In reply to Gary Perry. That sling isn't very special, but it works. It's from TrinitySupply.

What is the mossberg sling you show in the article? Does it just fit thru the holes on the stock and front holes or do you need to modify gun?

In reply to Man of the West. I agree with you on the 10/22, as the one I bought last month has been consistently unreliable out of the box. Allowing for "break-in" I have used only good and hot rounds and to my and my son's consternation our new 10/22 take-down model has had hang ups in almost every mag we have frustratingly fired. It would have been worth waiting to get the much better Browning take-down since one of those would be better than two of these. Very disappointing way to get a new shooter excited about the sport expecially since his d*+# Nintendo is more fun than digging out stovepipes from this POS. However, I remain hopeful that Ruger will make it right; it is just so uncool that we have to send it to them rather than just shoot them.

I’ve owned my 702 since 2004 and it has yet to fail feeding ANY .22 LR ammo, the same cannot be said for ANY Ruger 10/22. The Ruger is overbuilt and heavier than need be. I have a “Pre-Graffiti” 10/22 from the early 70’s fairly accurate and EXTREMELY finicky with most ammo. Personally I think the 10/22 maybe the most overrated rifle of all time. Other than the ease of disassembly Mossberg’s 702 Plinkster is superior in every way. More accurate, lighter, hollow stock for survival kit, more affordable – you can buy two plinksters for the price of one 10/22. I own .22’s by Mossberg, Winchester, Glenfield/Marlin and Ruger and the Mossberg International 702 Plinkster is king.

I bought a mossberg 702 plinkster 22 long rifle at Walmart in marion, Virginia in fall of 2016. I didn’t have a scope at the time but I bought one a week ago 7-15-2018 and found out that where it mounts is bowed so the scope points 4″ from the tip of the barrel ! No way to get the scope close to where it hits 2 feet to the right at 35 feet with scope maxed to the left ! I shot it off sights and always thought they looked cock-eyed. So now I say what a piece of crap , no I’m sorry I meant to say piece of ” CRAP ” !#&$#@*&**!! I never seen such as this junk gun never ! I just used it for a few times and it was on with the very wide adjustment sights up and side to side rear sights. 18 months after buying it from Walmart in marion Virginia !
