It is easily worth the $300 I paid for it and rumor has it the high cap mags are going to be introduced at the dealer show in KY next week, hopefully up here by Christmas.

Nothing really wrong with the Mossberg, it's a cheap gun for a cheap price and you get what you pay for. For 300 bucks most people can live with the Airsoft-quality shell for an out-of the box tactical-looking .22. If it proves out to be fairly accurate and reliable, then so much the better. However the Mossy really is like that last-call chick wearing the too-red lipstick and Walmart outfit. Maybe not so pretty up close but ready for a good time just the same, and who know's - maybe you could be happy with her for the rest of your life.
Bottom line, if you have you heart set on an SR22, don't buy the Mossberg. No comparison between the two.
Same as Tapco and Nordic.....Archangel and Evo....etc., etc.
They're 2 separate playing fields and I'm sure most of people here are wise to that.
But you know what....the majority of Mossy Tactical owners seem to be happy with them so far!!
And when anything like that happens, it seems to bring the hemorrhoid sufferers, wishers and wannabes out of the wood work...

Agreed. The new mossberg is without a doubt the coolest-looking $300-ish rimfire out there. If I hadn't already scratched the tactical-rimfire itch with an SR22, I would certainly consider buying one myself. In fact I might even pick one up sometime in the future when they start showing up on the EE for 200-250 bucks.
I looked at the 702 tactical like this.
Since it's a gift for my son who absolutely loves anything tactical/military and want's to come shooting with me, it fits the bill.
It's basically the same price as a decent airsoft AR style gun and way more useful and practical.
Just like the NA Mini Master .22 wheel gun. Super high marks for coolness and yet fully functional.
The Mossy is like the girl that looks hot, only has eyes for you and while she's no wonderful chef can still cook without being super high maintenance.
That plus you can take her any place without a lot of fuss, AKA non restricted!

I hear one of the shops on Vancouver Island, Island Outfitters?, is selling them at the $249.99 range already. My only complaint is the crappy trigger but I will do a trigger job in the winter, it doesn't look any harder than a 10/22, and then this thing will rock

Well that's quite the deal! So maybe I'll wait for them to start showing up on the EE for 175-ish then!

And she breaks when you puncture her with a pin!
....there's one in every crowd.
Dont waste your time on the VTR I hate mine actually I havent seen mine in over 2 months since I shipped it to Remington to get a problem fixed, for what I spent should have waited an extra week and went with the ruger, as for my mossberg 22 tactical I havent used it yet but have yet to have problems.
it sucks? my 11 year old girl is itching to get it out to the range, and her reaction when it came out of the box was "ohwowthatssocool".
Yeah it's a pain in the ass taking all the plastic off to do a field strip, but at the end of the day it's a neat looking piece with a 702 plinkster heart. Can't be all bad.

I don't know where you get POS from. I like mine alot and I have a few .22's to make a comparison with. So far ir has eaten everything I have shot through it including some old Remington longs without any problems at all. It also has a high coolness factor.
My only complaints are the lack of a high cap mag and a fairly heavy trigger. The mags are coming and the trigger is no worse than any other stock semi-auto .22 trigger I have ever tried. I just don't see POS.Kim
Well after you go shooting with it could please tell your thoughts on the gun (well if it is worth it compared to a Savage 64 or w/e)?

Well I just read this thread and some forums from the web and people didn't like it that much.
How many of those other forums though were in the US? Remember in the US they have a huge selection of AR 22's and dont have to worry about "restricted". Then add to that their prices down there are cheap as all hell.
So yes comparing this Mossberg to ANY of the other AR 22's this gun will fall short. Simply put though, for us canadians it's cheap, it looks like an actual AR, and its non-restricted.
