Marlin 60. Tube fed, so it will lay flat on the shooting rest/bench. Fabulous accuracy & will outshoot any 10/22 made right out of the box.

I don't know enough about the Marlin 60 to know of it's more accurate or not BUT I do know I hate 22 tubular magazines. The 10/22 rotary mags and BX-25 are alone enough to make me buy a 22. No other gun manufacturer makes a more reliable 22 mag. They all can be finicky, have feeding problems etc.
The 10/22 will make plinking fun. If you're looking for moa accuracy then heck you already have your cz.

if you are looking on the used market and want to pick up a classic for your kids... I picked up this Belgian Browning last summer for $300... it is tubular, but loads through the butt stock... if you have an AR a .22lr conversion is an option, though not very accurate without a dedicated barrel... and as posted, an aluminum trigger housing 10/22 would be my first choice

Can't go wrong with either a Marlin 60 or Ruger 10/22 both have plus and minus points..
I've sold all my 10/22's but kept My Marlin 60, The 60 shoots better, handles better and the I like the high capacity tube mag over getting dirty fingers loading 10/22 mags and the PIA of having to tote 10/22 mags around plus I never had nothing but utter unreliability from factory Ruger 10 rd rotary mags. I think the new production 60's aren't as good or nice as the old Marlin made ones, But since millions of 60's were made they are very common and cheap on secondary market, I see tons of used older ones in excellent condition with the stickers still on them in local pawnshops usually at half the price of a used 10/22. |

Ahh, the eternal debate...
Ill say this, as I have shot both the 10/22 and 60 extensively and I own both. The 60 probably has a better barrel out of the box which gives it great accuracy. The 10/22 has a better action and maybe trigger. Both the 60 and 10/22 can and will have issues with certain types of ammo. I own one other 22 which is an old Stevens Model 60, which will eat anything you want to throw at it, and is still more accurate than I am, but is kind of a pig to carry around. Its my old school, iron sighted rifle that I let people shoot that have never shot before when they want to learn. If you want a gun that you just want to shoot and never do anything else with it, a Model 60 with maybe a new set of sights like from Tech Sites. If you want a range toy that you can tweak on and replace every part, the 10/22 is probably for you. Myself, at the range when Im attempting to hit the black, the 10/22 with a few upgrades is the gun I shoot. When Im going hunting for small game, the Marlin 60 because of its slimmer profile and its lighter than my 10/22. |

I figure I'm wasting my breath but unless you can find a pre-warning 10-22 I'd not buy one. The new 10-22s are just crap. Ruger figured out they could cut corners and the rubes would still by a 10-22 and then end-up stripping it down to the receiver and throw money at it to make it sorta accurate. Don't be a rube.
You are really missing the boat discounting tube-fed .22s. There are so many types of such semi-auto .22s that are hands and feet above a 10-22 as far as trigger and accuracy there are too many to list. That said if you must have a mag fed semi-auto .22 the older Marlins are a good choice. The used gun rack at your LGS and pawn shop is your friend. Now if you like the strange and unusual the Russian built Baikal MP161K is a good choice if you can find one. Built like a T-34, accurate, has a good trigger, adjustable comb, 10 round mag (comes with two), and very, very handy. My only knock on it is the barrel is not thick enough to thread.

Why didn't you like your Remmy? I bought one used at a pawn shop for $100.00, and dug a Tasco Scope (3x9x40) for $20.00 and a Butler Creek sling ($5.00) out of the bargain bin from the same joint. After some serious cleaning and free floating the barrel off the stock (just some sandpaper) it's damn near my favorite firearm now. I can put 50 shots (yes, a whole box) in a 1 inch circle at 50 yds. using CCI std. velocity. If you had any sort of problem, it was probably the magazine. Supposedly the ones with a "10" in a circle on the bottom are the best ones; load 7 or 8 rounds instead of 10 to make them perfect. I like it MUCH better than the 10/22 due to the fact that it's bigger, heavier and has a stock that gives me a better cheek weld. And the 597 has true studs for a sling- I had to do some work to get a sling to attach to the Ruger's barrel band.
Would I favor a Ruger American over my 597? Dunno. I'm gonna solve that one later this year- if I don't get a CZ. Right now I'm kinda leaning towards the Ruger, as I find them to be excellent performers at an excellent price point. Give the 597 another look- I think you'll be favorably impressed. |

You really haven't stated what the rifle's primary use will be or what criteria it must meet, other than being under $300 and a stick magazine.
You can thread pretty much any bbl, might need a separate adapter made and sights moved/removed. Does it need the ability to accept optics, peep sights? Is this going to sit on a bench or be dragged through the brush? What yardages will it most likely see? Are you planning to keep it stock or do you need a large availability of aftermarket parts? I love my 10/22. It's well past $300, but there isnt a single thing it cant hit within 100yds. But, the best $88 I've ever spent on a NIB rifle is this one. 
Mossberg Plinkster Havent found a round it wont shoot. Ive had it for about 10yrs, its never seen a bore brush or patch and it keeps a sub MOA group at 40yds, suppressed. For the price, I bought 2 and stuck one in a G36 airsoft rifle

Yes, you can get a 10/22 for sub $300, but by the time you get it to where it should be, you'll be over that price point. I'm with 1srel, if you can find an older 10/22 go for it. If you're shopping for something new though, I'd go for the S&W. Mine is box stock and is vastly superior to what my Ruger was when it was box stock. That Savage looks kind of cool too. |

The 10/22 is a better design. It is more robust and has simpler internals the the Model 60.
There was a gunsmith over at rimfirecentral that estimated most 60's needed a rebuild after about 5000 rounds. If I can find the post I'll link to it. But it's pretty apparent to anyone that has actually taken both guns apart. The 60 is not something you would want to strip down in the field.
