Marlin 795 thread

[TheExpertish]

Chaos47 and Merc1138: You guys may have been right but you look like dicks in the process. Either reply with tact or let someone with manners correct the guy.

[roushstage2]

Not feeding the troll. Whatever dude.

[Merc1138]

What? There is more than one definition for the word should...and now we are going as far as saying people are going to assume their 795s are "defective or something" because I used the word should? The point was that the reply was an overreaction in either case.

Sorry to DinoPJR. I hope you didn't ship out your 795 because of what I posted!

The point is that your reply was wrong.

"The top on the 795 should be drilled and tapped from Marlin." This statement is false.

"The top on the 795 should be drilled and tapped from Marlin, but Marlin doesn't actually do it." This statement would have made sense.

Do you understand now? It's especially bad when you tell the guy to look for a scope mount or rail and to use the screws, when it doesn't exist for the 795(except set screws on a dovetail mounted picatinny rail).

Back to the actual topic, the UTG(as annoying as it is to recommend a UTG product be put on a firearm) is the only mount I've had any success with(I haven't tried the DIP picatinny rail).

Good Lord. Don't get your panties in a bunch. I said should, not is. Every other Marlin I've held, and the one that I own, has been drilled and tapped.

Well don't say "should" unless you mean the factory "should" have done it so there would be another option besides the dovetail.

If you tell someone it "should" have been drilled and tapped with no context, you can end up with people assuming theirs is defective or something.

[roushstage2]

Wow you could not be any more wrong....
Don't post stuff that you have no idea about!

The 795 is NOT drilled and tapped!
The 795 has a 3/8th dovetail rail built into the receiver.
If you want to convert it to Picatinny then you need something like this

If you want to stick with the built on rail then get rings like this, just make sure to get the right height and tube size rings for your scope

Yes it says airgun. Don't mind that they are considered the best rings for the 795. I personally run them and they are solid

Buy scope mounts, or a rail, and use the screws that come with it. The top on the 795 should be drilled and tapped from Marlin.

[DinoPJR]

so how do you attach the scope onto the reciever? do you have to tap into it?

[erichuff7]

Put a few hundred through the marlin the other day,still accurate as ever! Great little plinker!

[Ricky-Ray]

Got the idea from someone else. Take a Allen rifle shell carrier and cut every other thread so. Once finished you will have one spot for rifle shell and you will have 4 slots to hold the rifle mags.

that mag holder looks like my Allen shotshell buttstock carrier except mine has 5 elastic loops.

That's a rifle carrier, just snip the thread every other hole.

[roushstage2]

I think it's a bullet band, instead of a shot shell holder. Remove the stitching between every two and viola. Just saw it somewhere else.

[roushstage2]

Where did you get that mag holder on the buttstock???

+1

I'd like one for my XT-22...and the 795 that just got put in jail today!
