As someone else suggested, when you have the cash and a free weekend, I would strongly suggest that you consider attending an Appleseed Project Marksmanship clinic in your area. I attended one last month. It will be well worth your time and money. Although I did not earn the coveted Rifleman patch this time, I came away with some excellent instruction and improving marksmanship skills (breathing, positioning, and trigger control).
check out Native outdoors.com they have I beleive a 25 round mag for this firearm marlin 795 if you buy two of them they attach together.let me know what you think
@DEMCAD PREPPER ALERT! last minute shopping. Lows has a waterproof/ firesafe on sale for $39.97. 0.2 cu. ft. This is a GREAT safe for ammo or even ammo and pistol.they have a bigger model but it is only firesafe. If water is never a problem in your preps, it's a good buy at 19.98. Stack well, hold lilts of ammo safe and protected from temp extremes. Schweet
I like the marlin, my little brother has one. I just got a 22 as well. A Beretta Neos pistol. It looks weird but I have found it to be very accurate as well. Looking to stock up on some CCI Minimags for it and maybe try to find the rabbits that keep eating my potatoes. Good Video.
nuthin better than a .22 for cheap plinkin. Marlin is a fine rifle. I like the 10/22 Ruger. I'd be wary of any extended mags for 22s, I've seen too many that are unreliable.Maybe they've improved?
Just want to make this clear you do not brake the contact between your trigger finger and the trigger it self while you are shooting. This along with a good sight picture and proper breathing will help your accuracy immensely.
The one thing that I noticed right away is your lack of trigger control . On the first shot squeeze the trigger to take up the slack then then fire. After the firearm discharges slowly release the trigger till you hear a click (you should also be able to feel it if it is to noisy at the range to hear it ) The click you hear is the trigger resetting and is the point at witch you should stop releasing it. Now that the trigger is reset you are ready to fire the next round.
@DEMCAD I know you said you like the larger cal. guns, who doesn't. I think your .22 will be a lot more fun for you to go plinking with it rather than target shooting. Systematically shoot the suit off of playing cards for example. Line them up and shoot out all the diamonds. Makes it challenging, sharpens your skills and it's cheap.
you are very lucky Demcad, most of us had instructors. well that says enough about that; now is an excelent opportunity to take advantage of your shooting documentation and critique it using flash cards you can make from reviewing this comments section. there are some truely tallented people here giving you some really good advice. keep it up, cause i pitty tha fool!!!
the marlin is a great rifle...a cheap way to get trigger time...any trigger time is good trigger time , the .22 is an indespensible "tool" to have in your arsenal...good for small game, inexpensive practice and even defense in a pinch...congrats !
Demcad, When sighting in your rifle, maybe make an improvised gun rest. You can stack a couple 2x4's and then on the top, put 2 smaller 2x4 with about a 3in gap to rest your rifle. I have owned it for years and recently really sighted it in but my .22 will hit a business card at 75-100 yds nearly every shot.
Practice shooting with snap caps with a dime balanced on the end of the barrel behind the muzzle brake. Repeat until you can reliably squeeze off the round w/o the dime falling off (in a prone supported position). This will help develop good brething and trigger control technique. A tried and true Army trick. I prefer to keep both eyes open with rifle or handgun. Less fatigue on the closed eye, and it's easier for me to take in "the big picture". Just my 25 cents (inflation-adjusted opinion..)
4 fundamentals of shooting a weapon...steady body position,good site on the target,steady breathing and trigger sqeeze....you showed none of that in the video.That's why your target groupings were all off.
try this ....half way through exhale stop..squeeze trigger..no blinking..when weapon fires finish exhale..reaquire target ..inhale ..halfway through exhale stop squeeeeze ..no blink..finish exhale,rinse,repeat..keep up good work regg
I know you like bigger calibers, but the 22 is where you should practice for 3 reasons. 1 cheaper. 2 less recoil and easier to practice a lot of shots,and 3. because they are lightweight, they are unforgiving if your form is off. Get great with a 22, and you can shoot anything well. I've never met anyone who could honestly call him/herself a rifleman that had not MASTERED the 22. well that's my 22 cents.
Not to nit pick, but you have some for issues that are clear in the video. looks like your slapping the trigger and pulling your shots. After the shot hold the trigger back and then slowly allow your finger to move forward until you feel the click of the reset. Also, you have a sling on your AKlone, Get one for your 22 and learn to use it to support your shooting position.
Good review. I've got one I built for an RWVA Appleseed shoot. I bought 4 additional mags and added a set of tech sights(iron military style peep sights) a military adjustable GI sling and textured the stock w/ epoxy and painted it OD green.Sweet little gun, Thanks to Appleseed, I now prefer the iron sights to any of the scoped 22's I have. If you haven't been to an Appleseed shoot, you must go. For $70 it is by far the best training value I've ever had. They will help to fix your Squints.
Wow, you're definitely slapping the trigger on both. Also, you might want to see if you can get Aguila Sniper Sub Sonics to cycle. They're heavier and slower rounds, but they're also very quiet.
Ask SafeArmsReview about trigger control. I saw him on BlogTV talk about trigger control. Your getting a good group, Demcad.> It's a new rifle & scope might need a small adjustment ?
I built a pretty bad ass Ruger 10/22 for cheap, shoots 10 rounds in a group the size of a nickel @ 50yards with good ammo. I bet they have some nice custom barrel and stocks for that gun. That .22 will make you a great shooter becuase the ammo is cheap...get one that groups well and the are fun as hell, make you confident.
Maybe it's just me but it looks like you're not shouldering that rifle correctly. It looks like you've got the buttstock on your upper chest or something. Way too low.
I like the look of that gun, and I've always liked Marlins. My friend has a Marlin 30/30 that's one of the most solid firearms I've ever held. When I'm i nthe market for a .22, I'll give that model a look. Thanks for the vid.
it takes the same mussle control to fire a 22 as it does to shoot a 458 win mag and its a lot cheaper to shoot and dont knock the 22 for power its alot better then some people give it credit for and id say that you need to site in that scope on the 22 its shooting way to low and to the left a 22 is a great way to get rid of a shooters flinch to cause they dont recoil much 1 more trick pick up a box of cci bullets and reuse the plastic case they hold 100 rounds and easy to carry in your pockets
@DEMCAD Both the marlin and you can do better than that. BRASS Breath Relax Aim Slack Squeeze. I noticed that you were jerking the trigger. Loose the scope for now and practice practice practice. That 22 can be one of the best training aids for rifle shooting. If you have a chance and the bread you might want to look at going to an appleseed shooting clinic. Just Google appleseed Project.
Definately work on the blinking. There's nothing to be scared of. Always have your eye on the target and on the sights as well. It takes practice to train yourself not to blink, I used to do it too.
RK, although i have never shot the Marlin, I think you made a great purchase. It's pretty simple when it comes to which firearm should you own. MORE THE BETTER!!! I am not a big fan of .22lr but in any case the next time ur at the range try to slow down between your shots, this will ensure the "make every shot count" rule. Also you might want to look at your trigger pull as well. Try to keep(rest) your finger on the trigger when it cycles(resets). This will ensure a better result.
Get subsonic 22 for low noise. Round will not be strong enough to push the bolt back to reload another round from the mag. However you can chamber the next round manually. 22 subsonic round is powerful enough to kill small game at substantially less noise.
Marlins, like all 22s get dirty quick and need to be cleaned well every few hundred rounds. Check NRA for their gun oil recipe. I use it in my Marlin 60 and it never fails. WD-40 is a huge mistake in auto-loaders and should be avoided.
"THEY" Took your vids off my sub page. i had to go to your page to get your new vids For 2 days now. It's not just your vid's Lot's ofVid's are not makeing it to my page. Is this the way Y/T ends?
Always when I watch a video of yours, Demcad, the "Best Russian Ladies"-ad comes up... really nice women... Something in your vids apparently triggers these ads. :-)
ATTENTION!!!! ONLY BUY 10 ROUND MARLIN CLIPS FOR THIS RIFLE....I TRIED ALL SORTS OF HIGH CAPACITY MAGS....JUNK..ALL OF THEM...SO I BOUGHT A BUNCH OF 10 ROUNDERS
lose the scope and i would stay with the 10round mags because those plastic 25 round mags are junk i tried 2 of them and they both went into the trash nothing but jam city.
Wow. Mechanics, mechanics, mechanics. If you want to learn a few tricks of the trade to improve your shooting mechanics let me know. I am usually in the Flint area a few times a month.
Great video Reg! Congrats on the 795, I really love mine. Now if I could only take the time to really zero the scope in on it lol.
After watching this video and reading some of the reviews, I have to agree that you need to work on your trigger. Biggest thing you are doing is slapping the trigger back then jerking your finger forward till its off the trigger.
@OutONoWhere Try NEVER taking your finger off the trigger. Slowly squeeze the trigger back, hold it for a moment after the shot then gently release the trigger till you feel it reset or "click". Then take another shot, rinse and repeat.
Also, you should get you a UTG synthetic folding bipod. It can be had for less than 10 bucks, works with any rifle and really helps when you are going for "long range" accuracy.You can see me using it in my Range Time 08 2011 video at the beginning.
Nice video Reggie. This is a Fine gun for the price. I have one and love it. If you get GOOD with this, you can surly hunt and take down Any small game. Everyone seems to also think that you need a Shot gun for bird hunting. Not So. Although I would not shoot at Flying birds with this, I have come across Pheasant and others on the ground and eaten Very good meals WITHOUT picking Buckshot out of it or Cracking a Tooth on it. Smart buy.
@hotheadedjoelhaha I accidentally killed a hawk once with my 22 Marlin as it was under a tree on a cliff's edge and thought it was quail. And a woodpecker at about a 140 yards through the neck on purpose. This was a Marlin 60 though and many years ago. One of the few guns I kept!
Good choices with the Marlin and the Blazer ammo. The blazers seem to be the best value I have found so far. Same specs as the mini-mags just no copper plating so they run great in semi autos. The .22's are not just good for shtf but great practice too. I own 2 savage 64's and along with my bulgarian AK they keep the cost of my range trips down.
wats good about this rifle is as it wears it becomes a full auto!! also you can file the trigger mechanism a bit! an you can get a 30 round clip for it too!
my dad swears my grandapa killed all his deer (hundreds) using nothing but a ,22! this was back in the day in the 20's to the 40's. grain of salt of course
@passtheconstitution My dad told me the same thing! Where I live, they outlawed using any rimfire for deer many years ago. My dad said that most people were in an uproar about it because .22's were their main deer rifle! I myself have seen several deer killed with rimfire rifles.
A 22LR is perhaps the most important gun you might have in a WROL situation. Like you said, there are not that many deer available but small game is everywhere. A 7.62 round would vaporize a rabbit or squirrel but a 22LR would bring home the bacon nicely. And a 22LR allows you to stock up on sufficient ammo to feed yourself for awhile cheaply.
1 more time Reg drops the ball. Should have got a Ruger10/22. Good luck finding reliable high capacity mags for that thing. Like clockwork the 1st time you went to pull the trigger nothing happens because you had the safety on or didn't have it chambered. What, no dumbass chuckle & grin? Like I said, I hope your incompetance with firearms doesn't cost you your life. You shouldn't be buying new guns when you don't know how to work the 1's you have. Sell them. Learn to use a sling, spear & atlatl.
The .22 may actually be the BEST survival rifle of all...Accuracy, ease of transporting ammo and rifle, economy of stocking up on cartridges....Suggest use of electronic headphones in addition to foam ear plugs for extended practice sessions. Electronic headphones are great for home defense as you can hear BETTER, be able to pinpoint sounds, and protect your hearing!
I see you jerking the trigger on both guns. Your accuracy might improve if you learn to squeeze, hold, reset. Try it. You'll like it.
I too like larger calibers. .30 being my favorite rifle, and .45 in a pistol, but if your intended purpose is to take small game for food, you might want some meat left on the bones. The .22 is ideal for that purpose.
I'm not familiar with modern Marlins, but my old model 60 is very reliable. Marlin Rocks.
Give sub sonic CCI ammo a try for hunting. It will be quieter and more accurate because you eliminate the super sonic crack and turbulence that standard bulk ammo has. Nice rifle. Can't go wrong with a Marlin. If you are looking for more mags, cheaperthan dirt and midwayusa are usually priced well.
From your target the 22 is shooting ok, you need to get the scope sighted in correctly. If the bullets were all over the place it would just be you not the gun lol.
the 22 is good practice for the "big calibers" and alot cheaper to practice getting out of that trigger jerk you seem to have Dem :P....just ragging alittle ...keep on practicing--- MoJo
You look like B.A. Baracus with that AK. I remember the old days when you were a delicate little flower around guns, but now you are definitely born again hard. Like the 22. Way more fun rattlin' pop cans than punchin' paper. BTW, looking forward to your recipe for rabbit stew.
i wonder if the NRA could come up with a buld wholessale ammo program so we could practice more. cut out the middle man. high ammo prices are the new GUN CONTROLS. politicians (NATZIS) are always coming up with new restrictions on the constitution.
Nice pick up the 795 should have a mail in rebate too if you bought new. Avoid the High cap mags they are hit or miss on the 795. Go for the name brand replacements. A 22rifle will help make you a better shooter with trigger time and breath control, Ammo super cheap too. Nice Video.
DEMCAD look i love your videos and you help me and my family with our prepping.... but... you need to work on your aim .. it is a 22 how can you miss the bulls eye ? LOL keep it up one day you might kill a rabbit and not just scare the hell out of him...LMAO
Nice little 22 you got there, RK,,,but if you want the most tactical options and the best after market mags and other gear,,then a RUGER 10/22 is the rifle to buy,,IMHO
@revlis I bought that 22 for 250.00 with a scope and three box of Cci blazer 500 rounds and it a blast but I believe mp- 15-22 is away better 22 lr plus it got a 25 round magazine anything you can put on an at-15 will fit on the mp-15-22
This is was my first gun :) I've given it to family after teaching them how to operate and clean it, they are well into adulthood and I trust them to keep up with it - With a little prodding from time to time. Have fun with it!
Cool 22 Demcad... I just bought a 22 long Henry survival rifle AR-7...the whole rifle breaks down and fits inside the stock along with 3 magizines PLUS in floats in water...very cool gun.
Try letting off of the trigger only enough to let it reset after each shot. This will eliminate the long trigger pull and give you more control. Try pressing the trigger instead of tapping it. You are building a nice little arsenal. Congrats!
BTW thanks! I did not know Marlin had a clip feed 22. Was looking at the Ruger but my Marlin Glenfield 60 has done great and is about 38 years since I got it and will look into the Marlin 795. BORING gun on the rifle range, more fun is a cap and ball Navy Colt.
damn!!!-- spray paint that scope!! that's the brightest thing i've ever seen!! hahahahaha...the rabbits will see you a mile away from the sun reflecting off that scope....
.30 cent to shoot a clip of 22lr now it probly pretty close to .30 a bullet for you ak just saying a 22 give you more practice time what about 20.00 bucks for them Cci blazers
Bought the Marlin .22 tube loader 3 months ago. Holds 14 rounds and is a great gun. A .22 in the hands of a crack shot is more dangerous than an AK in the hands of an in experienced shooter. I own a 357, 12G, 20G, .17HMR, AK47, .22LR. I love my .22 and its so cheap to shoot. For less than $250 you can buy a brand new Marlin and 1,000 rounds.
I think you would like shooting the .22 better if you mounted the scope in some taller rings. "not being mean, but you got a big head and the taller rings would put you in a more natural shooting position" You looked cramped trying to see through the scope.
Actually you rest the gun, take one shot at dead center, see where the shot hit. go back rest it and aim dead center, hold the gun steady and adjust the cross hairs over where it hit. Best aim is dead on at 25 yards or so then it will travel up about an inch high at 60 yards and by 100 yards will be about an inch or two low. With that you can hit a dime at 100 yards about every time. You also are flinching as you are squeeze the trigger. breath in O2 let a little out relax and be dead on!
You are not squeezing the trigger, I can see you flinch each time you fire. On another note, more people and animals have been killed by .22 cal bullets than any other ammo. your AK is a 7.76 or .22 cal round it just has more powder.
Slide the spring loaded catcher down until the range scale 1 (100-meter) mark is aligned with the spring loaded catcher.
Carefully aim and fire each shot of a 3-shot group at a paper target set up at 25 meters. If your shots are not striking the point-of-aim, then adjust your sights.
how many yards was that? A few clicks to the right and up your scope should be dead on......group was not bad. Just read the manual if its a 1/4 moa click adjustment or whatever. Marlins are fine guns.
Please pray that new Conservative majority Governemnt in Canada will be successful in repealing the Long Rifle Registy legislation passed by the previous Liberal Government.
Don't ever discount the value of that rifle! I own a "papoose" which it the break-down version of that. Plus a .22 suppressor plus sub-sonic ammo = one of the worlds best survival rifles!!
What's the recoil like on this? Looks like there's barely any there.

Marlins, like all 22s get dirty quick and need to be cleaned well every few hundred rounds. Check NRA for their gun oil recipe. I use it in my Marlin 60 and it never fails. WD-40 is a huge mistake in auto-loaders and should be avoided.

Great video Reg! Congrats on the 795, I really love mine. Now if I could only take the time to really zero the scope in on it lol.
After watching this video and reading some of the reviews, I have to agree that you need to work on your trigger. Biggest thing you are doing is slapping the trigger back then jerking your finger forward till its off the trigger.
OutONoWhere 2 months ago
@OutONoWhere Try NEVER taking your finger off the trigger. Slowly squeeze the trigger back, hold it for a moment after the shot then gently release the trigger till you feel it reset or "click". Then take another shot, rinse and repeat.
Also, you should get you a UTG synthetic folding bipod. It can be had for less than 10 bucks, works with any rifle and really helps when you are going for "long range" accuracy.You can see me using it in my Range Time 08 2011 video at the beginning.
OutONoWhere 2 months ago
Nice video Reggie. This is a Fine gun for the price. I have one and love it. If you get GOOD with this, you can surly hunt and take down Any small game. Everyone seems to also think that you need a Shot gun for bird hunting. Not So. Although I would not shoot at Flying birds with this, I have come across Pheasant and others on the ground and eaten Very good meals WITHOUT picking Buckshot out of it or Cracking a Tooth on it. Smart buy.

@hotheadedjoelhaha I accidentally killed a hawk once with my 22 Marlin as it was under a tree on a cliff's edge and thought it was quail. And a woodpecker at about a 140 yards through the neck on purpose. This was a Marlin 60 though and many years ago. One of the few guns I kept!

@DEMCAD the reason you are not a '22 type of guy' is your lack of finesse. I see you jerking the trigger throwing off your aim.
If you can shoot a 22 accurately, it will help your accuracy with larger calibers. That because you learn technique (skill).
You should try iron sights instead of scope to start, you only need scope outside 100yds anyways.

Good choices with the Marlin and the Blazer ammo. The blazers seem to be the best value I have found so far. Same specs as the mini-mags just no copper plating so they run great in semi autos. The .22's are not just good for shtf but great practice too. I own 2 savage 64's and along with my bulgarian AK they keep the cost of my range trips down.

A 22LR is perhaps the most important gun you might have in a WROL situation. Like you said, there are not that many deer available but small game is everywhere. A 7.62 round would vaporize a rabbit or squirrel but a 22LR would bring home the bacon nicely. And a 22LR allows you to stock up on sufficient ammo to feed yourself for awhile cheaply.
penguinistas 2 months ago
1 more time Reg drops the ball. Should have got a Ruger10/22. Good luck finding reliable high capacity mags for that thing. Like clockwork the 1st time you went to pull the trigger nothing happens because you had the safety on or didn't have it chambered. What, no dumbass chuckle & grin? Like I said, I hope your incompetance with firearms doesn't cost you your life. You shouldn't be buying new guns when you don't know how to work the 1's you have. Sell them. Learn to use a sling, spear & atlatl.

The .22 may actually be the BEST survival rifle of all...Accuracy, ease of transporting ammo and rifle, economy of stocking up on cartridges....Suggest use of electronic headphones in addition to foam ear plugs for extended practice sessions. Electronic headphones are great for home defense as you can hear BETTER, be able to pinpoint sounds, and protect your hearing!
chord972 2 months ago
Wow! A little extra powder in that round at 3:35.
I see you jerking the trigger on both guns. Your accuracy might improve if you learn to squeeze, hold, reset. Try it. You'll like it.
I too like larger calibers. .30 being my favorite rifle, and .45 in a pistol, but if your intended purpose is to take small game for food, you might want some meat left on the bones. The .22 is ideal for that purpose.
I'm not familiar with modern Marlins, but my old model 60 is very reliable. Marlin Rocks.

Give sub sonic CCI ammo a try for hunting. It will be quieter and more accurate because you eliminate the super sonic crack and turbulence that standard bulk ammo has. Nice rifle. Can't go wrong with a Marlin. If you are looking for more mags, cheaperthan dirt and midwayusa are usually priced well.

@e1040 "the stray cat population will take a nose dive"
I agree, but I am seeking some clarification here.
If a cat is like just off of it's property, let's say an inch or two, can I consider it a stray in SHTF?
I realize that non-stray cats are better fed, and I would like to optimize my hunting ammunition, in SHTF.
If you have any information on "SHTF Cat Hunting Protocol", it would be greatly appreciated by the prepping community.

@silvercountry A gun is a necessary preparation for emergency survival
Where do you think the meat comes from for your hamburger? An animal dies to provide you that meat. That is the natural food chain.
Would you begrudge a fox, wolf, bear or hawk for eating a rabbit or squirrel? If not, then why are you hating on human beings?
There are always far too many animals born for the available food supply. Thinning the weak is necessary for the survival of the majority.

Bought the Marlin .22 tube loader 3 months ago. Holds 14 rounds and is a great gun. A .22 in the hands of a crack shot is more dangerous than an AK in the hands of an in experienced shooter. I own a 357, 12G, 20G, .17HMR, AK47, .22LR. I love my .22 and its so cheap to shoot. For less than $250 you can buy a brand new Marlin and 1,000 rounds.

caregiver7751 2 months ago
Actually you rest the gun, take one shot at dead center, see where the shot hit. go back rest it and aim dead center, hold the gun steady and adjust the cross hairs over where it hit. Best aim is dead on at 25 yards or so then it will travel up about an inch high at 60 yards and by 100 yards will be about an inch or two low. With that you can hit a dime at 100 yards about every time. You also are flinching as you are squeeze the trigger. breath in O2 let a little out relax and be dead on!

Slide the spring loaded catcher down until the range scale 1 (100-meter) mark is aligned with the spring loaded catcher.
