Having already better scope for Sako but havent put it yet Both guns were brand new when i bought them.

Both very accurate and good. I try to put some pics here tomororrow.

Those CZ rifles are very nice. I've been wanting one for myself.

He probably meant CZ Hater, because a 60 will NOT outshoot a CZ.

They are that mark. I have a 453 American and it is plumb sweet. I have had a problem or 3 with it though. Like rust, a sticking bolt, soft wood on the stock, and a set trigger that doesn't make the main trigger fire at times. But the sticking bolt and the set trigger problems seem to have gone away and I haven't had any rust since I started using a different oil to protect the finish. And I'm just more careful with the stock now than I was (I shouldn't need to be but there it is). If I had it to do over I'd but the same rifle again though. It shoots very accurate and it looks very nice.

It's rare any semi-auto is going to shoot more accurate than a good bolt action. But I have seen my 60SS shoot better groups than my CZ. It just doesn't happen often. It really isn't a fair comparison. Compare a 60 to other semi-autos though, and you have a rifle that really stacks up against more expensive competition. They won't shoot with the T/c's though but those rifles cost more than double the price of a 60. It's all relative as they say. But for sure a 60 is not going to shoot with a CZ on a regular basis. At least mine don't. I have 2 60's and I've had others. I have a CZ 453 and I've shot other CZ's. I know the CZ's are more accurate but not by as much as some would have us think. The last squirrel I shot I used my 60SS and I put a bullet right behind the squirrel's ear from 50 yards away. My CZ couldn't have done it any better.

Marlin 39 - no bout a dout it!

I have several, but, my favorite is the least expensive one I own. It's the first firearm I purchased $37 is what I payed for it back in 1979. It's a Marlin model 60. It's beat up,lots of scars and more beautiful than the day I brought her home.

I too have a small collection but my fav of all time is the Nylon 66 which I do Not own . I am still on the lookout for one at a decent price. Don't know why but the few times that i have been able to shoot one, it just feels right in my hands.
As for the models that I DO own, my remington 41 single shot bolt. she just does it for me.

I would have to say the H&R model 12. Bought two of them through the CMP,
One with sights and one without. Uncle Sam only bought the best. I left one on the original stock and re-stocked the other one with an old Remington stock I found in my FFL's trash barrel. Had to add a lot of wood to it to make it fit. Both of these guns shoot MOA at 100 yards.

My favorite hase to be the ruger 10/22. I have a savage model 64 and it jams practically every magazine. sent it back to savage and they say it's fine. so I went and bought the ruger and haven't jammed once.

I like this one, Armscor M1600 that the wife bought me. Accurate and works just fine as far as functions, gotta stick with the high velocity stuff, or at least DON'T shoot the cheap Thunderbolts in it, won't quite cycle the bolt enough to cock the firing pin.
