Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce

[Chaos47]

Not interested in it for my self, just for information sake for others.

Personally my 795 has no iron sights at all. It's just scoped and I plan on keeping it that way. And my GF runs Williams fire sights..

Hey Chaos,

I love my tech sights. LOVE them. However while I was hitting 1" targets dead on with tech sights at 25 yards.....it would be a hell of a lot easier with a scope.

That being said, I'm new to the scope world as well. Any easy way to mount a scope on AND be able to use my tech sights? I dont want to ALWAYS use a scope.

There are see thru mounts but I would never suggest them. Ever.
1 They are going to mount your scope too high. Bad for a lot of reasons...
2 They are not going to grip the rail groove tight enough and will walk

So the best option is to buy two 795's and set them up differently

I likw the idea of two 795s, haha. Too bad tech sights aren't rail mounted

So there's no real good way to do this? Better mounts or anything?

Mounting higher isnt TOO bad in my opinion, I mean, its an elevation adjustment right? I'd do that anyway to zero it. Am I missing something crazy?

Chaos is right, there is no *good* way to mount both irons and scope. There is a dovetail to weaver adaptor, and combined with low or medium rings doesn't mount the scope too high But then you would be using the factory irons, not the Tech sights.

Trying to mount Tech sights underneath a scope forces you to use not only tall rings but also a spacer, and your accuracy off-zero will suffer.

Theoretically and in a controlled environment scope height has no bearing. You just get the bullet trajectory & scope to intersect at your zero and you're gtg. But if the scope is too high then the angles are too great, at any distance away from zero the 2 paths will noticeably diverge. And your Marlin & the scope are accurate enough that if you have a 25 yd zero and you shoot something at 28 yds, you'll see a difference.

Thank you for this, great post. I'll have to get a 2nd marlin then some time here

Or a ruger 10/22 =P

While ballistically a scope being too high isn't really an issue "Theoretically and in a controlled environment"

In the real world:
If a scope is too high when you zero it you could bottom out the adjustment or leave little adjustment for it left.

Also if a scope mounted too high will cause you to have an improper check wield to the rifle.

Ill need a 2nd 795 now then lol.

Help me with a project.

Way back in the 1st 795 thread I was working on some issues….one being that my 795 wasn’t too fond of Blazer….too many fte’s (stovepipes etc) and that the charging handle was blowing back dinging the rear of the ejection port.

This saying to me that I might be rewarded if I could slow the blowback somewhat. So now that ammo is at a premium I’m willing to diddle with slowing the blowback by what appears to be the easiest or most obvious method of weighting the bolt.

If I remember correctly somebody posted that 30-30 brass would fit the charging handle. My thinking is that if I diddled w/ weighting of the charging handle I could slow the bolt/ blowback somewhat.

The bad news is that ammo isn’t too easy to come by….and all I’m really looking for is rifle caliber brass to fit my charging handle….is anybody out there able to help me out. I’d be glad to pay for postage.


I have a gub.

I found a guy w/ some 7.62....after cutting the necking away they fit pretty snugly....this little 795 may just learn to shoot Blazer....we'll see!

Any one have any updates on the ProMag MAR-A1?

I just got mine out of jail today. It's the new stock that sucks, so I'm trying to find how to mount the UTG bipod to it. If anyone knows of a write up or YouTube video on how to do it, it would be appreciated.

Order new metal sling studs, nut and bolt style.
Drill appropriate size hole.
Attach sling studs.

Stud like this:
