yes good rifle. Upgrade with tech sights and you are golden

Been thinking of getting a .22LR; noticed they were on sale at Big 5 for $160 with a $25 rebate, plus a $10 off coupon if I do it tomorrow, so $125+fees and taxes for a new stock model. I'm thinking I'll do it. Does anyone know how much Big 5 charges in fees and such?

I got one a few months back. took it to the range and noted the rifle was shooting left about 4" at 25 yards. There was no means to adjust the sights. Further examination of the rifle showed that front sight was not centered on the rifle and was "twisted" when compared with the rear sight.

Sent a new 2 week old rifle back to Marlin at my expense for repair. 2 weeks later and $35 shipping later, the rifle returns. Sights are fine now and rifle is fine. Irritating to get a rifle that is messed up out of the box, even more frustrating when Marlin expects me to foot the bill for their obvious mistake.

I currently have 3 different Marlin 22LR rifles, and I WAS going to get the bolt action Model 981TS but after this experience I think I will pass.

All in all, I am happy with the rifle now that it is fixed.

I think you could spend a little more and get a lot more rifle. Say a 10/22 or Marlin 60.

its a great rifle, ya the factory sights are junk, I got a rail, and added a scope, just ordered the wood stock, so no more super light plastic stock, cant wait to sight her in, I have about 1000 rounds just burning holes in my safe!

Nothing... I got to pay the shipping and that is all. Bogus if you ask me.

The Marlin 60 uses the same action as the 795.

Yup. Same rifle, different mechanism to hold the rounds.

My first 22lr rifle was Marlin 795. I miss that gun. Great performance, great price.

a marlin 795 is more accurate than a 10/22 out of the box and it has a better trigger. How is that more rifle?
