Mossberg 702 Plinkster - The Firearms Forum

Anybody else got one? For the price and weight, $107 & 4 lbs, I couldn't pass it up. Only put about 300 rounds through it so far. Does anyone make a higher capacity magazine?

I think it will make a good truck gun.

I don't own one, but I have two friends that each own one and they really like 'em. They are accurate rifles. Only draw back that I can think of is that Mossberg never should of tagged it a "702 Plinkster" - they should have just tagged it a "702" IMHO... Unfortunately it would seem tagging the word Plinkster on it turns many a would be buyers away. They're just as good (if not better) then the Marlin 795, again - IMHO.

We sell quite a few in the summer months. Good little gun for the money. I could be wrong, but I don't know of any hicap mags available for this firearm.
