How Much Is a Marlin Model 60 Rifle Worth? (2026 Value Update)

How Do We Calculate Used Marlin Model 60 Values

Marlin Model 60 value is affected by condition, model or variant, and accessories or upgrades.

Condition and Values

Marlin Model 60 rifles in the best condition are worth the most. Naturally, this means ones sold brand-new and from a retailer generally sell for the most money.

To find a used or preowned gun’s condition, get it appraised professionally. Gun appraisal usually has a fee, but we do it for free if you’re selling to us.

To see how we professionally evaluate your firearm (for free) and turn that condition into a payout, view our 3-step selling process for a guaranteed FFL offer.

You can use these tiers to how much is your Marlin Model 60 worth once you know the condition:

Like-New or Mint

• Top values for preowned guns
• Never used and it shows
• Perfect form and function

Excellent

• About 10% less than mint
• Rarely used, so hardly worn
• Near-perfect form, perfect function

Very good

• About 20% less than mint
• Lightly used, only lightly worn
• Great form, perfect function

Good

• About 30% less than mint
• Used often but handled with care
• Worn but not ugly, perfect function

Fair

• About 40% less than mint
• Used often and not handled with care
• Wear may be ugly, mostly intact function

Poor

• About 50% less than mint
• Very worn and may be scratched, rusted, or dented
• May not even work

How We Appraise Model 60 Variants

There are a lot of Model 60 variants. It might take us forever to go through all of them.

This is why we’ll limit our list below to the ones we see sold or asked about most often in resale. Note that as with most other guns, limited editions or collectibles are worth more.

Marlin Model 60 Value (Basic Version)

The average used Marlin Model 60 (Basic Version) is worth $70 to $150.

This is the original version of the Model 60, based on the Marlin Model 99. Changes from the Model 99 included swapping out the walnut stock for birch and the steel inner tube for brass.

Marlin Model 60C Value (Carbine)

The average used Marlin Model 60C is worth $100 to $240.

This introduced a shorter 19” barrel (the standard is 22”) and came in a variety of synthetic stocks with camo patterns. It also had adjustable sights and a cross-bolt safety.

Marlin Model 60 SB Value (Stainless Steel Barrel)

The average used Marlin Model 60SB is worth $150 to $400.

The stainless steel Marlin Model 60 provides increased durability and corrosion resistance. Some also favor it for its shiny aesthetic appeal.

Marlin Model 60 DL Value (Deluxe)

The average used Marlin Model 60 DL is worth $100 to $250.

The deluxe Model 60 is actually the same as the basic model 60, with the chief differences being aesthetic ones. The birch stock is replaced with a hardwood stock finished in Walnutone, for instance.

Still, these upgrades already mean you can sell a Marlin Model 60C for a little more than the basic version.

Marlin Model 60 DLX 50th Anniversary Edition Value

The average used Marlin Model 60 DLX 50th Anniversary is worth $100 to $250.

This deluxe version is again very similar to the basic model, but upscaled with a walnut stock and gold fill on the roll marks. You're most likely to sell a Marlin Model DLX like this to collectors.

Marlin Model 60 SN Value

The average used Marlin Model 60 SN is worth $110 to $250.

This is another Model 60 very similar to the base rifle, with the chief defining difference being its black fiberglass stock.

Marlin Model 60 SS Value (Stainless Steel)

The average used Marlin Model 60 SS is worth $200 to $400.

This uses nickel-plated stainless steel for high durability even in humid conditions. The stock is typically laminate.

Overall, it's a fairly attractive piece for wet-weather hunting. You can sell a Model 60 like this most easily right before hunting season.

Marlin Model 60 SSK Value (Stainless Steel)

The average used Marlin Model 60 SSK is worth $200 to $400.

This is another of the stainless steel Model 60 rifles, but fitted with a black fiberglass stock instead of wood or laminate. Again, popular with the wet-weather-hunting crowd, so try to sell your firearm right before the fall hunting season.

Marlin Model 60 Ducks Unlimited Value

The average used Marlin Model 60 Ducks Unlimited is worth $250 to $500.

This is a limited edition version of the Model 60 that even comes with a Ducks Unlimited medallion. With stainless steel, a laminated wood stock, and a duplex-style reticle, it’s considered collectible.

You're best off selling guns like these to people who actually collect Marlins. Try us, as we often buy collectible guns!

This is a model that holds value well. Because it’s a premium firearm in the line, we use a secure gun shipping and buying system to ensure every transaction is fully insured and legally compliant.

How Accessories Affect What We Pay for a Model 60

Generally, buyers will be uninterested in accessories for a gun. This is because they only want to buy the gun, most of the time.

That being said, some accessories can increase the value of the gun as an overall package. This is if they’re in good condition.

Original Box and Papers

If your original box is in good condition, consider adding it to your Model 60 for a small boost in value.

Value: Around $15 to $30 for the matching box and papers.

Scope

The Model 60 came with a mount ready for a scope. If you have a good one to attach to the gun, you may be able to recoup some of its original purchase value.

Value: Around 30% to 50% of original value.
