Um, oh yeah, quite a few choices to play with...

Boyds Riflestocks carries 7 different models of Laminates for the 795/60...

Aw heck...just do a google search of Big Shrek Marlin 60/795 accessories, you'll pull up a 6-page listing of Marlin 60/795 toys

I'd post a link, but they hate it when you do that.

Synthetic stocks...
Wells P-90 stock fits the 795 with a few minor mods...
Muzzlelite Bullpup model 70 stock...
Ramline model 70...
and almost any weirdo kit for a 1022 can be modded for the 795...like the MG42...just gotta add some plastic filler & fiddle the T/G area.
Here's my 795 wearing a Ramline...


Oh, anything made for the Marlin 70 just needs a hole drilled in the T/G area to let the LSHO lever thru...easy peasy.
The Marlin 70, 795, 989, 989-M2, 995, etc, are all the same rifle, just with different stocks & the 795 has LSHO.
(Last Shot Hold Open)

Shooter's Ridge made a 25-rd mag...but it kinda required that your rifle be pillar bedded
and you had to fiddle with it to get it to work right...

Champion (SR) is making the second-Gen SR mag...which I've yet to test, but reportedly it works a little better...

Marlin offered a 20-rd mag with the 70HC, which was the daddy of the 795.
Ramline used to offer a hi-cap, but quit making it in 1995, when Bill Clinton's Anti Gun Law (Assault Weapons Ban) took effect.

Avoid at all costs, the National Magazine 15-round magazine...it SUCKS worse than the 1st-gen SR mag.
