Mossberg 702 Plinkster Bantam | .22 LR | 18″ | 37071

The Mossberg 702 Plinkster Bantam is a youth-oriented semi-automatic .22 LR rifle with an 18-inch blued barrel and a black synthetic fixed stock designed for lighter carry weight and straightforward handling. It ships with adjustable rifle sights and a receiver grooved to accept 3/8″ scope mounts for simple optic installation. This model suits target practice and small-game hunting, and it is configured to be accessible for younger or smaller-framed shooters.
