My Dad and I both own a Marlin Model 60. The only reason I have mine still, is because it was my grandpa's. I just don't care for tube mags outside of lever guns. Plus, it just doesn't have near the aftermarket options to customize/make it my own. It's bone stock with an inexpensive scope. I rarely shoot it. I just don't really enjoy it. Don't get me wrong though... for an inexpensive rifle, it is great, particularly if you just want a bone stock plinker.
I know this sounds like a horrendously stupid question, but to create a M1 Carbine tribute, I'd need buy the "carbine" version of the 10/22, right?
No, just the standard 1022RB will do. (The cheapest one)
Ruger 10/22?
I was talking with friend about 10/22s, and I think that almost any one who owns more than a few guns has a 10/22. I think every one should have at least one...
