I have the Marlin 795 SS, bought only about 2 years ago.

I HAD a Ruger 10/22 for a few months before that. Total piece of crap. It had miserable accuracy and I tried every brand of ammo I could lay my hands on. Some were better than others, but none of them produced the accuracy that I now get with the Marlin using whatever I care to feed it.

I could forgive the 10/22's bad stock, poor mag release and clunky fittings, but the lack of accuracy was unforgiveable. Accuracy problems with the 10/22 are well known, this problem may have been confined to a certain period of time, but I wasn't about to buy another one to see if it, too, was a POS.
