Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce

[tcd511]

I have a marlin 700 which is basically a model 70. Been looking for another stock like a Boyd's. anyone know if a Boyd's 795 stock would fit?

The boyd's stock is way worth it! I have the rimfire hunter in pepper, just checked his site and damn the price went down!

What are the advantages of the Boyd's stock? Just got my Turner's bargain 795 and I'm trying to figure out what to do with it.

High quality laminate stock for bargain prices.
Beutiful.
Add's slight length and heft. Makes it feel better all around.
More rigid so the forend will not flex causing inconsistent pressure on the barrel like the plastic stock could.
Metal sling studs (2 in the front in some models)

Pretty much what Chaos said. I noticed more about the balance. When I put this stock on it changed the 795. It didn't feel like it was nose diving. It also looks better lol Mine came with the 2 front sling stud positions. I'm eying the October appleseed at Raahauge's but its killing me that I can not find reasonable priced .22lr.

Thanks guys. I'm not crazy about the basic color schemes but I see they offer walnut for a bit more money. Might get that as it would make a nice match for my M1 Garand and M1 Carbines.

That's sweet. You wont regret it

I got to take my new 795 out last Friday and it was flawless for the first 200 rounds. The last 2 magazines had one misfire and a stovepipe after every 2 or 3 rounds.

I cleaned it before shooting by spraying the action with clp and wiping it dry. I did the same after I was done shooting to see if it was just really dirty. It looked almost as clean as before shooting it. The ammo I was shooting was Federal Champion bulk.

Did I just get unlucky with those last 20 rounds I fired?

Just bought my first firearm.

A Marlin 795. I have 3 days left in the waiting process. I learned a lot in the past two weeks. I didn't even know the difference between a rimfire vs centerfire rifle.

Google helped a lot with all the learning. I looked at the Ruger 10/22 and the Savage GXP.

For some reason the Marlin appealed the best to me. I guess it was the price and the reviews I saw on YouTube.

Once I bought my rifle, I get hit with this 22LR ammo crisis. I am here in the bay area and zero stores have it.

I managed to get a hold of 1050 rounds for $90. Federal Bulk.

I don't know much about guns so I hope I can learn a lot from this rifle and forum overall.

Future plans are - sling, sight upgrade or scope, and the DIP trigger set up.

Welcome to the family. Focus on learning safety first.

Ammo prices still lousy. Im looking at a box of 500 CCI, marked $18.95 and it was not that long ago!

That makes me cringe. I paid %100 mark up. Ouch

My 795 is my favorite plinking rifle, especially after upgrading with a Boyds thumbhole stock, DIPS trigger, Mcarbo springs and a Simmons scope (just because my eyes are old).

It's very accurate and, unlike my centerfire rifles, I can shoot it all day without worrying about how much money I just spent on ammo.

I'll be attending the Appleseed in November thanks to acegirlshusband for helping me out with ammo. As I'm getting ready for Appleseed I'm realizing my eyes are pretty darn bad I don't have to much issue with hand guns but rifle irons (marlin 795) my eye struggles to focus on the front sight well if I get a scope before the Appleseed it will be easier on my eyes.

The dip trigger is working awesome! For those who just bought it here's a tip. Place blue lock tight on the alen screw that is on the trigger guard, before I did that the screw kept tightening up and would cause the trigger to not be allowed to be pulled.

Does anyone have experience with dips pica rail for the 795? I would like to use theirs as it's the lowest dove tail to pica adapter that I had seen.

What power scope do you use to see well at 100 yards?
I tried a 8x and 9x and it was hard to see where I was hitting on the paper.

[osis32]

Have you tried using shoot n c targets. Regular paper is really tough

[Panchira!]

I was thinking the nikon prostaff efr target rimfire 3-9 x 40. Should be good enough maybe. I usually use my shoot n see targets for .22 or target spots.
