Marlin 795 thread

[lickitysplit]

Darn, I just picked up my 795 and didn't realize the front sight is slightly canted, left of center. I haven't shot it yet, so I'm not sure if accuracy is affected. it won't really matter because the sight is coming off once the scope is put on. It would be nice to have usable irons. Anybody else have this issue?

Yeah, the rear end of my rear sight was clocked over to the right about 3/16" of an inch. Straightened her out pretty well but I know I'm gonna have to bring some extra tools to the range the first time I shoot her......

FYI Turners has them in their spring flyer for $134.88 before rebate ($109.88 after!).

Anyone having trouble with stiff magazines?

Im debating on whether to buy another 60 or try out a 795. Loading the mags is one of my concerns since Ive been reading many threads about them being tough to load.

Yes, the mags are stiff to load, and the flanges on top tear up my thumb a bit. A "BabyUpula" speed load has been very helpful. Now my 9 year old daughter can load her own mags.

Spend that 25 bucks on a bulk pack of federal/winchester 555 or a bipod

EDIT: 1st post in 4 years? I take it now the lurking is over with the new purchase

That Turner's deal for ~$110 after the $25 rebate is enough for me. That will be a great gun for my son to start with when the time's right.

Yup, that's the thing with this particular .22, it may not be the best rimfire out there (I'm looking at you Ruger fanboys! ) but its probably the best $100ish bucks you are going to spend on your whole gun hobby. Plenty of new shooters have shot mine and enjoyed it enough to pique their interest in shooting and that alone has been worth it to me! (plus, those soda cans don't stand a chance as this thing is pretty damn accurate out of the box!)

Go to Wally world and stock up on their $1.47 boxes of federal as mine loves that stuff! 500 rounds for $15 can't be beat! Have fun and enjoy your new .22.

What kind of iron sights are those?

Williams Fire Sights.

Bought mine from Sports Authority some time ago for $75 after rebates. XD

I finally shot this gun, but I am so embarrassed at how bad I was! All the 25 yard rifle range spots were taken, so I had no choice but to shoot at 50 yards. I never sighted a scope before and didn't think it would be so bad out of the box. After 15 minutes it was time to retrieve the target and to my surprise, I hit nothing! Talked with a guy at the range and he said it was the scope lol. Will fix it tomorrow

Then I decided I'd shoot a pistol and let my cousin shoot my rifle. He shot it without the scope and was all lower right.


I really want to get a spotting scope, but I read that I need to spend at least $200 to get a good one! :-O

This is what I do if I do not have a 25 yd target, I shoot the berm at 100 yds and I can see where my bullets go and adjust accordingly.

[caoboy]

Spend the time on a closer range, if you can get closer than 25 yards it'd be even easier. You can get it set up pretty quickly, hopefully your scope doesn't walk.

[Big Shrek]

Oh yeah, it seemed strange someone with senior member under his handle wouldnt know the difference between .22lr and. 22wmr Do you know if they make semi auto .22wmr rifles or only bolt action?

Marlin USED to make the 922 (.22WMR)...hopefully they'll bring it back one day
It was one of the few .22WMR semi-auto rifles that WORKED!!

So I haven't really seen anyone review the Diversified Innovative Products triggers.
People have said good things about their trigger guards (although they are expensive) and the scope bases.

Are they as good as they seem? Is it worth it to get the package 3/8" wide trigger and guard?

Or will the drop in trigger be almost just as good?

I'd hate to later brake the plastic guard and wish I had bought the bigger trigger and guard at the same time.

How are the charging handles? How much fitting do they require?

They look a lot cooler then the factory one which I find hideous...

Thanks!

Great advice on getting a scoped rifle on paper for the first time. This is exactly what I do and save a bunch of rounds in the process. I do it at the 50 yd berm. Never fails to get me zeroed in no time at all.
