Marlin 795 thread

Marlin has mags in stock for $17 but shipping is $8. Now if you buy more than one mag I think the shipping is still $8. Mark

Link? When I go to the Marlin website it looks like their store only sells clothing and such...no guns or parts that I'm seeing.

You have to call them. I got a trigger guard and a mag from them last week. Mark

I've got 6 7rnd mags left if anyone wants them. They're used but in great shape. I'll take $12 each shipping included. Take them all for $60 and shipping included. Send me a PM if interested. All my spare 10rnd mags have been sold.

I don't know if anyone else has covered this, but here goes...

The 795 seems to be an upgraded model 70. The model 70 didn't have a synthetic stock or the feature that holds the bolt open on the last round. The 70 and 795 use the same mags.

I bought my 70 years ago from B5 and payed about $120 for it. It's been a great shooter, and still is. Back then, there were hi-cap 25rnd mags available for it. I bought all that I could and am glad I did. I've added a scope and a bipod lug. I've noticed that over the years, my trigger has almost become a 2 stage. I've figured out where the slack is, then after that is where the hammer drops. The distance isn't much and takes a little bit to find it. This is the best varmit gun I have.

It seems that some are having difficulty finding mags for their 795s. I've got about a half dozen each of the 7rnd and 10rnd mags I could part with.

Yea thats what I have. A Model 70 HC.
The stock 25 rd magazine has long since broke.
When I mount a Bushnell scope on it i can shoot pennies at 50 yards all day long.
My some shoot the little plastic soldiers.
I'm lookin for another wooden stock that I can chop a few inches off it so my 10 year old daughter can shoulder it. She loves shooting the Marlin.

Fits perfectly in my older 1960s Glenfield model 70.

ok. 10 day started. will mail in rebate tomorrow. now i gotta actually read in detail the bookmarked info on rings. went to wally world yesterday; thought i'd see the leupold scope. but no biggie. i think i know which one i want now.

[Capt Jack]

Finally going to the range to try the new rifle on Sat. I was wondering what people are using to clean their bores? I bought a rod at Wally world but it fit really tightly even though it was advertised as being for a .22 bore.

I ended up buying a bore snake, just wet it with CLP and ran it a few times through the barrel. Being a .22, do you all think I can get away with just using the bore snake or should I try and find a dedicated rod?

[high_revs]

i used the wally world on my gsg. but i actually have deweys also. i used the same brush i had from wally on the non-coated dewey. yeah, a little tight. but it gets in there.

lots of debate on boresnake vs. rod. honestly, i prefer the rod. on my ak, i have no choice but to use the boresnake kit it comes with since i cannot easily put a rod from the back w/o bending it slightly. not a good feeling, even if it's a AK to use a boresnake.

i've met some who use boresnake on their GSGs also, which is a pita to strip sometimes (and where I can see the value). but ymmv. do what you feel is right. just for me, i don't get a good feeling, it's anal-retentive clean, using a boresnake. but no, i don't clean my guns after each outing also. just want to do a thorough job if/when i clean.

i'm picking mine up sunday capt! now if badger will just reply back to my email which rings are compatible with 795. i think the rings will almsot be the cost of my rifle too. LOL

[jkchan83]

I am a big fan of boresnakes. When it comes to the bore, I have compared the performance of a boresnake versus a rod and I can't see a difference. (This was on an AR-15, so very similar diameter to a .22.) Having said that, I still like to use brushes and wipes to get the receiver clean.

So there I am all excited about going to the range this weekend and we get wind and rain from out of nowhere....

Supposed to clear up a bit tomorrow so I might still be able to go but dang! I've had this rifle for 2 weeks now and still haven't been able to try it out....

Best time to go to the range. Keeps the crowds away!

just got the 795 for my girlfriend to shoot/keep. paid $149 - $20 rebate

so $130 plus tax/dros (~$165 otd). I am giving her my little 3-9 bushnell off my latest project and ordered myself a new 4-14.5 APV. she's pretty excited about it because it will be something for her to own instead of just using my guns. she also wants a bipod...... should be fun.


thanks for the heads up guys. I pick it up on the 9th
