Hi Munrom,
I've got a 702 plinkster and have been happy with it. here is your pros and cons list.
pros:
surprisingly accurate. I have no trouble putting 20-30 groups within 1.5" at 100 yards.
reliable. I have probably 2500 rounds through mine with a few cleanings here and there. only 5-10 fail to fire's that are mostly mag / cheap ammo related
cheap ... very inexpensive gun that doesn't really need anything out of the box
can take 25 rd mags
has the integral mounting system for .22 style scopes
cons:
VERY plastic feel. the stock is NOT an impressive thing out of the box. it doesn't affect function at all but it does feel like a toy
can be a pain to take apart and clean and put back together. once you have done it once it's no problem but it is a little tricky if you haven't seen the videos
overall a good to above average cheap plinker gun. it IS a whole lot of fun to show up kids with their 500 and 600 upgraded 10/22's with a stock 190$ gun
happy shootin
