Tough Choice: M60 or 10/22

I don't know that there is much more I can tell you to convince you. Clearly I've made the case, but on the other hand, I understand that at some point, enough is enough. I, too, have passed on some purchases because I have become saturated on some level.

These are, after all, toys (for a lack of a better term) that are "wants" and not "needs".

Like many people, I've owned both. Choose your poison.

Minuses:

10/22 - standard barreled models are less accurate than many 22 rifles

M60 - needs to be cleaned every 250 rounds or so to avoid feeding problems.

Pluses:

10/22 - Ultra reliable

M60 - Very accurate on average

Every tube fed model 60 I've owned has been reliable when cleaned regularly. And the least accurate of them was more accurate than the most accurate 10/22 I've had.

The 10/22 is more dependable and the king of the 22 semi-automatic rifle modification/customization world.

Personally, I would also consider the Remington 597. It's every bit as accurate as the M60 and probably more reliable. I also think it fits the average sized adult better than the other two as well.
