The Mossberg 702 Plinkster is a rifle chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge sold under the Mossberg name.[1]

The Mossberg 702 is a competitor to the Marlin 795, the Ruger 10/22, the Remington 597, and the Mossberg Blaze.

Description

The Plinkster is one of four .22 caliber rimfire firearms Mossberg sells.[2]

The Model 702 is made in Brazil by Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (CBC) and is sold under the Mossberg name. It is essentially the CBC Model 7022 restyled to Mossberg's specifications and previously sold under the MagTech brand name. The "Plinkster" name was previously applied to a different .22 semiautomatic rifle from Mossberg. "Plinking" is a popular term for informal recreational target shooting.

It is available with many combinations of barrels and stocks, from synthetic to maple stock, and from chrome to blued steel barrel. The blued barrel is 18 inches long and the chrome barrel is 21 inches long.

The bolt and receiver design is modeled on the Model 70 variant of the Marlin Model 60; the ejector, firing mechanism and feed system are different.
