The 5.56 lower and .22 upper is a good idea in theory, but I have a cmmg ar15 in .22 and it's junk.. Sending it back asap to get all sorts of things fixed. Now wish i woulda bought a m&p for 2/3rds of the price and used the rest of the money to buy another gun/ammo.

I bought one of the mossbergs for my boys at Christmas. For what it is I think its a dang good buy. The gun was cheap, the ammo is cheap, it's never ftf or fte. Cheap doesn't always equal junk. I've had mossbergs shotguns and they at great. I don't know what the fuss is all about.

About a year ago American Rifleman did a comparison of all of the .22 Tactical models.

Naturally they were as biased towards the guns who spent lots of advertising money.

Their review on the Mossberg was hilarious,,,
You could tell they didn't want to give this gun high ratings,,,
But by virtue of their testing it actually rated rather high against all of the others.

It didn't jam,,,
It was as accurate as any other,,,
It ate all of the different ammunition brands/types.

But they only ran a small ad,,,
So while the gun wasn't ignored it was "damned with faint praise".


It's basically just a 702 Plinkster with a fancy stock and oversized magazine.

But having owned a 702 for three years now,,,
Mine (the standard stock version) has been a great performer,,,
It's the rifle I take when I just want to burn some ammo and have lotsa fun.

The "tacti-kewl" factor is all for show.

I ended up going with the M&P 15-22 MOE. Sooner State Pawn hooked me up with one. I haven't got a chance to take it to the range yet, but can't wait to!
