1955. Barrel is stamped Williams patent # . Really cool I think. The thing has never! And I mean never jammed. I've had dud rounds of course. But if the round fires. It's going to be ejected. The next one chambered!!! It's extremely accurate. The weight and feel is superb. Just a fine 22 rifle. The only con. Is cleaning it. After about 500 round the floating chamber needs taking out. Giving a good cleaning and light oiling.

  4. I am a big fan of the Marlin Model 60. it would be easy to not build the biggest competitor to the 10/22; but on the other hand, why not build both if Ruger is making money off of both? Having a healthy rivalry between the 10/22 and the Model 60 would only boost sales of both.

  5. I have that 552 in the BDL version and regardless of the ammo in LR or short it’s a tack driver at 50 yrds 4x scoped.
    Own a 10/22 also and can’t say one bad thing about it except it won’t shoot shorts😀

  6. I have owned three 10/22's last one was bought new three years ago and was the best of the three. In 79 I bought a Marlin/Glenfield model 60 with squirrel stock and Rough Rider badge inlay. I also have my father's Remington 550-1 that was bought by him used in 1950. All three guns are fantastic shooters. Due to let's say sentimental issues I no longer hunt with Dad's gun nor do much plinking because it was dads and will be handed down to my kids. Same goes for my Model 60 it was the first gun I ever bought and like the 550-1 is all original no parts nor repairs have ever been replaced/performed on either rifle. The 10/22 was bought to take over hunting and plinking duties and though it is only a few years old and shoots fantastically it has already had to have the trigger assembly replaced. The 10/22 is the most finnicky of the three about ammo but not that bad really just comparatively to the others. Don't think I do not ever shoot the Marlin or Remington anymore because I do take them out to the range on occasion and put a few rounds down-range. The best groups I get is with the Model 60, but I have to admit I have put more rounds through that gun than any I own. I hunted with the Marlin starting the day I bought it till a few years ago when I basically retired it so yeah, I should get the best groups with it. All that aside I love the three I mentioned here but they aren't all the 22 rifles I have. Gotta love .22's best gun ever for small/medium game, varmint, control, and plinking.

  7. I got lucky about 2 years ago and found a Glenfield M60 with the sportsman badge in the stock at a pawn shop. Had it priced at $50. Needless to say it came home with me

  8. This is one of the best firearms videos on YouTube: no clickbait, clear and thorough presentation, informative, and entertaining. I have all three of these rifles and each one does what it does extremely well. I prefer the way the Remington handles because the 'off hand' does the charging. It may also be a preference for left-handed shooters. Bravo and sub'd!

  9. The Ruger 10/22 Carbine is in a class by it's self compared to all other common .22 rifles. Magazine fed, easy to field strip breaks down into components like a military rifle. lots of add on parts made for them. That makes it the best common .22LR rifle in the world.

  10. My first rifle was the Marlin model 60 with a 4X scope I bought at K-Mart for around $65.00 in 1977. I still have it. I also have a Ruger 10-22. Love both of them. The Marlin will jam after two boxes. I take a toothbrush and clean out all of the crud and it works just fine. The Ruger just works no matter how many boxes I run through it. Stay safe everyone and have fun plinking.
