Looks like Marlin has decided to put out Project Appleseed edition 795’s.\u00a0 Oleg has a post up about them here<\/a> that includes close up pictures that would put anything my hamfisted attempts at photography could produce (there’s a reason he gets paid for his stuff, and I don’t).<\/p>\n

The Appleseed edition is essentially the same setup as I took when I participated in it.\u00a0 From the pictures, it looks like a stock 795 .22 semi-auto with Tech-Sights and a GI sling.\u00a0 What I took differed only in that I used a different kind of sling that frankly didn’t work well as a shooting aid.\u00a0 Oh, and mine didn’t come with a certificate good for one Appleseed shoot.<\/p>\n

I know everyone loves the Ruger 10\/22, but I’d wager that the Marlin 795 is just as good of a rifle (some say better out of the box), and costs significantly less.\u00a0 The base 795 goes for around $150 these days, and it looks like the MSRP for the Appleseed edition is $299, which isn’t far off what it would cost to buy the base, Tech-Sights, sling, second mag, and membership to Appleseed.\u00a0 For that money, you’re looking at not much more than a base line Ruger 10\/22.<\/p>\n

Of course, I’ve gone a little further<\/a> in tricking mine out for the next time I head to Appleseed in hunt for that patch, but that set up will do great for most folks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
