The Marlin Model 795 (also referred to as simply the "Marlin 795") is a semi-automatic rifle chambered in .22 Long Rifle and manufactured by Marlin (now owned by Remington since 2007). It is essentially a magazine-fed version of the famous Marlin Model 60. Other than the changes to accept a detachable magazine, the internal components of both guns are quite similar.

Note: .22's can often be finicky, especially with lower quality "bulk" ammo. Marlin 795 owners' mileage appears to vary depending on their gun. The bulk ammo that works well in others' guns, may not function well in yours. It's best to try several brands and generally stick to whatever feeds reliably.


Aftermarket Parts & Modifications

While aftermarket parts and mods for the Marlin 795 pale in comparison to something like the Ruger 10/22, there still are quite a few options available for this rifle.

Magazines

  • ProMag 25-Round Magazines, and 70-Round Drum Magazines: Both generally considered reliable. The major contender for high-cap Marlin 795 magazines.
  • Butler Creek (a.k.a. "Shooter's Ridge" 25-Round Magazine): Mixed reputation and reliability.
