Here’s the thing—when it comes to small game hunting or managing pests on your property, a lightweight, fast-handling rifle is key. The Blaze’s 16.5-inch barrel provides a great balance between velocity and pointability in brush or from a blind. The green dot sight excels in varied light, giving you a clear, single point of aim without obscuring your target. This rifle ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your next outing. Weighing in at approximately 4.5 lbs, it’s easy for shooters of all sizes to manage comfortably for hours.
Who This Rifle Is For
This package is built for the practical shooter. It’s for the landowner who needs a dependable tool for varmint control, or the new shooter looking for an affordable, low-recoil platform to build fundamental skills. It’s also a solid choice for a truck or utility gun—a grab-and-go option for impromptu plinking sessions or dispatching pests around the barn. The included optic means it’s truly drop-in ready; you don’t need to be a gear expert to get it running.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The biggest advantage is the complete package. You get a functioning optic system without additional cost or compatibility research. Mossberg’s name brings proven rimfire reliability to the table. The semi-auto action and last-round bolt hold-open mimic more expensive tactical platforms, making it a great trainer. Maintenance is straightforward, and it feeds reliably from its proprietary 10-round magazine.
Cons: As a dedicated .22LR, its applications are naturally limited to small game and training. The synthetic stock is functional but basic. The sight is a fixed, non-magnifying red dot, so precision work at longer ranges isn’t its forte. Magazine availability can sometimes be a consideration, so picking up a spare when you order is a smart move.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the green dot sight already zeroed?
A: No, the sight will need to be zeroed for your specific ammunition and shooting distance. The process is simple—fire a group at your desired range (like 25 yards) and use the adjustment dials to move the dot to your point of impact. A box of 50 rounds is usually enough to get it dialed in.
Q: What type of batteries does the Dead Ringer sight use?
A: The Dead Ringer green dot typically uses a common CR2032 coin cell battery. These are widely available at most stores, and one battery provides a long runtime, especially if you remember to turn the sight off after use.
Q: Can I add a sling to this rifle?
A: Yes. The stock is configured with a standard front sling swivel stud, allowing you to attach a single-point or two-point sling for easier carry. It’s a simple upgrade that greatly increases the rifle’s utility in the field. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases, as with all our firearms.
Look, for under $250, you’re getting a functional Mossberg rifle with an aiming system already solved. That’s a hard value to beat for a tool meant to be used, not just stored. It handles bulk-pack .22LR ammo all day, making practice affordable. The package is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide. If you need a no-fuss rimfire that works right from the first range trip, this Blaze package covers the essentials.
