Marlin 795 MEGATHREAD Part Deuce

[inbox485]

I have tech sights, and I really like them. They use the standard AR front posts, so you can select different front posts if you like. My only gripe is that the front sight doesn't use the detent plunger like on an AR, so if you try to use a fiber optic front sight post, you wont be able to keep the top part from turning under recoil. It is really simple to install tech sights. There's no drilling or anything like that.

For appleseed, you can use whatever sights you want, but unless your eyes are too bad for iron sights and you need a scope, there is a reason most people get the tech sights. You are shooting at targets that appear to be about the size of your stock front sight dot. You can do it with the stock sight, but it will be more natural with a finer tip, and the peep centers the shot picture more naturally than the two dot rear. Also part of the reason they are popular is that a 10/22 or 795 with tech sights is basically an M1 trainer rifle in .22lr.

Thanks for the Boyds coupon tip!

Oh, I think my Marlin has a canted front sight. I can't really see it on the gun, but I have to crank my tech sights almost all the way over to the left to get it zeroed at 25 yards!

Just picked up my first 795 on sale at Dick's Sporting Goods 129.99. Their catalog says there should be a 25 dollar rebate coupon on purchase as well but clerk couldn't find one. I will Hound them for it when I pick it up

[Chaos47]

The Marlin rebate is long over unless there is a new one that I have not heard about.

129.99 is still a pretty good deal in 2012..

[rbatesmotel]

The rebate notice was in the 2012 dick's catalog. I believe it may be a dick's promotion. Will find out if too good to be true next week. The countdown has begun

Are they making the kick *** trigger for the model 60 as well? I have a 60, a revelation, and a 795.

Looking for sling mounts for my VTAC sling. Should I just use plain key rings and call it a day?

ArrowDodger does make the KAT for both!

Interesting, let us know how it goes!

Thats the best price out there. I'll fall off my seat if he gets it for $129-25. There is no mention of the 795 or 60 on the web site or the weekly flyer. Was a 2012 catalog referring to old prices and promotions or is it a sale going on this moment?

[rbatesmotel]

the $129 is a sale going on this moment. The 2012 catalog was sitting on the counter and I was thumbing thru it during paperwork when I came across the mention of it under the Marlin description. Asked the clerk and he said he would get one from the front counter rebate folder but said they didnt have any more. Said he would look for one and put it with the 795 for pickup day. I guess I will see if was live or an old promo when I pick it up. Would be nice to get an extra mag or two, so crossing fingers.

Can you tell me the dates of this sale? Im out of town until 26th but am buying a 60 and 795 so sure would like to cut the price. I have a DSG not far from me.

No Dicks in SoCal sell firearms that I am aware of.
I emailed their customer support a year or two ago and asked and they said that they could not tell me which ones did and that I would have to call each store individually.

i called a few and felt stupid when i asked for the hunting department and was told "umm...we don't have one"

[CharlesV]

OIC....bizarre...I hear about DSG all the time on Calguns, they must be referring to....where? Why advertise guns on a company website if you dont sell guns but limitedly? Ok, no help here.
