Another option is a Ruger 10/22, The ruger gives you tons of options to customize and is higher capacity stock. Although most will say out of the box the Marlin is a straighter shooter. I also have a Nylon black Apache Remington semi auto that my dad had when he was a kid. That rifle probably has a couple million rounds though it, no lie.
Have fun, be safe. 22lr is a great round for target shooting and having fun.

a 10 day waiting period? What the H**L? Texas requires you to wait until you pay the cashier.
Well, when you do get your rifle, enjoy.
I own a 795 SS w/scope and love her. It's a far better shoot than the 10/22. I've fed everything through mine and found the only round she won't send down range consistantly is Remington Thunderbolt (which the owners manual indicates). They stovepipe 1 in 20 shots. I use raised scope mounts solely to allow for iron sight shooting when practical.
If we all get "Obama'd" you could theoretically feed your family with this weapon for around $3.00 per year as long as you purchase your rimfire rounds prior to the implementation of Pelisi's new numbering law.
Just a thought; if you do purchase large stores of ammo, remove them from the box (cardboard attracts moisture), pack in plastic bags with silica desicant packs, (www.agmcontainer.com/desicantcity) place in plastic coffee cans, and seal with wax. They'll sirvive longer than the modern automobile as we know it.
Have fun and remember to: "Lead, follow, or get out of the way"

Buy your guns now, Obama has his way you won't be able to buy a slingshot without registering it. And the rocks you want to throw with said slingshot, well they batter have a serial # on them and you'll be taxed on them too.
I have talked this over with my dad, I think this summer we're pooling our funds and buying a few sizes of ammo in BULK in fear that it may no longer even be available

Been doing this since November when the car went away for hibernation!! Now I can't stop.. LoL
I personally have a pre-ban 10/22 (three weeks since I made the purchase now) and I already have about 400-600 rounds through it, I also have a few accessories on their way.... This rifle is more fun to shoot than my AR-15!! Just picked up four 25rd mags for it at a gun show... even more fun!!
I have read good things about the Marlin rifles, I am sure you're going to love it. I almost bought two Marlin 60's but at the last minute the guy decided to keep them... he realized what Obama has in mind, so now he's keeping everything!! Get what you can now, the "proposed" Ban list is already circulating!

is marlin 795 rifle any good? .22
Marlin 795
I just found out that the Marlin 795, is a preferred gun by some Appleseed instructors over the Ruger 10-22. Either gun is great, lots more options and accessories for the Ruger. http://appleseedinfo.org/
My son, Isaac, said that the Ruger is the "AR" of 22s -lots of options, more expensive, and the Marlin is the "SKS", cheaper with maybe, fewer options.
The difference? Ruger is 220 to 250, and it needs some work to make it really usable for Appleseed. The Marlin is 149 bucks at Bass Pro, we hear, sometimes on sale for $99.
I do not know yet about modifications, needed.
My oldest son custom designed a Sling which works both ways; hasty or loop with a buckle QD to take the loop sling off the arm quickly between shooting times.
Ian qualified twice Saturday, shooting a 225, and a 221, out of 250 possible, and so began as an instructor on Sunday; very cool.
For BOTH guns you can get military style peep sights for front and back, with adjustable windage and elevation. These increase accuracy immensely, giving almost 30 to 40% longer sight radius, and improving the target sight picture as well. Tech Sights
http://www.tech-sights.com/
"With the Tech-Sights Marlin Model 60 aperture sights I feel like I am shooting a whole new rifle. With these sights I can see and hit small targets at the distances I knew my Marlin was capable of reaching. Shooting offhand at 25 yards I have progressed from 6-8” groups to 1” groups. The difference is like putting on your first pair of glasses and realizing once again that trees have individual leaves.

"About a year or so ago I purchased my first set of Tech-Sights for my Ruger 10/22. The installation is a breeze and the quality of the hardware is first class. I get together with my shooting buddies on the weekends and we compete against each other for bragging rights. When I showed up with my 10/22 without the scope they thought there was no way I was going to be able to compete with them at a 100 yard setup. Needless to say I proved them wrong! All 4 of them had scopes on their rifles and shot for shot not one of them could match the accuracy with my Tech-Sight setup. No more trash talking about me and my open sights!"

"I didn't have much time because the deer was running, but I was able to shoot quickly because the sight makes it easy to find your target. I think peep sights are way better than scopes, especially when the target is moving."

Just so you know, Tech Sights makes them for the following guns, which tells you these guns are good models for this kind of shooting. I will list them in order of overall preference for Appleseed;
Ruger 10/22 Sights
Mossberg 702 Sights
Marlin 795 Sights
CZ 452 Sights (BOLT action)
.30 caliber;
SKS Sights
AK Sights

any Marlin rifle you buy is GOOD.
i had owned Many, and still do. semi auto and bolt action.
they never failed me.
just buy the good .22 ammo. CCI or Hornaday.
cheap ammo will jam a semi auto

Building an AR lower this weekend, ordering a LaRue PredatAR on Monday and another Noveske Lower. Not to mention been steadily getting about 1000 rounds a month of 5.56/.40 and 9mm lol
