Marlin 795 thread

[Capt Jack]

Did anyone ever find extra 10rd mags under 25 besides midwest hunters outlet? With s&h its like 25 anyway.
My friend found them in livermore for 25, but I was hoping to find something a bit more.. affordable.
This reloading clips constantly is really cutting into my 15 min firing times at the range. gettin tired of it, but don't want to break the bank..

They didn't have any extra mags when I initially bought the rifle. Fortunately, I ended up going back to Big 5 for something else a few weeks later and found a 10 round for $17.99. They only had one, otherwise I would have bought more, but they do get restocked.

I also found a 7 round mag at a small local shop for about the same price. I now have 2 10 round and 1 7 round mag for this rifle. 27 rounds sounds like a bunch, but in a .22 it goes fast!

Check your local spots, you might get lucky and it never hurts to support the local places.

I got an extra mag from Big5 for $17.99 and another from Bass Pro for $19. Three lets me burn through ammo faster.

Just call your local Big5s. I picked up one when I picked up my rifle a couple days ago.

Just came back for Big 5 , They got them there for 15 and change.

Anyone elses 795 dirty when they bought it? I finally got a chance to clean mine after picking it up this week and didn't expect the left side of the bolt to be black and rough looking. The barrel had a decent amount of gunpowder inside. How many rounds does Marlin shoot to test a rifle?

[Kokopelli]

Yes, my 795 was dirty out of the box. The manufacturer did not clean it after they fired the proof load in it. When I got it home, I disassembled, cleaned and lubed it. I found some fine aluminum shavings in the bold/receiver from the machining process.

All that aside, I truly like this rifle and would recommend it to anyone.

Big 5 has a 795 on sale for $159.99, and I'm thinking about not buying a new 10/22 since I've been reading poor reviews about the newer models (plastic trigger housing, misaligned scope mounts)

I've been thinking that since I don't really plan to replace a lot of the parts and tacticool out my gun, the 795 would be a much better option for me? Anyone else have any input? Seems like there are a lot of 795 owners in this thread, and I've seen some good stuff.

If you aren't going to replace everything, then the 795 is a good bet. Mine has functioned flawlessly and seems to be really accurate, although I have only used the irons, no optics yet.

There is still the $20 rebate as well, mine showed up about a month after I mailed it in, bought some ammo with it!

[Caseus]

As of August 6th I will be the proud owner of a Marlin 795. My first rifle!

[Capt Jack]

Congrats! Post some pics up after your first range trip. I guarantee, you will have fun with it!

The 795 has functioned flawless for me so far. I have about 2000 rounds down the pipe. I have no complaints and I been really happy with it. I got my $20 rebate about 1.5 months after I bought the gun. I bought a cheap rimfire scope for the marlin that works well but the cheap rings that came with the scope does not hold well enough on the rail since it slowly creeps back. Shoot it more and the heavy trigger will soften up a bit

[Kokopelli]

Congratulations on the new rifle, Caseus. Now the real hunt begins; the hunt for ammo! Hehe...

Just mounted one of these on mine today. Anyone have suggestions for mounting the momentary switch? http://big5sportinggoods.shoplocal.c...ailerid=-98565

maybe on the right side of the monte carlo stock where your right palm would be? (assuming you are a right handed shooter) either that or under the stock directly below the rear sights for your off hand to activate it. i got one of these lasers too but find it not very accurate and flimsy. didnt expect more for 15 bucks though.
