Would I be fine with a Marlin 795, or should I spend an extra $90 and go for a 10/22? This is at Dick's.

10/22. Apparently 795s dont cycle subsonics very well if you ever suppress it with fibreglass insulation, a coke can and duct tape.
>source NZ fag who owns real suppressors.

Don't buy Marlin, their QC got cut after they were bought out by Cerberus

10/22 aftermarket options buddy

When dealing with semi-auto .22LR rifles, the answer is always going to be "just get a damn 10/22."
Aside from niche builds, there is pretty much nothing you can do with .22LR that a 10/22 setup of some sort can't accomplish.

795 if you just want a .22 and have no plans other than new sights or a scope
10/22 if you want to fiddle with it and don't mind paying for the gun a few times over with mods.

this as well but not every marlin you buy will be an absolute shit heap. its a gamble though
i researched these two rifles pretty hard, what i found out is that the marlin is quite a lot more accurate out of the box, and it has a last shot bolt hold open feature which is very handy.
The Ruger has much better magazines and is a lot simpler to disassemble and clean.
The ruger also has crazy aftermarket support, you can basically build it into anything. The marlin has next to no aftermarket support.
So if you plan on keeping the rifle stock, and just plinking away with it right out of the box then the marlin is the better deal. If you want to spend a little money upgrading parts and getting creative then the Ruger is the obvious choice

My buddy got a 795 right around the time I got my 10/22. Might as well slap some bread on it and call it a sandwich because he has himself a jam-fest every time.
I've had no problems with my 795 but I do realize it's built with cheap as fuck materials, the damn thing feels like it will fall apart in my hands. Also the front sight was crooked... Other than that it shoots perfectly. And I've never had a FTF

>front sight was crooked
Why is it so fucking hard for marlin to get their sights straight? Ive never heard of any other company fucking their sights so consistantly
