Gun Descriptions

Ruger American Rimfire

The American series from Ruger consists of bolt-action rifles chambered from 22LR rimfire up to large centerfire rifles such as the 30-06 SPG, and were designed to be an innovative yet affordable rifle platform with models suitable for all North American game. This particular example, chambered in 22LR, features interchangeable stock modules that provide comb height options for both scope or iron sight use. The lightweight black composite stock has sling swivel studs and a 13.75" length of pull. The Marksman adjustable trigger offers a user adjustable pull weight, between 3 and 5 pounds. The free-floated hammer-forged barrel has a target-crown, ultra-precise rifling to provide exceptional accuracy, longevity and easy cleaning, and a satin blued finish. It also features a 10/22-style extended magazine release, a fiber optic front sight, an adjustable V slot folding rear sight, and a 3/8" rimfire scope base machined into the receiver, which is also drilled and tapped for Weaver #12 bases.

Mossberg 702 Plinkster

The Mossberg 702 Plinkster is a semi-automatic rifle chambered for the .22 Long Rifle cartridge, using 10- or 25-round box magazines. It has been sold under the Mossberg name since at least 2003. It is a competitor to the Marlin 795, the Ruger 10/22, the Remington 597, and the Mossberg Blaze. The "Plinkster" name was previously applied to a different Mossberg offeringâ€”the Model 377, which was also chambered for .22 Long Rifle, but with a 15-round tubular magazine, available from approximately 1977 to 1984. "Plinking" is a popular term for informal recreational target shooting. 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 inches (46 cm) long and the chrome barrel is 21 inches (53 cm) long; overall lengths are 37 inches (94 cm) and 40 inches (100 cm), respectively.
