Mossberg Tactical .22

A store close to me says they have them (website, haven't called.) for $269.99. They're a dealer on the main page too. I'd want a 20-30 round mag for it though. I've watched a few youtube vids of people who enjoy it.

Bought one on Saturday and picked it up this afternoon. Bought just for a fun plinker but according to the shop owner they are under review and may become restricted or even prohibited.
Tell him drugs are bad, ummkay?

As far as I have heard there is no review, they are non-restricted and should stay that way but I will check further in the next couple of days when I phone to see where my high-cap mags are. What dealer told you this if you don't mind?

I talked to my contact and he says there is NO review and these guns are and will stay NON-restricted. Also there has been a delay because of paperwork on the new high-cap mags but they are coming and they look like AR mags with a skinny end to go in the receiver like the S&W not skinny little bananas like the Ruger and 597 high-caps.

I'm hoping for more info in the next couple of days. I will keep everyone updated as soon as I hear anything.

They could do a review, but it would be a PITA for them, the statement said that it was under review, and it is not.
Oh man, I can't wait if this is true. I couldn't see why someone wouldn't make an AR looking high cap mag!
I'll definatly be keeping my eye out for when they come out!
Finally got a chance to take my new Mossie out for some fun today, good points and bad points found.
Bad - mag release is looking to be a weak point on this rifle, must be depressed to the limit to drop the mag and even then it would hang up a bit. I was worried that the release lever might eventually break off with a bunch of use, but, it might also get better as time goes on and it gets worn in a bit more. Other sticky point with me is that the sight had to be way over to the right by quite a bit to hit where I wanted to, kinda like my old SKS!
Good - For a cheap plastic gun, it sure shoots good once it is sighted in and it impressed me with some great grouping at both 25 and 50 metres! Not very experienced with peep sights but this gun shoots very well. I could consistantly put 10 shots into a 2" circle at 50 metres while shooting at a fairly rapid rate of around 10 seconds/mag. I'm not exactly marksman material either, which leads me to believe that if the time was taken, a better shooter than myself could pull off some impressive groupings.
It looks as if it has micro groove rifling though, which will need to be kept real clean, not as forgiving at my 10/22 or 9422.
For the money, it is a great deal in my opinion.

Funny.... with my Mossberg I have the sights right in the middle. I didn't have to move mine over to the right as much as yours... What kind of ammo did you use? I found the mag release not too bad... takes getting used to I think.
