Marlin 795

[mrozowjj]

Numrich as an OEM wood stock for the 795, boring, but I guess I will go with that one then ...

Yeah I would definitely prefer the grey laminate. I am thinking of sanding the wood one and use some ebony or dark english stain. just peed that nobody has a thumbhole stock for it. I see on rimfire what guys are doing with 60 stocks and it looks fantastic. But I do not have the milling tools and don't what to scratch and scrape a hole with a Dremel on a newly purchsed stock.

I know, I was only posting it again in case anyone else was looking...

Damn, mags from cdnn were right on and they sent me a swissarmylike utility knife, winchester shooting glasses, and a mag pouch free with my purchase of 3 mags...neat

anyone have the size of the front sight screw? I waited on hold for 30 min before hanging up on hold both thurs and fri.

I've put around 600 rounds down range with my Marlin 795 over the past two weekends, and while I was impressed with its accuracy, I just have one thing to say.

I just cannot get over how kid-sized this rifle is. It's just not ergonomic for a full-grown adult. I went straight from the Marlin 795 to my M1 Garand yesterday and my reaction was pretty much along the lines of "Oh glory hallelujah". The M1 Garand just works. The Marlin, I have to bend over a lot and really wiggle it around to get it into a position that's comfortable to shoot with off a bench.

Is there a full size conversion stock for the Marlin? I know it might look a little silly with the same carbine-length barrel and a huge full size stock, but anything to help it out.

I should point out that the smaller size of the Marlin isn't as much of a handicap when doing positions (e.g. Appleseed), but when trying to fire from the bench it can be torturous.

Check out Boyds and get on their mailing list. They make runs of some very nice laminate stocks from time to time.

 

[Schwabe]

I got an e-mail replay from Boyd's that they are not making any stocks for 795s. On Rimfire Central are a few guys who bought stocks for 60s and modified them for the 795.
I entered myself on their list for stocks you would buy. The more people do that the better the chance they make a run of stocks for the 795.

Thanks ordered another 5 mags.

I know the 60 series stocks can be made to fit the 795, but what about the Marlin M 70 stocks? Will they fit okay with some cutting for the trigger group?

that sounds like a great deal

Idempotent, have you tried a slip on recoil pad to extend the length of pull on that 795? It may work until you find a stock which works for you.

Do you have a link? I just tried to search on Bud's for them, and can't find them. Thanks

 

[Schwabe]

sorry, looks like they are already gone.

ARRRRRRRRRRRGH! I just needed 4 more.

I shot SnapshotMD's 795 today. Man thats a little lightweight rifle. The barrel is 4 inches shorter than my 60. The iron sights are not much good so he's going to get a cheap scope for it. Should be a real fun shooter then, I know my 60 is.

 

[snapshotmd]

That 795 was so light I thought my gun case was empty. With iron sights, I was punching a decent group at 50 yds, or at least what would be expected with iron sights. Elevation seemed good, but shot to the right. A scope would be a lot more fun.

 

[mrozowjj]

If you find a scope let me know. I'm thinking about a good cheap scope too but I don't know a lot about scopes.
