What made you choose the 795 over the Model 60? Is it because you prefer the box magazine over the tube mag? Yeah,...but mostly because it appealed to my minimalist nature.

Try some CCI velocitors. They got a really long bearing surface and have excellent accuracy in alot of .22 rifles i have shot.
Small game bullet is great also.
Surprisingly the blazer is really really accurate
Over the years CCI ammo to me has out shot most other american brands.
Those are good groups Tree rat head shot stuff for sure
I love gravity when it happens to tree rats.
Yeah,..I'm going to try lot of different ammo when I can find it.

I got a Marlin Papoose (stainless takedown version of a Mod 60 with barrel that can be unscrewed) that I've never been able to warm up to, in part because of the 7 round mag. OTOH my cousin who is more like a brother had a tube-fed Glenfield bolt action when we was teenagers, feels to me like that is the way a .22 rifle is supposed to load. The nephew who I took shooting this past weekend asked if he could do a "magazine dump"; by rapid trigger action he ripped off all fourteen rounds in that Mod 60 like it was on full-auto, accurately as well, massacred them cans

Tks, I sent off for the NcStar rings you linked.
Only ever scoped one rifle and that was a Scout Scope on a Marlin 336, still sits in my safe.
Obviously I need to learn about rings, I’ll dick around with these and worry about a scope later.
In the meantime I got no problem with that .22 as is. Deadly on aluminum cans and prob’ly minute-of-human even with those sights well beyond 50 yards in a SHTF scenario. Nobody wants to get shot, even with a .22. Mike, here’s a pretty good deal on a cheap Bushnell: https://www.cdnnsports.com/bushnell-a17-3-5-10x36mm-matte-rimfire-scope.html#.XoQJkhROnDsTks, think I'm gonna hold out for a 1" scope, low power fixed or variable, 1-3 x 20 or such.

always wanted one of those Stainless Papoose models. Swing by and pick it up next time you're through, been sitting unused in my safe forever. Had it so long I don't recall if it came in a case and the little barrel tightening tool wandered off somewhere long ago.

Just figure out what you want for it. And I’ll treat ya to some good Mexican food when I pick it up. 🤠

Hadn't thought about selling it, ya could trade something if ya want, or just accept it as a gift, either one. No biggie. On the topic of takedown/take anywhere .22's the Papoose didn't do it for me, neither did the takedown semi auto where everything fits into the fat, floating plastic stock (tho that design made a lot of sense). IIRC Springfield Armory made the one I had, I think Henry makes 'em now. Far and away the best IMHO was the Savage Mod 24C "Camper's Companion". This was mine..... My son has it now, he learned to shoot with it close to thirty years back, now his daughter shoots it. Of all my firearms, that was my favorite.

Those Savages were the thing back in the seventies and eighties when Survivalism was big. Multitude of calibers combined with inserts to shoot even more. Truth be told, the .22 over 20 gauge was probably the most useful. A .223/20 Ga. with an insert to shoot 22 RF might be even better for those on a budget and for a backup to the AR.

I also had one of those Savage Model 24 O/U Combo guns in 357 mag over 20 ga. Gave it to Dad for his truck gun at the Ranch, because he liked it so much for snakes and varmints. My nephew inherited it when Dad passed a couple of years ago.
