I have both and like both. One thing the author didn't bring up was that in an end of the world situation, having an integral magazine would be a definite plus....

To which rifle are you referring?
I also have both and I think, because of its longer barrel, that the Model 60 is slightly more accurate. BUT, I like the 10/22 more for its higher capacity from aftermarket magazines. I have 4 ea. of the Ramline mags that hold 30 or 50 rounds as well as a couple of the 10 round magazines. IIRC, the Model 60 is limited to about 18 .22LR cartridges.

I was referring to the Marlin with the integral magazine. I seldom shoot it as I really like the Ruger and have several in different configurations. My favorite Ruger is the one I tricked out into a Thompson look-alike. That one really handles much better now than it did before.
