Does anyone have one of these?

I found one on craigslist for 100$ brand new in the box never opened.

Should i go for it?

i have heard more bad than good about those, not sure if i would own one personally new marlin model 60's can be had for around 130.00, and is a time tested 22

Yea, ive got some model 60's.
I hate how long they take to load, wanted a clip fed semi auto.
Maybe a 10/22?

10/22 would be the most awesome bet

Marlin does make the Model 795, clip-fed version of the Model 60. At one time, they even had a heavy-barrel target version - might be good to check the auction sites and locate one?
I've also heard mixed reviews on the 702. I am a Mossberg collector, but haven't been tempted by this new upstart from Brazil.

Another excellent option is the Armscor M22C - it has a stock patterned after the Ruger 10-22, and the action is closest to the old Mossberg M152/352 series, and has a nice rugged 10-round box magazine. Just got mine - it puts my Marlin M60 and Ruger 10-22 to shame! It may not be imported anymore, but is worth a look.

if you're gonna buy a .22 autoloader, your best bet would be with a ruger 10/22
