You have basically asked the same question four or five times now. Is there one specific gun you want and for what purpose? There's certainly no comparison between an HK P30 and a Marlin 795. 0 -
All of the guns you mentioned are quality guns. All of them should be highly reliable within their respective types. All of them are highly durable (especially Ruger wheelguns, which are built like tanks and are probably literally impossible for you to wear out in normal use). None of them are truly "match" guns, but all of them are probably more intrinsically accurate than you are capable of shooting.
You can look up the costs yourself and decide if you are OK with them or not.
Instead of asking for subjective "ratings", I think you'd do better if you'd ask for specific comparisons against other similar category guns.
Marlin 795 is basically the same as the more popular model 60, but with a conventional detachable magazine instead of a tube-fed mag. Its a basic reliable accurate semi-auto .22 that isn't too expensive.
Most people consider the Ruger 10-22 to be sort of the "gold standard" for .22 semiauto rifles. The Ruger certainly is easier to customize, since literally EVERY part on the gun is available in custom form to upgrade exactly like you want it (assuming you have the money to do that) and doing the customization requires no special skills or tools. On the other hand, in absolutely stock form, the Marlin is probably a little more accurate, and possibly even a bit less expensive (though not by much). In terms of STOCK guns, I personally prefer the Marlin, though again, the ability to easily customize the Ruger may outweigh that.
Marlin is harder to disassemble than the Ruger, and not super-easy in absolute terms, though in reality you're not going to be taking it apart very often.
Historically there have been more than one model of Ruger .357 with a 4" bbl. None of them are bad. . .Ruger generally doesn't put out bad revolvers.
Again, in general, revolvers aren't disassembled for routine maintenance, apart from maybe occasionally removing the cylinder to clean the cylinder rod.
In general, the Smith revolvers have superior trigger pulls to the Rugers, though they cost more.
IIRC the HK P30 comes in several action types, and which one you have is going to affect its function (eg SA/DA, DA only, etc). Its a good gun, but its pricey. IMO, its not worth the asking premium over several other functionally similar polymer-framed guns, but that's subjective. How YOU feel about it is more important than how I feel about it.
I've never field stripped one, though I can't imagine its significantly more complicated than many other service type pistols. Like any other gun, its just a question of learning how and doing it a few times to get used to it.
In general semi-automatic guns are highly idiosyncratic, meaning each one will have its own grip shape, action type, balance, and overall "feel". There are a lot of good ones out there. . .its up to you to try different ones until you get a sense of what you like and what you don't.
Which brings me to my final comment. Instead of asking for subjective ratings from strangers, you're probably best off trying to go and handle the different guns yourself to see if you like them.0 -
Marlin 795, I love mine. Its alot smaller than many other 22's. The stock is slimmer and more "youth shooter" compatible. Its basically just another 60, but with a detachable box magazine. If you want a good little 22 rifle and can be satisfied with it the way it is, then get one. If you want something to customize and add a bunch of stuff to, look elsewhere.
Now I do have one single bad experience. Don't expose the plastic trigger guard to abbrasive caustic bore cleaners. It actually shrinks, becomes brittle, then splits. Its a cheap fix from brownells though.
And your definitely going to want to use some locktite on all the sight screws...
This just come from experience. I was very abusive to my 795. I mean it literally got kicked around the back of my jeep (when I had my jeep), had bricks and bricks fired thru it without being cleaned, and was exposed regularly to our wonderful southeast texas coastal plains humidity and extreme hit. And it still sending lead down range without a hickup.0
