Who This Rifle Is For
Look, this Mossberg is for the shooter who wants function over flash. It’s the ideal first rifle for a young shooter or a new gun owner—the .22LR recoil is negligible, and the operation is simple. It’s for the landowner who needs a reliable varmint rifle that can sit in a truck without worry. It’s also for the seasoned shooter who wants a cheap-to-feed plinker for casual range days. I’ve put hundreds of rounds of bulk-pack ammo through similar models, and they just keep cycling. That said, it’s not a precision match rifle; it’s a utilitarian tool and a fun gun.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The price point is the biggest advantage—you get a capable semi-auto from Mossberg without breaking the bank. The synthetic stock is practically maintenance-free and stands up to moisture and bumps. The .22LR caliber means ammo is still relatively inexpensive and available everywhere. The simple design is drop-in ready for most standard rimfire optics or scopes with a .22 tip-off rail, and it fits out of the box with no gunsmithing required for basic use.
Cons: The trigger is typically utilitarian—it works, but don’t expect a target-grade break. The silver finish, while classic, can show handling marks more than a matte finish. Being a budget rimfire, it may prefer certain types of ammunition over others for flawless cycling; a little testing with different brands is wise. The 10-round capacity is standard, but some states have restrictions, so always check local laws.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of ammunition does this rifle use?
A: It is chambered specifically for .22 Long Rifle (22LR) rimfire cartridges. It will cycle standard velocity, high-velocity, and most hyper-velocity rounds, though for optimal reliability, I’ve found high-velocity 40-grain rounds work best in these types of actions.
Q: Is the magazine included?
A: Yes, the rifle comes with one detachable 10-round box magazine. Finding additional Mossberg-branded or compatible aftermarket magazines is generally straightforward.
Q: Can I mount a scope or red dot on this rifle?
A: Absolutely. The receiver is grooved for a standard .22 tip-off scope mount, which is compatible with countless rimfire-specific optics from brands like Simmons, UTG, or Bushnell. It’s a simple, no-drill process to add optics.
