An economically priced rifle that's earned the title of "most popular 22 in the world." Since the Model 60 was first developed in 1960, it has continuously represented a great value. It has a 19" Micro-Groove rifled barre, cross-bolt safety, manual bolt hold-open and a patented automatic "last-shot" bolt hold-open, a safety feature that locks the bolt half way open after you've fired the last shot, allowing you to see clearly into the open action. And with features such as its hardwood Monte Carlo stock featuring the popular Mossy Oak Break-Up camouflage pattern, a brass inner magazine tube, which completely eliminates the rust problems you come us against with steel tubes, and a precision-crowned muzzle for enhanced accuracy, it's easy to see why the Model 60 continues to be one of America'a best selling rifles.

The 22 Long Rifle is the world's most popular cartridge, with annual production well into the billions of rounds. Developed in 1887 for blackpowder, it has been loaded with smokeless powder since the 1890s. The 22 Long Rifle is a rimfire cartridge using the .613-inch case developed for the 22 Long, but standard is a heavier 40-grain bullet at 1180 feet per second. .22 Long Rifle ammunition is widely manufactured and varies tremendously, from sub-sonic and match ammunition at lower velocities to lighter bullets at higher velocities, all the way to a 30-grain bullet at 1700 feet per second. With low report, almost no recoil, and superb accuracy the 22 Long Rifle has no equal for short-range target shooting, plinking, and training in both rifle and pistol; and with high velocity hollow-point ammunition is extremely effective for small game and pests out to perhaps 75 yards. Virtually all manufacturers offer 22 Long Rifle, with choices in both rifles and handguns in all action types. — Craig Boddington
