It's basically a Mossberg 702 plinkster in a fancy stock, so the reliability should be the same for the two rifles.

so far for the money, this sounds like a good buy, I was looking at the REM 597VRT but shooters were complaining about jamming and it's more money. Alternitive would be RUGER SR-22. Thanks for the comments.
Go to a gun store and see the Ruger beside the Mossberg.
IMO, the Mossberg comes in as a fairly poor deal, compared to the Ruger. The Mossberg build quality looked....lightweight. It does not offer any possibility of adding, subtracting, or changing out any of it's components, except maybe to buy a plinkster wood stock and revert back to that. The Ruger, and the Remington, both offer the option to go about any direction one may wish, choosing from all levels of aftermarket accessories, from airsoft to full-on, bet-your-life solid AR stuff.
A bud just got an Archangel kit for his 10/22, and as all plastic rigs go, it's a pretty good, solid piece of kit too. The execution of that stock seemed much better, though it still does not offer any interchangeable parts.
Looking at the Mossberg at P&D a couple weekends back, I gotta say, I don't think the price is low enough to make them worth it. Truth. I didn't even bother to ask how much, when I picked it up and had a good look at it.
The rifle inside Mossberg's iteration of the stock, is a proven performer. Dunno how the Mossy mags will work out. Wasn't impressed at all with the stock's execution. YMMV

I have one, no issues firing bulk ammo, your paying $100 more than the 702 for the look. IMO it shouldn't be that much more as they are not using any of the 702 stock. But it is a neat gadget and if your looking for something like that to beat around then you save alot of money compared to buying the remington or ruger models and if you sell you won't lose too much money.

O.K I think I made up my mind. I think I'll go get one for the money. I won't get to upset if she get's it dirty and with all the plastic it will be harder for her to scratch.I think the lighter weight sold me,she's only 110lbs.She has some difficulty with her nitro mag 887 but still can shoot just fine just can't hold target too long. Thanks guy's.
I've got 1000rds down the barrel and not one issue. A lot of people believe they are cheap, but that is what I was looking for.... a cool lightweight bush gun. And this was the one! Great fun, looks cool, and gets the attention I wanted. Will be a lot better though when the 25rd mags come out.
