Love my Marlin 60. I bought it in the 80's. Shot a million rounds with barely a hitch. Did need to replace the buffer. Bought one on eBay for about $4. Great rifle.
I love my Canik Rival. Excellent price and love the trigger. Plus its nice that a holster and extra mag are included. I use it for competitive Steel Challenge and IDPA. Perfect for that stuff I think! PLUS, almost forget, it comes with lots of different mount plate for an optic!
