Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce

[dooodstevenn]

The XT-22 is not free-floated from the factory. Does it need it? I'm not going to bother. Plenty of accurate enough, even when using bulk ammo. I might buy some match ammo one day just for the heck of it.

so i see many are marlin fans here huh?

if you do, please post the results!

at the moment im leaning towards marlin. even though its not free floated i watched nutnfancy's review of it, and he's getting nickel size groups with CCI mini mag at 50 yards, and if i really wanted, some sanding would free float my barrel like chaos said.

I can't find the picture anymore of my groups with the XT-22 and CCI bulk ammo. I may have another target somewhere...

Sounds awesome! We need photos of the stock!

I have to figure out how to post a picture first, but I will get a picture online as soon as that happens.

Picked up a 795ss earlier this year (several months ago) and I've put about 1500 rounds through it. Great rifle. I took it apart and polished the insides before I ever took it shooting. It functions flawlessly for me--my only problems have been due to bad ammo.

I like how these Boyd stocks look. How much more weight do they add to the riffle.
That's of the main things I like about the 795, how light it is. After shooting it standing all day at the indoor range I appreciated the low weight even more. Why I've kept it stock without adding a single thing.
But dam those Boyd stock sure look good.

This stock was purchased from Numrich and is for the Model 70. I posted earlier what I did to it: Dremeled a lot of material out, stripped it down, then sanded to 300 grit, applied Ebony stain, then 7 coats of Tru Oil. Here are the results of several days of work:

I went to pick up my Marlin 795 yesterday from turners, but found that the front sight is little canted. Did any one experienced this in 795s? Store is getting me a replacement.

I had the same problem. I had to send it back to Marlin for repair. Came back perfect, but it sucks for a brand new rifle to come like that.

keeping with the marlin .22's i got the xt-22 just felt better in the hands, the savage felt too thin like the 795 but the xt-22 had some nice palm swells that fit very nicely now just gotta wait my 10 days

Congrats on the XT-22! Perhaps we'll just have to have our own thread about 'em!

Congrats! It seems you don't see too many SS models out there so that's a nice change.

My Tacticool seems a little heavy (lots of wood) but it is hard to tell because the scope is heavy.
My GF's target hunter is not too heavy its really well balanced.

I would defiantly say they are worth it. Looks alone it changes the rifle so much but the added rigidity makes them more accurate imo

Looks great! Good job!

I have heard that a few early MM generation Remington made had this problem. That they had over tightened the barrel and thus canting the sight. I have a MM with a serial number around 4000 so that is pretty low and its prefect so it wasn't all of them..
That is good that they are just going to get you a different one at the store level.

Nice! Congrats! Which model did you end up with? Wood or Plastic, Mag or tube?

Not a bad idea!
There are wood stocks for them (but I hear you need to order a 925 trigger guard)
It would be good to start a thread about that and other suggested parts like scope bases, rings, and maybe mods?

I hope to join the XT-22 Club before Christmas..
Funny thing is I am seriously thinking about putting it in a tacticool stock too.

is XT-22 better than 795?
