Description
The Mossberg Int 702 Plinkster Duck Commander SA 22LR 18″ Barrel, Max-5, Bandana, 10rd is a semi-automatic .22 LR rifle designed for fun, affordable plinking and small game hunting. It’s a themed version of the reliable 702 Plinkster, featuring a full Max-5 camouflage dip and Duck Commander branding, making it a great first rifle or a casual range toy that won’t break the bank.
I’ve put a few hundred rounds of cheap bulk ammo through the standard 702 action, and it’s a workhorse. This Duck Commander edition takes that proven platform and wraps it in a full-coverage, waterfowl-inspired Max-5 finish that’s actually pretty tough. It comes ready to go with a 10-round magazine and a themed bandana—look, it’s a fun package that gets you on the range without overthinking it. The price point is a huge part of the appeal here. At $214.03, you’re getting a functional, brand-name .22 that ships to Missouri and compliant US states.

Weighing in at roughly 4.5 pounds, this rifle is a featherweight, perfect for younger shooters or long walks through squirrel woods. The 18-inch barrel gives you a good sight radius without being unwieldy, and the overall length sits around 38.5 inches. Here’s the thing—the synthetic stock is durable and the finish is surprisingly resilient against scratches and moisture. It’s a simple tool that fits out of the box, needing nothing more than a basic optic or some iron sight practice. Speaking of optics, the receiver is grooved for standard .22 tip-off mounts, making it compatible with popular budget-friendly scopes from brands like Simmons and UTG.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is an ideal first firearm for a new shooter in Missouri, a dedicated small game hunter who wants a tough, camouflaged tool, or anyone who just wants a low-cost, low-recoil rifle for burning through bricks of .22 at the farm. It’s also a solid choice for a truck gun or pest control tool where you don’t want to worry about beating up a fancy finish.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Extremely affordable cost of entry. Proven and simple mechanical design. The full camo dip is more durable than paint. Very lightweight. Ammunition is cheap and plentiful. Great for building fundamental marksmanship skills.
Cons: The trigger is typically utilitarian—it works, but it’s not a target trigger. The synthetic stock is basic and may feel hollow. The theming might not be for everyone, but the function is all Mossberg.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What kind of ammunition does it use?
A: It’s chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It runs most reliably with standard and high-velocity rounds. I’d avoid sub-sonic ammo for consistent cycling, especially when new.
Q: Can I mount a scope on it?
A: Absolutely. The receiver has a grooved rail for standard .22 tip-off rings. No gunsmithing required—just get a set of rings designed for a 3/8″ or 11mm dovetail, and you’re set.
Q: Is it good for a beginner?
A: Yes, it’s one of the best beginner platforms out there. The low cost, minimal recoil, and inexpensive ammo let new shooters focus on safety and technique without financial pressure. Remember, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases.
That said, if you’re looking for a no-fuss, fun .22 that embraces its role as a casual plinker and hunting companion, the Mossberg 702 Plinkster Duck Commander edition delivers. It’s a specific vibe, but the performance underneath is all business. Check availability at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
