Marlin 60 rifles are, and always have been, among the most handsome. One of the "secrets" of the Model 60's success is its streamlined, timeless styling. All regular Model 60 series rifles use the traditional 14-shot brass tubular magazine with a Marlin patented closure system. These are based on a Model 60 action that is fed from a removable clip magazine rather than the standard (and generally superior) tubular magazine. These are the Models 7000, 795, 795SS, and 70PSS synthetic stocked rifles. In addition to the above, there are the Marlin "70" series. These include the base Model 60 with a walnut finished laminated hardwood stock, the deluxe Model 60DL with a Walnutone stock finish that simulates exhibition grade walnut, the Model 60C with a Mossy Oak Breakup camouflage pattern hardwood stock, the Model 60SSK with a stainless steel metal finish and checkered black fiberglass-filled synthetic stock, the Model 60SS stainless with a two-tone black/gray laminated stock, and the Model 60SB stainless with a walnut finished laminated hardwood stock. The 2006 Marlin catalog lists 6 variations of the Model 60. ("Revelation" was the Western Auto brand, for example.) Penny, Western Auto, and Montgomery Ward. Model 60 variations have also been stamped with private label names and sold by mass merchandisers such as J.C. Introduced in 1960, it is still going strong today. 22 rifle with, according to Marlin, well over 11 million produced. The Marlin Model 60 is the world's most popular.
