Description
The 702 Plinkster is one of several.22 caliber rimfire rifles that Mossberg sells. 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 inch long and the chrome barrel is 21 inch long; overall lengths are 37 inch and 40 inch, respectively. The 702 Plinkster 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 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.
