I know I can't wait to get my Marlin Appleseed LTR. Added my name to the list at Gallery of guns to be notified when they are available.

The 795 has always been on my list as a favorite Riflemans rifle. Probably top 5 all time, and Marlin has made it even better. Out of the box  Appleseed ready.

I know its kind of hard to review a rifle before its in hand, but let us know what you think and post a link to forum discussion's you have started, read and posted on.

Thanks,

Will the trigger pull be modified for us or standard?

Review? I've got a 795 exactly like the offered one but for the fact it has no engraving and it's had better than 5,000 rounds through it. I stopped counting after the first year of loaning it out. Made plenty of Riflemen, out shot several race guns costing four times the price.

There are virtually no accessories available as it doesn't need them. The Marlin LTR will come standard with the only things you need to achieve a 250 score, besides practice.

It's the M1 of LTRs, unbox it and learn to shoot...

I know it comes with 2 mags, sling and Tech Sights. Do they include the sight adjustment tools?

"Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law,' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the right of an individual."
-- Thomas Jefferson to Isaac H. Tiffany, 1819

Do we know when will they be in stock and available for purchase?

No, but if you check out the info page at Davidsons, they got overloaded by info requests and it now says:

Just as soon as we get a heads up when they ship to Davidsons we will get the word out. O0

I just shot my first Appleseed in Ramsure on 2/23 with the same exact setup.  Its not the LRT version but its the same Marlin 795 with Tech sights and sling.  The rifle ran like a champ.  Sadly I missed the patch by only a few points, but it certainly was not the rifle's fault. 

I am very happy to see manufacture support for the Appleseed project. 

And many thanks to the volunteers who ran the Ramsure event.  I loved it.  Sadman inspired me with his strike of the match speech.

What a nation has done, a nation can aspire to.
Dr. Jerry Pournelle

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I think the AS supporters got a tad too defensive too quick. Its tough to control our exuberance at times.   The redemption is it got locked so quick its buried back on page 10 by now. Maybe over the weekend another member can try again.

I don't hang out there. Its a little large and wild for my taste.

Interesting... mine's a friggin 3-stage trigger.  It's never been a problem or even a point of frustration; I do like my 795, but I wouldn't call the trigger a selling point.

If yours performs well, then cool. O0

Rocket Man

Wouldn't want the trigger to be too good anyway...  goes against the whole "4 MOA with a rack grade rifle" concept.   >:D

795's are certainly good enough out of the box.  Not awesome, but hey, it's a beater rifle.  It's not designed to be awesome.

This is almost as bad as Christmas but not knowing when it is going to come.
Last evening, it occurred to me that when a defender of Liberty is called home, their load lands upon the shoulders of the defenders left behind. Just as the Founders did their duty for Liberty, every subsequent generation must continue their work lest Liberty perish. As there is no way for the remaining adults to take on the work of those that die, we must pass the ideals and duties on to the children. -PHenery
