Mossberg Blaze 22. Anyone use/own?

[Ironheart]

Hey everyone. I've been looking for .22 that isn't a Ruger 10/22. A couple weeks ago I found the Mossberg Blaze 22. I love the overall appearance of the rifle, however the almost all polymer construction makes me a little weary of this .22. I do like to lightweight feature though being that it is of all polymer.


Does anyone here personally own or have shot the Mossberg Blaze?

Thanks

My wife owns one and luvs it. Very accurate. She likes as much or more than her 10 22 she has had for 20 years Has put a thousand rounds thru it no problems at all.

The US reviews are good. It all depends on what you expect out of it I suppose. If you expect a cheap but decent plinker/target/nuisance fixer that you also won't mind letting newbies shoot on then it's been getting great reviews.

If you hope for solid and top-of-the-line then no.

I bought one yesterday at Cabela's and it's VERY light, one of the lightest ones I own. 3.5 pounds, 16.5" barrel. The receiver is polymer but everything you need to be made of metal is so mostly, the plastic saves a lot of weight. Mine came with a Dead Ringer Green Dot sight and an extra 25-round magazine as well.

I'm hoping to take it to the range tomorrow and see how it does.

Honestly, if you get a chance to grab one, especially if it comes with the Dead Ringer sight and extra magazine, why not?
