I upgraded the wifes marlin 60
She claims she liked the look of the wood stock better, but the feel and comfort of the new stock far outweigh the aesthetic shortcoming.
I think it looks mean as hell for a marlin 60, and the PFI .22LR scope makes it crazy out to 200 yds.

Re: I upgraded the wifes marlin 60
Sorry Josh, I like most of what you have done but this one, not so much. I will go along with Beth and Bob.
But that scope is FINE.

Re: I upgraded the wifes marlin 60
Josh, get you a camo sling from John. That pink has got to go! Don't they make that tape in pink cammo?

Re: I upgraded the wifes marlin 60
I'm still in the process of modding my Wifey's Marlin 60...
Boyd's Thumbhole Stock stained pink & a BSA scope... DIP Trigger Guard & Adjustable Target Trigger... (have to remember to get the safety button, lol) Waiting on DIP to come out with a Pink charging handle...hehehe Hoping to find a good pink leather sling somewhere...might have to settle for pink web sling... And its eventually going to get Duracoated Pink...or I'll finally order a Stainless barrel & tube for it... For those wondering why there's a Recoil pad on a .22lr?? My wife has had 4 shoulder surgeries...so even .22lr stings...but with the slip-on pad, she can enjoy any .22 or .223 we've got

Re: I upgraded the wifes marlin 60
That's why we call it customizing!
I got tired of looking for a stock I liked for this one so I customized one myself! Just a cheep scope I had around though, I'll be changing it. Oh and ditto on that scope JLA. I gotta look that up but probably outta my reach for the .22. I like thin crosshairs but can't find that on a budget scope. |
