Marlin 795 thread

795 vs 795ss, should I spend more dollars for the ss version?
That's the pros and cons?

Pro: the 795ss is shiny
Con: the 795ss is shiny

Really, that's what it is. Instead of blued, it's... stainless steel.

My friend's 795 which he got like 2 months ago has eaten at least two boxes of 333 by now, just sayin'.

Mine has no problem with the Winchester HP 333 ammo. My 795 is well broken in so I don't know if it makes a difference.

Jack rabbits in my area do not like the Win333.

Just installed my DIP Trigger Guard and Target Trigger Kit. LOVE IT! The adjustable trigger alone is worth the cost. All of the pre-travel/creep is GONE. Trigger break is clean and crisp, and the trigger feels very nice under the finger.

Dying to take it to the range.

I hope it's good at over half the cost of the rifle.

What are you guys running on the 795 for optics other than a traditional scope? Anyone using reflex type sights?

What about the smaller red dots, are they a little easier for aquiring targets fast than a regular scope?

I suck at target aquisition using a regular scope and since this is the one caliber that I can afford to spray rounds at will, I want something accurate but also quick to locate a target.

for the first time, i shot that Winchester 333 bulk crap through my 795 and it did not like it. I experienced my first failures with the rifle, one round failed to eject and was stuck inside the chamber and had to be pried out with a knife. then had 2 fail to feeds and caused the rounds to be destroyed. lesson learned, im sticking with Federal bulk which has never failed me.

My Marlin 60 will not shoot the Win 333 either. I believe it is the shape of the bullet as they shoot well in my other 22 bolt actions. Fed bulk is a good choice and anything Remington is not, too dirty and 2 many FTE, FTF and duds.

Already have a Marlin 795 (bought one last year) and just curious...is the rebate program still running? My sister is looking to get one.

Here's a picture I took yesterday of one of my sons with my 795. It is painted with a coat of Krylon Camo Khaki.

I'm a cheap bastard (in no rush) and will wait for the $100 (after rebate) sale...

haha......I'm waiting for the same deal too. Please remind me if such deal comes around again.
