I've been looking at short barrel mag fed .22LR rifles lately and saw Mossberg's 802 Plinkster (NOT to be confused with the semi-auto 702 Plinkster! 
). Main purpose would be secondary small game hunting (grouse, rabbit, etc...) while big game hunting. With a 18" barrel it should be easy to leave in a quad or pull out from a vehicle. Being mag fed makes it easy to transport unloaded, yet quick to load once out of the vehicle. I'm hoping the bolt action will make it accurate.
After searching for reviews I found short comments that it's "junk" and "chinsey". Does any here have actual experience with the 802 Plinkster? I would appreciate some more details about the good and bad on this rifle. How is the reliability? Accuracy? Thanks in advance.
