Marlin 795 thread

[Donny1]

Bummer! But better you're getting one that's right.

My sights are dead on but I can't wait to get the Tech Sights. Just hard to spend almost as much as the rifle to get. Also now that I'm getting used to it I think I will be adding some weight, not too much but because my 60 feels almost too heavy now, lol.

I don't know if this has been mentioned in this long thread, but maglula is coming out with a loader for .22 mags and it will work on the mags for the 795.

It is supposed to be here sometime in August (at least that is what a company rep. told me a month ago. Here is a link to their site and the mag. I know I will get one as I'm tired of having my thumbs chewed when loading the mags.

But the callus on my thumb and pointer finger will be for nothing!!!

So I got my 795 from Big 5 a couple weeks ago, didn't get the chance to shoot it until a couple of days ago. I got CCI Mini Mags for it. So I'm at the range and i fire the first shot and bam then I go to shoot second shot and nothing, it's jammed. i find that the second bullet is halfway in and the third is halfway in and the bullet is all bent. This happened on all 4 of my mags and every time. This is with 10 rounds in the magazine. So I thought that maybe the spring in the mag is too tight or something. So I load each mag with three rounds and it works right but more than 3 and i get jams. I researched a little bit but didn't find much other than do a thorough cleaning. Has anyone had a similar problem, mind this is a brand new gun.

It was originally supposed to be out back in March. It was mentioned in a post on page 9 of this thread (post 358) back in '09.

That's why I hate "one-gun" threads. Things get buried and repeated. <-

Midway's website also said was supposed to have it coming in March so I set up an e-mail alert for when it was in-stock. They have since removed that part of the listing.

That sounds very rare, and I'm sure frustrating. Try cleaning and lubricating your rifle and shoot it again. Maybe try different ammo. Mini mag is good ammo...maybe too good for the 795. Mine loves the bulk packs of Federal and Winchester. Have not had a single failure of any kind yet on mostly cheep ammo (approx. 800 rds). I keep it clean and put a few drops of Remoil or Hoppes lubricant on the action.

Good Luck.

The Tech Sights are sooooo worth it. Great sights.

The pointer finger is also the picker/flicker finger; so losing that callus may stop the chafing in one's nose
I'm sure gonna buy one of those mag load tools, too!

Was reading Sundays paper this afternoon and saw Sports Authority has the marlin 795 for 124.99 less rebate drops it to 99.99 when you get your check

They also have a 25.00 gift card for purchases over 100.00, but not sure if firearms in that..Hmmm will go read the add again real quick

here is the cash card link..I see no mention of firearms or ammo...so this would make it a 74.99 gun

look to be good fron 8-8-10 to 8-14-10

Burn!!!

I broke in my 795 with CCI's after having issues with cheap ammo. Since then all ammo seems to work ok. A few failures with cheap stuff now and then, never had one with CCI's.

Can't wait to use my $25 gift card on the Marlin 795.....oh wait, you're in Oregon. My paper had a Sport Auth. ad, but my page 11 differed from yours. No Marlins, no rifles period. For $75, I would have purchased it. Oh well.

[sharkforce]

where is the cheapest place to get one of these in socal now... have all the sales ended?

Does your local store have a firearms section? It's in the sale ad online.

do you have a link to the marlin in their online store?

[Big E]

That's the problem. The ads are different depending on where you live. Doesn't apply here in SoCal.
