Marlin 795 thread

[The Right to Bear Arms]

Just fyi those are hyper-velocity. You are not supposed to shoot hyper-velocity out of a 795. Make sure to check your buffer for cracks and bites taken out of it if you do...

Good luck and have fun!

Hi Chaos 47,

Happy Dad's Day in advance.

Where did you get that tidbit of information? I'd like to know. It's a great shooter and there were no problems. The Marlin is so well designed that it makes shooters look better than they really are even using the factory sights.

These then are my findings.

Location : Insight Range

Marlin 795

100 rds of 22LR CCI Stinger ( 32 grain, copper plated Hollow Point ): Clean feed, clean shooting, 0 FTF, 0 FTE.

100 rds of Blazer ( 40 grain ): Powdery, dirty, but decent groups, 0 FTF, 0 FTE.

100 rds of Walmart Bulk Winchester ( 36 grain copper plated Hollow Point ): Clean, decent groups, ( I attribute to the Marlin, not myself or the ammo. 3 FTF, 3 FTE. Yeap, it jammed 3 times boys. I just cleared the jam each time and continued to shoot. picked up the rounds that didn't chamber and shot again with no problems.

It was a perfect exhibition. I just want to clarify Chaos47's point and appreciate everyone's time.

What do you think Calgunner's? Has anyone had a problem shooting the CCI Stinger's out of the 795? Man, I love this Gun !

ps. From pg 4 of the Marlin 795 Owner's Manual: The following types of ammunition have the most consistent results in Marlin's 22 Rifles.

1. CCI Mini Mag
2. CCI Mini Mag Hollow Point
3. Federal Classic High Velocity
4. Remington High Velocity ( Not Thunderbolt )
5. Winchester Super X High Velocity

At this point, I find the situation inconclusive wherein the use of CCI Stingers is concerned. I will call Marlin Customer Service on Monday and get clarification but please share your thoughts everyone.

Straight from the manual right above where you found the consistent ammo part on page 4

Rifles chambered for 22 L.R. ammunition:

I didn't say it won't fire hyper velocity I said your not supposed to.
The rifle was not designed for it and it will put extra stress on it.
Thats why I said you need to check the condition of your buffer after you do it.

Got it, bro.

I must pay more attention to detail.

Thanks,

RBA

No problem,
Sounds like you had a good day at the range!

You got it, brother. The Marlin 795 makes good shooters better.

Has anyone purchased multiple magazines for the 795? Are there any price breaks or discounts ?

Happy Father's Day to All,

Happy Father's Day to All,

I purchased 4 from Midway USA and there were no "Buy 1-3 and pay $XX.XX/Buy 4+ and pay $XX.XX." I haven't seen any sites that offer that for those mags, much less magazines in general.

Get the mags at big 5 using the e-team coupons.

Mine hasn't had any for some time, and every where I look online, they are out of stock.

^^THIS^^. Always out of stock online and I bought the last one from the Napa store and the manager said they probably weren't going to restock them; haven't seen them any of the times since then when I've gone in and asked. MidwayUSA seems to be the only place to have them consistently/on a regualr schedule, but you pay arm and a leg.

One of the online stores says to expect July availability.

I've always got mine from CDNN when they happen to have weekend shipping deals. Don't think they have had any for a while.

I and a couple other people received out of spec magazines and then shortly after the magazine shortage started. Call it a coincident but I think Marlin found they had an issue and had to fix it...
