I personally find the 10/22 controls a deal breaker. If only the 795 had the aftermarket support of the 10/22
Then why did you post it? Oh you're saying my post is hogwash. Gotcha.
I guess I'm blind and I can't tell when my firing pin breaks and my gun won't shoot. I also can't tell when the LSHO doesn't work and that one rifle is more accurate than another. I also couldn't tell time so I didn't notice it took 10 months to get the second trigger guard that broke. I can't tell that a rifle that had 4 breakdowns that required new parts to fix in under a year is not as good as a rifle that went 20 years without ever breaking anything. The only problem that 20 year old rifle had was when I bent the ejector wire. I got it fixed by putting that part back in position using to the expensive gauge I got to fix it. It was made from pure nickel. In fact it was a nickel.
Go ahead and believe Marlin sells a $100 gun with the same parts (well 95% of the same parts anyway) as a gun that costs $160. Maybe the action looks similar but it is weaker in pretty much every way. I can take them apart and take photos to prove my point and I will do just that if you ask nice.
If that stuff is hogwash I'm guilty. What I'm not guilty of is being rude. Have a nice day.
Ok, I see you posted again and in a more civil manner.
The 60 has had a plastic tg for over 25 years. I couldn't say just how far back they go because I haven't seen one that old in a while.
And I have to clean my 795 about every 500 rounds or it will start failing to feed and eject on almost every round. I never cleaned my old 60 for 11 years and it never acted that way. I started cleaning it when it started to have feeding problems. I cleaned it once and waited another 7 years to clean it again.
Your theory is just that, a theory. My 795 jams far more often than my old 60 ever did or any 60 I ever had for that matter.
They both have identical bolts, springs, and just about every other part - assuming you're talking a base-model 60.
The construction of the older models from Marlin is, without a doubt, superior to what was being produced at least through last year
that is utter BS.
