If your M60 Marlin is the one like I owned, I bought one for $29.00 in 1960. It was a semi-auto called a Marlin Glenfield, no?  Mine put the hurt on hundreds of rats at a dump almost every weekend. 

But my "bloodiest" would no doubt be my M70 .264 purchased in 1965. It's responsible for 95% of the big-game critters I've bloodied, starting with this Kaibab buck.

I’m not sure how to answer this in terms of bloodiest. From a literal standpoint the only thing that still has blood on it is my Z7, but that’s not a gun. LoL

in terms of volume of blood shed...

This is the updated version of that "bloodiest" 1965 M70 .264, 40 years later after Robar Inc. did an NP3 coating on it and added a McMillan stock. Too many miles in a saddle scabbard had done a job on the wood stock and bluing.

Glenfield m60 plus cheap scope accounted for thousands of gophers (actually Columbian Ground Squirrels) on our ranch in Montana while I was in my teens.
