That is a right purty looking little gun!  :)  Just got word via email that mine had shipped to my FFL dealer; with a little luck, maybe it'll be ready to pick up on Monday! Wonder if mine will have the Appleseed gift certificate in it...? That'd be handy, as I've signed up for an Appleseed (my first!) here in Maine on December 7th and 8th! Or if it's too late to use the gift certificate for that one, I'll just keep it for the next one - I am quite sure there'll be a next one!  ;D

If you got the e-mail from Davidson's that says the rifle has shipped it should have the order number listed (they don't send a tracking number). You can use FedEx to "Track by Reference." just use the order number, shipping date, and the destination zip code and it should come up, including the actual tracking number. And make sure to let the dealer know to check the shipping box for the gift certificate.

Got out to the range today to try out the 795 LTR. Used another target to make adjustments of the tech sights, but these are the groups my wife and I shot:

I am pleased to report that I picked up my Marlin 795 Appleseed LTR from my FFL this afternoon!  ;D

It looks just like jwebster's, except my "LTR" engraving isn't in red, white, and blue...  ;)

That's the good news; the bad news is that the Appleseed gift certificate wasn't with it (not that I was surprised, after others' experiences). As per Brown's advice, I have contacted Davidsons. We shall see.

But I'm glad I got it, and it looks quite good!   O0  Now if I could just find .22 LR ammunition to run through it...!

I'm guessing your wife shot the center square, ^-^  at least that is the way it is in our house.

Viator (and everyone else),

The certificate MAY be in the shipping box.  So, also check with your local gun store / FFL.

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."

When I called the FFL I had my LTR shipped to (my niece) to ask her to watch for the certificate, she told me the Davidson's guy had asked her to look for it when she unpacked the shipping box.

The rifle looks really good  O0

    My FFL received 7 Marlin LTRs last Friday.  The Appleseed gift certificates (all of them) were in a separate, clear plastic bag in the shipping box, NOT in the individual rifles cartons.  Also in the clear bag was a card from Davidson's concerning their guarantee for the rifles.

    So...they're in there...

I shot the upper left, but I was standing/off hand. He was resting partially on the bench with his support arm while shooting the center.
