Adding To The List

of Guns I Want:

A Marlin 795 to make an LTR for Project Appleseed shooting events.

Most folks use the Ruger 10/22, but I have a Marlin 60 that is a tack driver and so I'd kind of like to stick with the Marlins. I guess I could just use the Marlin 60, but the 795 has a detachable magazine and the swivel studs are already installed.

If I were to get the Ruger 10/22 instead of the Marlin I'd want the Sporter model because I like the way it looks. I'm a sucker for the traditional wood and blued steel, and I just love the American Walnut stock.

Kinda funny how a guy that carries a Glock likes wood on his rifles, but there it is.

UPDATE: Purchased 5/13/13

We think alike. I too like the classic wood and blued steel - and I too carry a Glock.

Nothing looks better than a nicely polished wood stock - I really love the looks of American Walnut - with the blued metalwork.
Thanks for dropping by Stephen!

My pleasure. Forgot to mention - I took an M1A to my first Appleseed. Fired over 600 rounds of ammo for two days. When finished I had two blooded and raw elbows too.

I'll bet it was a lot of fun, though. I'd take the Mosin (I have plenty of ammo for it) but I'm afraid the damn thing would beat me to death, it's got quite a kick.
Thanks for dropping by Stephen!
