Marlin 795 thread

[rromeo]

I know that Vacaville Sports Authority sells guns. That's where I bought my 795. I think Carmichael (Sacramento) and Gilroy also do. Not exactly Bay Area, so may not be worthwhile.

Thanks rromeo!

[rromeo]

I guess Gilroy isn't too far.

[sanjose]

No. Defimitely pass through on the way to Monterey often.

Do they sell firearms at some sports authority stores in california? Have not seen any at the couple of stores i remember going to in the bay area.

Yes, the SA in Sacramento (Arden area) sells guns. That is where I bought my .22

Gaaah.... two more days until I pick mine up

Wasn't able to get it last weekend so I have been waiting forever!

I've been searching for a good sling for it - leaning towards a pink one ... would any of the ones I see online work? Do I have to buy those swivel things too, right?

[jonni]

the standard GI sling works well for my 795

[Beetle Bailey]

Yes, you will need to get sling swivels before you can mount a sling to your rifle. Pretty much any brand will do. I have the Uncle Mike's with the quick detach. You can get it at the gun shop, Walmart, or online.

As for a pink sling. . . I think the "Claw" sling is a nice one since it's like a GI web sling but with a padded section for your shoulder. But I dunno if it comes in pink.

So gonna go to ASR this weekend?

No Q_Q see my pm?

BUT I need to go shooting when I get back. Need to take a gf along too since she has been begging to go for her first time.

Finally joined the Rimfire fold today with the purchase of a Big 5 $129 Marlin 795 special. Our store (San Bruno) was actually out of 795's, so I guess I get to pick mine out after the 10 day prison term.

After my daughter's disastrous introduction to firearms last year, I'd thought I "reintroduce" her to shooting with a .22lr in an outdoor rather than indoor range.

I have no plans to turn this into 1,000 yard nail driver and have decided to take a more economic approach to outfitting this rifle.

1. Barksa 3-9x32 Scope
2. Caldwell / Rock Mount 9-13" Bipod
3. Numrich Laminated Wood Stock

Any feedback to my accessory choices would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to zeroing this rifle and spending a lot less than $.50 a round when I hit the range

Can't wait to shoot this bad boy!!!!

Got a 795 bore cleaning question to throw out there. I usually just bore snake it. Anyone use a rod with a Nylon brush or have any hesitations?

The manual says just use a patch with cleaner, then run one through with oil. Mine seems to need need a good cleaning but I don't want to get overzealous and ruin the great precision the "miro-grooved" barrel has given me so far.

Precision seems to have dropped off some so I am hoping a good cleaning is the remedy.

Cleaning from the front of the barrel is not recommended without a bore guide. You risk damaging the crown. I just use the boresnake or a Patch Worm from the receiver end on my Marlin 60 (same action) to be safe. Its a fact that more .22s have been worn out by cleaning than shooting. Most folks only clean when the accuracy falls off. Of course every gun can be different, especially .22s. I have a Savage that wants to be cleaned about every 500 rounds and a Zastava Z5 that doesn't seem to care either way.

I run a couple of very wet patches with Hoppe's, then some dry patches then a light coat of oil. Only use a brush when you see something in the bore that won't come clean with the solvent

Hey rromeo,

Where'd you get that stock (or what parts did you use to make it?)?

Hey rromeo,

It's a modified Marlin 60 stock. I found it at a gun show.
